Who will discuss semantics primes if not us? Any forum you are aware of? I'm afraid they are discussed nowhere.
Guaspi? Any other conlang group?
Engelang is the best place. You might find only a couple of people interested in discussing semantic primitives from a conlanging perspective, but that'sstill the aptest place.
What is more, in this case I have a clear feeling that {.a'o} *is* a
prime. But probably it's only my philosophy.
A couple of people (xorxes? selpa'i?) have pointed out that hope is desideration when the desiderator does not know whether the desideratum is the case. So although hope is a cognitively and experientially salient mindstate, it is not primitive.
