I have a question on some of the cmavo's standard definitions. je'e's
definition is "vocative: roger (ack) - negative acknowledge." ui's is
"attitudinal: happiness - unhappiness." I'm guessing (though I don't
know for sure) that the definitions' first parts are the real
meanings, while their second parts are the meanings' opposites. But
why is this necessary or why was it done like this? It was pretty
confusing to me—is there some subtle concept that I'm unaware of?
