In alice, there's this use of vorme:
i abu cidni sanli gi'e catlu le se vorme noi traji le ka melbi kei lei
purdi poi su'oroi se viska
Now, I'm wondering here whether {te vorme} wouldn't be better. I know
the official gismu definition doesn't specify that x2 is *this* side,
and x3 *that* side, but it seems like that's the way it should be, and
that the sentence would be clearer with {te vorme}. Is that the way
the x2 and x3 are usually used?
