But the point is, we ba'e don't have the mechanism to cope with
distances.  A change is needed, yours or mine or someone elses, but
there is definitely a hole to plug.  BTW, I don't think it would fit
into BAI.  BAI can be converted, and I wouldn't really know what to do
with sete'i or tete'i...  Every possible meaning eludes my consciousness
very conscientiously.  Dunno.  Syntax, as I see it, looks a lot like
FAhA, though the meaning is something completely different.  Not like
BAI.
