        Word: xe'au [jbovlaste]
        Type: experimental cmavo (YOU RISK BEING MISUNDERSTOOD IF YOU USE THIS WORD)
  Gloss Word: mekso clausal referent bracket initializer
     selma'o: XEhAU
  Definition: mekso clausal referent bracket initializer
       Notes: Works with words of selma'o NOIhA. Within a mekso expression,
       any sequence of words/any subexpression between this word and
       the (immediate/very) next unmatched member of selma'o NOIhA are
       consolidated into (one whole and indivisible (for the sake of
       the clause) entity which acts as reference of the clause
       introduced by the same member of NOIhA, thus overriding the
       default attachment of NOIhA cmavo to the word immediately
       preceding them in a mekso expression. A member of NOIhA is
       considered "unmatched" if and only if the number of intervening
       additional uses of this word is less than or equal to the
       number of members of NOIhA uttered after the usage of this word
       being considered. The bracketed expression is considered to be
       a whole and single unit that can only be referenced together
       and in its single entirety; the bracketed expression is
       considered to be formal and remains unevaluated for the
       purposes of the reference/clause- thus, any reference to its
       evaluated result must be made by modifying ke'a. See also:
