- There is a gap between simple FAhA cmavo representing nothing but position, and ''mo'i'' representing that some arbitrary object in the relationship is moving, with nothing to express simple directions. Since ''fa'a'' in its most literal interpretation from the cmavo list (a position that is "toward" something) is entirely useless, it can be reused so that combining it with another FAhA means that the event is oriented "toward" that direction.<br /><br />Lojbab has proposed this, but using ''fa'a'a'' to be safe.<br /><br />''to'o'', which appears to be intended to be the opposite of ''fa'a'', can indicate that the event is oriented in the opposite direction.<br /><br />Actual orientations "toward" or "away from" another object can still be expressed with ''fa'azo'i'' for "toward", and ''fa'aze'o'' (which could imply that there is something else away from the object that the event is oriented toward) or ''to'ozo'i'' for "away".<br /><br />Examples:<br />*''mi fa'abe'a catlu'' = "I look to the north"<br />*''mi fa'ane'i klama'' = "I go inside"<br />*''ko catlu to'ozo'i le carmi gusni'' = "Look away from the bright light".<br /><br />This usage is far more useful than anything you can make with ''mo'i''. In "mi mo'ibe'a cadzu", am I walking north, or am I walking on ground that moves north (like a moving walkway)?<br /><br />Does the child walk leftward on the ice, or does the ice get walked on leftward under the child?<br />
