[bpfk] BPFK section: TAhE (ta'e vs na'o)



The TAhE section is now more or less ready for voting. You can find it here:

I also added the following comment about {ta'e}:

"The sense of "habit" is commonly ignored in usage in favor of a more general word indicating that the event is common/normal/ordinary. Otherwise it would make little sense to use it for events that don't involve an agent. The difference between {ta'e}'s usage and the intended meaning of {na'o} is almost undistinguishable as things stand. Current usage has {ta'e} as {fi'o jai ze'a fadni} and {na'o} is almost never used."

It seems the distinction between {ta'e} and {na'o} has never been very clear. I remember some very old jboske threads about it.

This needs to be resolved.
