No answer for the {ko} form. But for the other, I have a very non-standard
solution that I think might just work: treat {dai} as a scale. (Glosses
below subject to all the standard rigamarole of "attitudinals aren't
propositions", etc; work with me here.)

{.o'u dai [ja'ai]}: I see you're relaxed, and feel relaxed with you
{.o'u dai nai}: You're relaxed, but I'm not.
{.o'u dai cu'i}: You're relaxed. Nothing at all about how I feel is being
expressed here.

I don't think {dai} as a scale has any defined meaning, but this seems
consistent with the standard base form, while adding useful meanings for
the others.
