On occasion, members of selma'o COI has been combined with pei with the intended meaning of a "vocative question". For instance, "je'e pei" is used to mean "Did you understand that?" But, in accordance with the rules in CLL, the meaning can only be "I understand; how do you feel (about that)?".
This definition follows the CLL closely, and the former usage is judged to be in error.
None intended.
A new question cmavo for vocatives that reverses the vocative appropriately.
