that <zi'o broda> does not mean that nothing brodas or any other such
negative thing.
In order words, "zi'o broda" denies that when "broda" lacks x1, there is
anything missing necessary to the relationship.
So, <zi'o xajmi y z> means something like "y has a
sense of humor about z" (i.e., y has found -- or would find >--something
funny
But i thought "xajmi" meant "is funny", not "has a sense of humor about".
When did that one change?
It might be that the negative use of <zi'o> so much put foreward by the
joking maikl might seriously be more useful than the official use, whose
meaning -- if not function -- can be covered in other ways.
"ckasu" covers "zi'o xajmi" adequately, of course... But alternative ways to
say the same thing are very useful to have, all the same.
