I do not know. I have not worked that out yet (it is a rather general
problem wherein concepts (especially types) are names after people). I
would love for a word like «pe» that would always work on selbri. (I
might be tired- it could be obvious).

If there is no solution already, I propose a single GOI modifier that
allows a GOI construct to attach to a selbri with essentially the same
meaning and operation as the GOI would without the modifier and attached
to a sumti. It would be an elegant solutions and would save cmavo space

why not a brivla?

There is already the proposed po'oi.

That is a clause attacher, which is similar. But, to my understanding,
that is more like «mi remna no'oi ke'a banli tcini» or "entropi po'oi la
.boltsman. fakfi'i ke'a», which works but is wordier and
conceptually/ideologically more troublesome than I want (even in this
relatively simple situation). I was thinking «entropi CVV'VV pe la
.boltsman.»

doi gleki, does the example illustrate my idea well enough to answer the
question about why I would prefer a cmavo? I think that it is more
versatile (it can accommodate the differences between «pe», «po»,
«po'e», «ne», and possibly other words more easily). A brivla might
work and might even deserve creation, but a cmavo seems more natural,
effective, and utile to me.

I have gone ahead and made «foi'e» for this purpose. If you have any
suggestions or commentary/critique, feel free to bring them up. If you
dislike it, downvote it (but I do think that it is generally helpful to
have around as a functionality). If you have alternative solutions, feel
free to propose them. :)
