How's this sound.  Take 'peni' from French 'penible' for difficult,
and reverse to 'pine' for easy?


They sound too much alike.  I always wondered given the source
languages, why not just use the Mandarin prefix <bu> for opposites. It 
would fit in very well with the rest of the Tceqli schema.
You are quite right. I get obsessed with reversibles, and I forget that they're not always that useful. I'll find a word for 'easy' and put a po to it.
