I feel like selvla is settling.  I'll take it if nothing better comes up,
but you can define things that aren't words.  You can define concepts (which
are, I admit are typically expressed in words) and symbols, too.

Seems a tad too figurative...  As I understand, {ca'e} the discursive and
{-ca'e-} the rafsi aren't related.
