oiro'a, indeed! I need to review the lujvo section...but for problem of naming "vector", perhaps have it referenced to physics terms such as "force" and "direction." however, since vectors occasionally have purely mathematical purposes, even in number theory, this may not hold water.

Well, that's what I meant by "an imaginary amount". Not any
unspecfic amount, but specifically, an "i" amount of them. Just
wanted to save space typing, but now we had to waste three times the
amount of space :-)

No, it's true for ANY cmavo. If you wanted to add a rafsi OF a
cmavo (if it has one), then you wouldn't need the zei. There, now the
imprecision is on the other foot. :-)
