Comment #2: Re: Difference from “ge'e”?

It does not have the elliptical aspect to it. Also, "no particular
feeling" can sometimes be different from a very active sense of absence of
emotion. Sometimes, when one focuses, is undergoing clinical depression
(which does not mean only constant sadness), is meditating, etc., one has
purposefully or otherwise actively banished emotion. It is not "no
particular feeling", it is the 'feeling' of emotional absence entirely.

I personally object to ge'e being both elliptical and "no particular
feeling"; those are two distinct meanings to me. This word is related to
the latter and helps separate them out, but it does not solve that
problem.

I agree, in the current ma'oste ge'e seems to me to have two different
meanings.

ge'e is used both as a separate UI and as a UI-modifier acc. to CLL. For
the latter I once suggested using na'i instead.

That's because it's a relative of zo'e, which has the same kind of
duality.

What about usage examples where ne'au and ne'aunai are used?
Without them it'd be hard to start using this particle.
