I fully support Jorge’s campaign. We don’t need a bunch of crufty old grammar rules for obscure words that nobody neither uses nor remembers when simple well-understood selma’o already work well for the purpose.

I haven't called for a vote yet ;)
The selma'o BIhI consists of three words: bi'i (between), bi'o (from ...
to ...), and mi'i (within ... of ..., in reverse order). They are
conjunctions, not prepositions like the English words. All three can be
optionally modified by the words "ga'o" and "ke'i", which indicate whether
the ends of the interval are or are not included in the interval.
Currently, if GAhO is used with BIhI, there must be two, one on each side.
This is okay when the intervals are one-dimensional, but a
two-dimensional "interval" of the mi'i sort is a disk centered on the
referent of the first sumti. It is possible, and common in complex analysis,
for the boundary of a disk to be all closed except for one point, and it can
even be riddled with holes while not being completely open.
Okay, I understand now, and can see the problem. I believe your suggestion is a sensible change. Still the the "move it to UI" idea.
