ni'o I recall a while ago I offered an analogy of ka:ce'u::du'u:makau, yet
nobody else thought they were anything alike! But they seem directly
parallel to me. Both are abstractions, and both ce'u and makau focus the
abstraction into a certain place of the abstracted bridi.


But every {ka} seems to require a {ce'u}, implicitly or not, while most
{du'u} don't have a {makau} or a {kau} of any sort. Also, the {du'u makau}
reduces eventually to the referent of {makau} while the {ka ce'u} remains
abstract, the property.
