And while we're at it,
can we get rid of selma'o? They are very misleading. the place structure of
selma'o is  x2 is the grammatical class containing particle x1  - meaning
that by calling them both UI we put xu and .ui in the same grammar class.
they play extremely different roles. .ui expresses a feeling. xu makes
questions. Sounds the same to me!


Same GRAMMATICAL class (occur anywhere, absorbed by what goes before), not same semantic class or same fucntional class (there are some -- fairly unclear -- subdivisions of some selmaho to deal with the latter). --part1_110.84aa562.29229c89_boundary--
