zipcpi: scalar modifiers

This table describes a plan to have a system of scalar modifiers for selbri and sumtcita, to replace or provide an alternative for common usage of {mutce}, {milxe} etc. tanru.

Experimental cmavo added by me has a single asterisk; experimental cmavo added by others has a double asterisk.

Note: {va'e} may also be substituted with {va'ei**}; difference is that {PAva'e} acts as a selbri, while {PAva'ei} acts as a tense/sumtcita (tagged sumti, if present, indicates the scale or subjective frame of reference)

Description	Gloss	NAhE	NAI/CAI	PAva'e	selbri
polar negator	"opposite of"	to'e	ne'e**	ni'uva'e	dukti
denial negator	"not" / "other than"	na'e	nai	nova'e?	natfe
liminal negator	"not really X, not really to'e-X"	no'e	cu'i	nova'e?	?
scalar affirmative	"is" / "indeed is"	je'a	ja'ai	su'ova'e / ma'uva'e	jetnu
scalar abator	"slightly" / "not very"	rei'e*	ru'e	so'uva'e	milxe
scalar normative	"normally"	noi'e*	na'oi**	no'ova'e	cnano
scalar intensifier	"very"	sai'e*	sai	so'iva'e	mutce
strong scalar intensifier	"extremely"	cai'e*	cai	so'isaiva'e / so'icaiva'e	tcetce
scalar question	"how very?"	pai'e*‡	pei'a*†	xova'e	-

‡ Already defined as {je'ai}; but somehow it doesn't seem like a question-word to me.

† Initially suggested by la ctefa'o as an attitudinal intensity question, but not added. May also be used for that purpose.

Note that though attitudinals use NAI/CAI as well, they do not follow this system, but have their own defined scales; in particular, {nai} tends to more often act as a polar negator rather than a denial negator with them.
