I just looked up how to use bu'o and it doesn't work like i'au at all.
I don't know if i'au would require a new one.

Provisionally moved it to UI6. i'au really defies classification, but what is currently in UI6 seems to as well, so perhaps it has a home there.

Maybe it could share a sub-selma'o with two more UI-cmavo for attitudinal scope modification; essentially specialized quotation marks, to explicitly arbitrarily define the scope of the UI-cmavo. I've not decided what words to allocate to it yet; they shall henceforth be provisionally represented by BAS (begin attitudinal scope) and EAS (end attitudinal scope). (A plain reading of bu'o's definition may appear to serve this purpose, hence my initial categorization of i'au in UI7, but its use in the CLL doesn't corroborate this; rather it means "This is how I'm starting to feel / continuing to feel / not feeling anymore".) Unlike i'au, I don't expect BAS/EAS to be used very often, as it is often unnatural to specify one's emotions so explicitly and with forethought. However it could be useful for invocations, manifestos, lectures, and monologues, where one may craft a long speech of the form "I hope for all these things: (BAS [a'o]) XXX, YYY, ZZZ. (EAS)". Additionally, since UI-cmavo aren't only used for emotions, it could also potentially be used for things like asking a complex question of the type "is all the following true?" using (BAS [xu] XXX YYY ZZZ EAS). To conserve cmavo space though, perhaps like bu'o, EAS can simply be BAS + nai.
