In a corpus search.

So {reinai ko broda) = {rei ko na broda} Hmmm, I think it's as
pointless as the current meaning of {e'onai}.

How about this? "command - obedience optional"

Now I have a question. May a suggestion be called "obedience optional"
and be stated as a command? If so, then that's {e'u}, but {e'u} is
paired with "warning". Personally, I think there is a difference
between "obedience optional" and "suggestion". I cannot precisely
explain it, I just feel it.
