  Well, of course I was speaking hypothetically, Arnt ;-), if xab _was_
a rafsi of xabju, which it isn't.  What the original suggester actually
wrote was "half-near".  I assume xa'ujbi was what was actually meant.

trying to explain it).

Apart from the fact that xab is not the rafsi of xabju, but of xadba.
