Well, since I no longer believe that UI is primarily for expressing (etc.) emotions (etc.), but about indicating spectra. I have only the logical problem -- shouldn't these be bridi? -- with 'dai' (which I never did have a problem with as empathetic emotion, only wondering why it was restricted to second person) or even 'da'ai' in its full unemotional form (assuming 'dai' can be extended to cover third party cases).

of the speaker which arises from identifying with someone else's
happiness.
I can conceivably imagine this being something other than happiness -
for instance, I can imagine expressing schadenfreude with ".ui.oidai"
- but it would certainly be unusual. Dai, however, is still about the
speaker's emotional state; in this, it differs from pei, which very
definitely is not.I'll give you that. {da'ai} is the truly non-speaker one, but I'm on the side of the fence against that one.--
