Umm, no, I don't.  IIRC we've discussed this before, and I threw my
hands up in frustration because I couldn't understand what the hell you
were trying to say.

The x1 of nirna is clearly a neuron.  The x2 is the body containing the neuron.
I have no idea how one could possibly have any reasonable argument against that
point.

Here's the full definition:

 nirna nir          nerve
                    x1 is a nerve/neuron [body-part] of x2; [metaphor:
                    information/control network connection]

                    [also (adjective:) x1 is neural]; (cf. ve benji)

Note the cf. to "ve benji", which seems like it might do what you want.
