   I guess the real question is "why would you need to unstick them?"
It seems that, unlike "ki" itself, there is no automatic appending of
tenses with kixi__ unless you actually use them.  Therefore, you can
ignore their existence, until you bring them up.  If you want to set
them to a different value, just use "kixiPA <sumti>" again.
