How does one say 'point' as in "I point at the blue chair".  This concept seems
to be missing the gi'uste.  I thought of trying something with basna
(emphasise) with a method of using the finger, but I don't think it makes
much sense:

    mi basna le blanu stizu le degji

It seems to need a method of pointing with the finger which is recursive.
