It is?  Okay.  I'll check for that.  That's the sort of thing I understand
when it's first explained and then I forget.

Yep,  You're right.  It's 'onoi', right here.  That would make the ceqli
'konlibu', which is unfortunately long.  Perhaps a one-syllable replacement
for 'konli,' which has its form only as a mnemonic, anyway.  Maybe 'ki',
means 'if and only if,' and 'kibu'  means exclusive or.  Reactions?
