   Discurvises, as such, are discussed in chapter 13 of the reference
grammar.  Selma'o are listed next to every cmavo in the grammar in the
little table in most sections labelled "cmavo discussed in this
section", in jbovlaste, and in the cmavo list on the wordlists page (and
there is even a cmavo ordered by selma'o list as well).  All the selma'o
are catalogued in chapter 20 of the reference grammar.

           Hope this answers your remaining questions on the matter,

Which type? How can I recognize cmavo of this type?

And how would you know that {pat.} belongs to {coi} and not
to {blabi}?

{pa} is a number meaning "one", isn't it?

Where could I find more about such discursives?
