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.

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.

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.
