pe'i - 'I opine'


pe'i
UI2

'I opine'

evidential: I opine (subjective claim)

Ha, as nobody commented on a next topic you now have to live with the things I came up (well, timos helped me with it, thanks).
This week I'll post some cmavo which might be useful in conversations. I think most attitudinals are known and I linked the grammar section in one of my previous posts. {pe'i} is a evidential, which can be found in the same chapter as attitudinals, but in subsection 11 (see here: Chapter 11, Subsection 13).
