Okay, I'll make my non-linguistic try.

{rei = sei minde}
{reinai = sei to'e minde}

Now what is an antonym of command? Here: http://thesaurus.com/browse/command
we it says:

Main Entry:	command  [kuh-mand, -mahnd]  Show IPA
Part of Speech:	noun
...
Antonyms:	 contradiction, countermand, opposition, recall, reversal, revocation

So based on this, I may say {to'e minde} is "countermand".

So maybe:
rei: command - obedience optional - countermand

Thoughts? Comments?
