Re: ciska bai tu'a zo bai



Art, I admire your clear expression of attitude regarding "ga'i".  But I
suspect that in trying to express individuality, or independence. that you
might prefer other attitudinals.  

e'e  competence
i'inai privacy
o'enai distance
se'a  self-sufficiency
se'i self-oriented

ga'i is meant to explicitly imply a ranking of self above those to whom one
is expressing in some external framework (e.g. social rank), rather than the
internal one that merely "promotes the individual".
