I agree with these preferences, but it is my understanding that these
different allmorphic variants of the lujvo are grammatically the same
word: that is, sahurmihe & sarcyminde are in free variation, & the
speaker chooses one over the other according to taste. Certainly
such a situation will stop us arguing about which we prefer.
