 Sorry, this one fails to say what you want. You were taken in by "raumei",
which is a cmavo cluster meaning a suffiency (sufficient-cardinality), as a
llujvo. But if you add "tol" to the front of it. you now ARE making it a lujvo
that means "the opposite of a gradation-some". (rau is the rafsi of gradu)Â
Whatever THAT means.... (you could use to'e, of coure, but that throws off the
syllable count)


{mo'amei} would probably work, though.
