We already have pamast, remast, cimast, etc as cmevla. The thing with
cmevla is their artificially restricted grammar, so I can't use "la
.cimast. cicyractu" for "the March Hare" in Alice, and I refuse to use
"la me la .cimast. cicyractu".
(I currently have "la cibymasti cicyractu", but to me that sounds more
like "the Three Months Old Hare".)

It would be much less of a problem if cmevla were syntactically more flexible.
