cu'u la rab.spir.

>{nu} is defined as "generalized event abstractor: x1 is

Event != Fact; and State != Fact. Lesson 7 explicitly goes through this.

{nu} *was* formerly understood to be generic. That was before {du'u} was
invented; and that's why we now have {su'u}. {nu} generalises from {za'i},
{zu'e}, {pu'u}, maybe {li'i}; but not {du'u}.
