Yes, that's what I had read. But there are some points which make me
uncertain of this explanation. Firstly, why is this {cu'e} defined to
be questioning PU or ZI ("when?") and not ZEhA ("how long?")?
Secondly, what is it meant by "to combine cu'e"? Is {cu'eku do puzi
sombo le gurni} also such a combination? Thirdly, do "other tense
cmavo" include VA, VEhA, FAhA, TAhE, ZAhO, ROI, etc?
