Re: [bpfk] {e'i} in usage and in the wiki

Er, how is this not redundant to {.ei}? {.ei mi cliva} is what I've always said for that example.

"Attitudinal. Used to command / dictate / instruct / order / oblige / constrain / impose an obligation."

This might be in conflict with the current usage meaning roughly "have to"

May be it's not in conflict but then explanations and more examples must be given.
Is "command to myself" really "I have to"?

I would translate for example "e'i mi cliva" into Esperanto as "mi foriru". which is a first person imperative. English doesn't strictly have first person imperatives, so it would be "I should leave".
