Right, exactly. That is why cmavo are so freaking hard to learn. Definitely somewhat of a hack to supplement that which brivla cannot describe. It's more elegant than English, true, but achieving that is not very hard. I really should find some place that lists all the types of cmavo (selma'o?) and at least learn the types, if not all "umm, about a thousand" individual thingies.#1 applies to selma'o UI and CAI only, as does #2. That's about 220 cmavo out of, umm, about a thousand. So #3 covers the vast majority of cmavo. A few of the more important ones in #3, just off the top of my head: .i je gi'e .e .a lo le la cu bo.
