The "towards extreme/direction X" is seriously the worst idea
*ever*, for the simple reason that you can get *exactly the same
effect* by throwing a {to'e} in the {ka} place.  It's an extra place
to memorize, and it makes understanding the meaning of the word
*very* confusing.

"mutce" doesn't actually mean "very", it means "very, or very not,
or very orthogonal to, or, well, just about anything really".

mi mutce lo ka nelci lo grute kei lo ka milxe

And that's not even me *trying* to do messed up shit with that
place.

All of this would be acceptable, except that it keeps *infecting*
*lujvo*.

nelrai - x1 most loves x2... or most hates them, or is basically
indifferent, or thinks they are blue, or who knows?

nolrai - x1 is a king ... or whatever the opposite of a king is?, or
who knows?

These places must die!
