I was expecting to see brivla, actually.  I think, for instance,
that the inner wheel represents emotions that are not broadly
acceptable to express in public (like lust), where as you move
out of the wheel you get things (like love) for which an attitudinal
is appropriate because you would need some way to express that
you're experiencing that emotion.

Thank you for this spreadsheet.
