BUTTON

(Noun)

Like on a shirt or jacket.

pe'i {batke} ranges over both button on shirts and keyboards, just like it's English counterpart.

I think this is a mistake. Shirt buttons fasten, keyboard and screen buttons don't. 

stevo

BUTTON

(Verb)

Like what you do with a button.

Something like {batke}+{catke}/{lasna}?

It seems like this *really* should have been base-game content.

What were the developers thinking? Seriously...

(Also, food for thought, why does something begin passively and end agentively? cfari / sisti)

But then you might be able to easily construct lujvos to get this distinction:

Passively: {cfari} {tolcfa} 

Agentively: {sisti} {tolsti}
