[lojban] UIs meet Parrott

[tijlan <jbotijlan@gmail.com>]

W. Gerrod Parrott is one of the contributors to social psychology
research on the nature of emotions. He has proposed a taxonomy, which
is featured on:

  http://changingminds.org/explanations/emotions/basic%20emotions.htm
  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_emotions

Some items are identical to certain UIs' gloss words. Parrott's "hope"
would correspond to Lojban's "a'o", for instance. What about the other
UIs? How would you classify the ones below according to his list?

  u'o -- "courage" (simple pure)

  oi -- "complaint/pain" (complex pure)
  o'e -- "closeness" (complex pure)

  io -- "respect" (miscellaneous pure)
  i'i -- "togetherness" (miscellaneous pure)
  i'o -- "appreciation" (miscellaneous pure)
  i'u -- "familiarity" (miscellaneous pure)

  a'a -- "attentive" (simple propositional)

  ia -- "belief" (complex propositional)
  ie -- "agreement" (complex propositional)
  i'a -- "acceptance" (complex propositional)
  i'e -- "approval" (complex propositional)
  ei -- "obligation" (complex propositional)
  e'a -- "permission" (complex propositional)
  e'e -- "competence" (complex propositional)
  e'i -- "constraint" (complex propositional)
  e'o -- "request" (complex propositional)
  e'u -- "suggestion" (complex propositional)

For some, their scalar counterparts happen to have equivalents on
Parrott's list. "i'o nai", glossed as "envy", for instance, would
correspond to ANGER: ENVY.

Note that the terms in the primary emotion column don't necessarily
refer to what we may usually understand by the same term. The primary
"love", say LOVE, differs from the tertiary "love", which is the one
with the more specific and usual sense. LOVE just represents the
category that is not JOY, SURPRISE, ANGER, SADNESS, and FEAR. Should
"a'a", for instance, don't seem to fall under JOY, SURPRISE, ANGER,
SADNESS, and FEAR, we might consider it a kind of LOVE, perhaps akin
to "attraction" or "caring".
