cmavo: cu'e (CUhE)
Proposed Definition
modal ? cu'e is a tense/modal question (meaning it takes the place of a fully-specified modal/tense). Specifically, it turns the entire bridi into a question, and requests that the listener provide a tense/modal as an answer. The tense/modal response fills the place where cu'e was in the original bridi and the resulting bridi is the answer offered to the question. To indicate that there is no value that could make that bridi true, use {unknown}. A more extreme rejection of the presuppositions or implicatures involved in a question is to reply with {unknown}.

Why aren't all of the PU je PU and PU-ZEhA entries in here? I think we're missing cajepu, baze'a, anything with ze'i/ze'u, etc. Do we even really need to include PU* in this list? -lindar
