Okay, I like 'hale' and 'pohale'.  Putting them in the dictionary.

Um.... I wasn't clear.  "chalepon" means "difficult", not easy.
(At least I find bananas slightly easier to eat than fish.)

If no reversal is needed, why not back up and take the root
for either "difficult" or "easy" from a more widely spoken
language than Greek, like your first try, "peni"?
Ah, good. Following the Eo principle that the more positive form is the base, I coin 'zili' , as an anagram from English 'easily', more or less, making 'pozili' difficult. 

I just came across 'Universal' at

Seems some Tceqli ideas, particularly reversals, were thought up way back.
