In short, they can go anywhere in the text, they modify the word or structure that they follow (so putting one after .i modifies the whole sentence, and that is where they are usually found), and there are attitudinal modifiers like "sai" (strong) and "cai" (intense) that modify attitudinals (or indeed any word that they follow). Ceqli attitudinals would be a good role for words beginning with a vowel. .VV and .VW could be included as pinvor forms for this purpose, and then there would be a 1-to-1 match with Lojban's .VV and .V'V attitudinals. For example, consider the ones starting with a: Lojban: .ai .au .a'a .a'e .a'i .a'o .a'u Ceqli: .aj .aw .ar .an .aq .al .am -- Rob Speer
