so why not selvla?
I feel like selvla is settling. I'll take it if nothing better comes up, but you can define things that aren't words. You can define concepts (which are, I admit are typically expressed in words) and symbols, too.
I think to define is to specify the meaning, but I don't know how to
say "specify". We have "specific", but not "specify". We also have "ca'e",
but it doesn't have a rafsi. "ca'esmu" is glossed as "push-ing-meaning(s)??".
Seems a tad too figurative... As I understand, {ca'e} the discursive and {-ca'e-} the rafsi aren't related.
