Can anybody write a brief explanation of "be'u" and "se'a"?  I need them for
the new attitudinal paper.  They were added by lojbab based on an article about
Japanese culture which he has promised to look for, but were never discussed
on this list.  Supposedly they represent fundamental attitudes in certain
non-Western cultures.  The current scales are:

        be'u    lack/need       satisfaction    satiation
        se'a    self-sufficiency                dependency
