Proposed Keywords * surrounding * annular * around !!! Usage Examples ;mi mutce le ka tatpi le nu ru'u limna:I am very tired of swimming about here. ;.a bu tengau le birka ru'u le gumri:Alice stretched her arms around the mushroom. !!! Notes Does this work like sruri, which has "near total containment in some dimension(s)" in the notes? The ru'u limna example seems like it doesn't work, because Alice herself is not wrapped around anything. Is this word actually ''useful'' for much of anything. * For usages like ru'u limna to be retained, ru'u should mean something like "spanning around a point". The event of Alice swimming occupies an area around a certain point and the event stays within the boundaries of this area. (This would make it somewhat similar to vi'u). Another option would be to say that {ru'u} doesn't describe a full circle, but rather an arch of any length which is defined by the directional vector of the selbri. --((selpa'i)) {BOX} {BOX()} !! cmavo: ti'a (FAhA2) !!!

General Section Issues Most of these make no sense in front of a selbri with "mi" in the bridi, because you can't be (for example) above yourself, so "mi ga'u zutse" doesn't seem possible. * They make perfect sense. The implicitly tagged sumti is understood from context. "mi ga'u zutse" expands to "lo nu mi zutse cu gapru (zo'e)". This zo'e is usually understood to be the position of the speaker, just like the default for "pu" is the time of the speaker. However, here it very clearly means "I sit above (something)." --((selpa'i)) Does "ri'u do" mean "on your right", or "rightwards of you relative to the speaker"? Whichever it means, we need a way to say the other without leaving tenses. * I would think {ri'u do} would be the latter, while {do ri'u} is the former. - .aionys. ! Poll {POLL(pollId=>39)}{POLL}
