maymavibe

stefo,
"maymavibe" can't be a valid word.  "vibe" is a (modal) disjunct that takes one argument, a clause.  saying "mavibe" asserts that the probability of the preceding clause is "vibe", while at the same time using "ma-" to suppress expressing it since it is known from context.
the same is true of "myavibe", etc.

the "ma-" on "mavibenza" (F-s [-P]) means the first argument (patient) of "vibenza" (P/F-s) is suppressed.  same function, different result.
