The full list of basic actions seem to be: cisma, cmila, frumu,
senci, tunlo (smile, laugh, frown, sneeze, swallow). Can you
elaborate on the range that they can cover?

What are all the cases?

I wish this principle had been applied more often.

In the case of {tunlo}, putting a sumti in a non existent
place is like adding a place with {do'e}. I don't think
it would be hard to interpret what {le sincrboa ba'o tunlo
le xanto} means, would it?
