!! 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}. !!! Proposed Tag !!! See Also !!! Proposed Keywords * when !!! Usage Examples !!! Notes !!! Issues !! cmavo: nau (CUhE) !!! Proposed Definition A time tense, referring to current space/time absolutely. This tense is used to refer to the current time/space and ignores ki and any tenses used already.
