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 replaced by {va'ei**}; difference is that {PAva'e} acts as a selbri, while {PAva'ei} acts as a sumtcita (with tagged sumti indicating the scale or subjective frame of reference)

Description NAhE NAI/CAI PAva'e selbri
polar negator to'e ne'e** ni'uva'e dukti
midpoint negator no'e cu'i ? ?
denial negator na'e nai ? natfe
scalar abator rei'e* ru'e so'uva'e milxe
scalar normative noi'e* na'oi** no'ova'e cnano
scalar intensifier sai'e* sai so'iva'e mutce
strong scalar intensifier cai'e* cai so'ai* va'e tcetce

Note that though attitudinals use NAI/CAI as well, they do not follow this system, but have their own defined scales.
