Wouldn't "x1 is in the two ce'u-places of function x2" be more useful,
for lujvo making purposes?

Compositional up to a point, meaning "x1 kisses themself at locus x2",
right? We know it's not "mi sevzike lo ka ce'u ce'u ce'u cinba"
because of the semantics of "cinba". And if we wanted to create a
lujvo meaning "x1 is self-serving in action x2", would "selfu zei
sevzike" work, for similar reasons?

I find it hard to find an example where we would want a function with
other than 2 places in the x2 of sevzike to make a useful lujvo.
