ui'ei UIhEI experimental cmavo

Convert arbitrary bridi to UI with the grammar of {sei}.

Converts bridis to UI; shorthand for «.ui ma'o'ei». For a grammar closer to sumti rather than SEI, see also ki'ai, which uses COI2 rather than SEI, which can convert cmevla, selbri, and zoi quotes; this permits the shorter version of e.g. «ki'ai .xm. mi pensi» rather than e.g. «.ui'ei me la .xm. mi pensi». For conversion to selbri, see tai'i. See also ju'a'ei for nonce evidentials (e.g. «ju'a'ei simlu» for «si'au» (‘it seems …’)). Note that after SEI, selbri auto-terminate with se'u once a sumti is found, unless it is attached with be or bei (or bei'i); however, bei'e may be used after a SEI cmavo to still apply the following sumti, with effectively automatic bei'i application. For converting bridi to arbitrary existing grammar, see ma'o'ei.

joi'ei
generic / nonce «joi»-type constructor with the grammar of «joi'ei SEI»; «joi mu'a'ei».
la'e'ei
generic / nonce «la'e»-type constructor with the grammar of «la'e SEI»; «la'e mu'a'ei».
lo'ei
generic / nonce «lo»-type constructor with the grammar of «lo SEI»; «lo mu'a'ei».
ma'o'ei (exp!)
With meaning / function. Take the cmavo preceding as the selma'o, and convert the arbitrary bridi following it to give it meaning or function.
