Well, if we can't, we can't, but I think it is worth trying.
I insist that {ue} has little to do with it, but I definitely
think {ji'a} is the main component. In fact, I have been using
{ji'a} for this for a long time, but now I think {ji'acai} is
better.

I would expect all languages would be able to express it one
way or another. It is not such a far fetched notion.
