Same question for {ca'u} and {ti'a}. "In front = of X" can mean "between me and X" ("a shadow passed in = front of the moon"), or it could mean "in the direction that X is= facing". Both should be expressible, and the definitions need to be u= nambiguously one or the other.=C2=A0

Happy voting!

By the way, I think the only debatable point in all those sections is the c= mavo {ne'a}, which has two popular meanings/uses. Those meanings are {f= i'o se zvajbi} i.e. "near/in the vicinity of", and {fi'o = se mlana} "on the side of". The former is compatible with the lat= ter, but not vice-versa.
