I knew about the abstractors. What confuses me is that /mi pu steba ro se
senva be mi/ has no such abstractor and yet steba requires an abstraction:
steba: x1 feels frustration about x2 (abstraction)
That leads me to conclude that abstractions do not necessarily requires an
abstractor and thus it leaves me with a vague idea of what an abstraction
is.
