la xod cusku di'e
I have a little problem with ja'a + CAI. It emulates the UI, where a ui covers .5 the truth scale and uinai covers the other. But it's the same ui; here with ja'a and na it's a different cmavo and no "-nai".
ja'anai = na nanai = ja'a ja'acu'i = nacu'i (= sort of) There are two cmavo for convenience, but it is the same scale covered by both.
Another issue with ja'a + CAI is that CAI can already float wherever it likes in a bridi, and could modify the ".i" as well, so including ja'a in there is totally redundant.
{ja'a} is necessary so that we know we're talking about truth values.
There is no free floating {cai}, it always attaches to the previous
word. Attaching to {i} might be similar to attaching to {ja'a}, but
it need not be.
