Well, but wait up! .a'o already has 'hopeful' connotations... so why do we need xamgu?

{�.a'o�nicte }

That's pretty short... and pretty floaty. What does it really mean? What does "good night" really mean?�

Imagine saying that to someone while closing the doors. Based on that thought experiment I think it's too long ;) I guess the practical limit is three syllabes. {zansipna}, which I saw somewhere earlier in this thread, is short and seems floating enough ;)
