xusra:  x1 asserts/claims/declares/states/affirms that x2 is true [about
x3].
tolxu'a: x1 disclaims/disavows/denies/negates that x2 is true [about x3].
norxu'a: x1 is noncommital on the truth of x2 [about x3].

I put [about x3] in brackets because {xusra} doesn't have this additional
place in its gi'uste definition. I don't understand why some words have it
and others don't, so I added it for the sake of consistency.

vaxtu'o: x1 inhales x2.

If they use the dictionary, yes. If they rely on the keywords they have
learnt, then it will keep being misused. Another favourite for this is
{cinmo}, which is mostly used as if it meant "x1 is an emotion", because
the keyword is "emotion".
