- Summary: re'u is semantically related to the ZAhO series, in that it specifies a phase of the event. (This discussion is suggestive of calling re'u an aspect, and not a tense.)

- Summary: za'u re'u means "not for the first time", so it could be used for some senses of "again".

General Section Issues
By convention, tagged sumti without quantification (the new definition of lo dispenses with the notion of implicit quantification) are taken to refer to single instances. E.g. mu roi lo cacra is taken to mean "five times per hour".
The meaning of tagged sumti with ROI, previously undescribed, has been explicitly laid out.
