 Could we use attitudinals that way ?
 I thought attitudinals reflect the *speaker* feelings, not x1's feelings.
 eg:
  {.ui la djan klama}
  means "[i am happy :] john is coming"
  not   "john is [happily] coming"

	IMHO, in {.ei la djan klama le zarci}, {.ei} doesn't pertain to john, not the
speaker. Am I completly wrong ?
