2 years ago an obvious remark is that this proposal does not involve getting rid of the complex predicates we already have for these concepts!

The following words have been reviewed and approved by Dr. Holmes for submission here. Dr. Holmes and I both agree that each of these concepts deserve to have a root in their own right, rather than relying on compounds. -cau- and -vac- are proposed as djifoa for {ctaru} and {vanci}; each of these are free, and would allow the formation of many useful compounds.
Note: The case tags used for time words in the existing lexicon are inconsistent. For instance, {cimra} is B-C, while {dotra} is V-C. For this reason, I would propose that the standard case tags for these words should be B-F, as in {natli}: beu (parts) + foa (wholes).
