Experimental cmavo.

Built as a MAI, with a number prepended to ''bei'e''; placed as an evidential.

The number added to the front is the decibels of logarithmic Bayesian probability the speaker assigns to the word or phrase that the ''bei'e'' refers to. 0, ''nobei'e'', represents 50% confidence, higher numbers greater confidence, lower numbers lesser confidence, as according to E.T. Jaynes' standard description. 


||__ni'uci'ibei'e__|-oo|0%|1:oo|complete disbelief, paradox
__ni'upabei'e__|-1|44.3%|4:5| 
__ni'ubei'e__|<0|<50%|<1:1|less than even odds, less likely than so
__nobei'e__|0|50%|1:1|neither belief nor disbelief, agnosticism
__ma'ubei'e__|>0|>50%|>1:1|greater than even odds, more likely than not
__pabei'e__|1|55.7%|5:4|preponderance of the evidence
__rebei'e__|2|61.3%|3:2|

__ci'ibei'e__|oo|100%|oo:1|complete belief, tautology

Adding 10 decibels multiplies the odds by a factor of 10.
