I think you've convinced me about the screw threads, {plipe} I'm
ambivalent about, I disagree about {sfubu} but I can live with
it...but these places of {farlu} (the source and destination) strike
me as truly unnecessary and harmful. It's not central to the concept
of "falling" as I understand it; it unnecessarily restricts the
meaning; and I don't know what else to call the more general concept.
(On the other hand, if the places are removed there are easy
alternatives to specify source and destination; e.g., use the BAI
cmavo {ka'a}.)
Anybody agree with me?
