Thanks for= the refresher.  I still feel qualms, but I suspect they are related t= o the problem with emotives like {ui} rather than to performatives themselv= es.  That, plus the uncertainty that {ai} has a performative component= .  It does set up expectations, as does {ui}, but not the sort of web = that true world-creating expressions do.

I don't find it graceful at a= ll, it makes me want to ask "simxu speni
ma", "mutually married to whom?= ". It should be either "simxu lo ka
speni" or eventually "speni simxu", = but not "simxu speni".)
