In Jbovlaste and the ma'oste, {vi} is described as follow:
• « location tense distance: here at ... ; at or a very short/tiny distance from ... »

That's somewhat contradictory, which can ve seen more clearly with "va" or "vu":
"near to ... ; there at ...; a medium/small distance from ..."
 "far from ... ; yonder at ... ; a long distance from ..."
"Here/there/yonder at ..." is obviously not the same as "a short/medium/long distance from ..."
In any case CLL dropped the "here/there/yonder at ..." version, and the BPFK has the magnitude version:

As I understand it, {vi} is a tag based on {sepli}; its argument is a sepli2, and not a sepli3.
Otherwise, {vi lo cmalu} would be somewhat redundant, don't you think so? :)

"vi lo cmalu" is somewhat redundant, but "vi lo centre be li ci" is not. :)
