Cmavo conflict: "vu'o"

[Logical Language Group <lojbab>]

The cmavo "vu'o" is currently used in two ways.  It was first assigned
as a member of UI in order to provide for attitudinal contours:  "vu'o"
indicates an emotion that is coming to be felt, "vu'ocu'i" one that is
continuing to be felt, and "vu'onai" one that is no longer being felt.
This usage made it into the drafts of the attitudinal paper available
at the FTP site, but not into the cmavo list there.

Later, "vu'o" was assigned again, this time in a grammatical role relating
to relative clauses, with its own selma'o VUhO.  This "vu'o" serves as a
flag which shows that the following relative clauses apply to the whole
preceding sumti (possibly including logical connectives) rather than just
the rightmost portion of it.

This conflict cannot be allowed to stand.  There has been essentially no
usage of either type of "vu'o", so changing one is not a big deal.
Since the second "vu'o" involves a grammar change as well as a cmavo-list
change, it makes most sense to change the first.  A logical candidate is
"bu'o", which is free and is very similar in form.
