The gi'uste seems a bit schizophrenic as to the meaning of slabu.
It insists that it is not the opposite of citno, but then it says
that it can mean old in years, and gives two lujvo with this
meaning (tcesau for ancient, and nilsau for age).

I don't remember seeing darlu with the meaning of "quarrel",
but then some arguments do end like that... :)
