The full list of basic actions seem to be: cisma, cmila, frumu,
senci, tunlo (smile, laugh, frown, sneeze, swallow). Can you
elaborate on the range that they can cover?

And {bikla} "whip". The most of these are facial in a broad sense, but the original "philosophical" idea was much more about gross bodily movements, muscle contractions at various points in the voluntary sets -- more like {bikla} in fact, but harder in general to find good words for. "kick, blink, step (just lifting the foot, not the whole process), bend, straighten" are some relatively easy cases; harder ones are flexing a finger, raising a knee, and so on: the muscle components of all meaningful actions -- that is, the pieces deprived of meaning.

What are all the cases?
>>
I don't supppose there is a complete list; it is pretty open-ended. I don't remember what other cases were considered and rejected or what ignored or discovered too late. There were a few of the first sort and more of the later.
