"bute", "-zusto", et al.

Rick,
1) K-E has several words based on "bute", but no entry for the basic word itself.  Is there going to be one?

2) We have "zusto" - 'the military, "cizusto" - 'the air force', and "nazusto" - 'the navy', but what is the word for the army (ground forces)?  "Bunazusto" seems the obvious choice, but it's relatively long, and 'army' is a more basic term than either 'air force' or 'navy'.

3) Normally in the lessons the "bu-" antonyms come directly after the basic term, but

       3a) in Lesson 8, "butansa" does not immediately follow "tansa", and

       3b) in Lesson 16, "bumeswa" comes several words before "meswa".

4) Usually when you make a change based on something I've mentioned, the change does not come as a surprise to me, but there have been a couple of times now when the change you make is 90 degrees from anything I might have thought of.  You are keeping me on my toes!
