ku'i modal: in contrast to...

notes

Differs from ku'i in that it allows for more grammatical structures than UI. In particular, "se ku'ai" indicates that what has just been said is an exception to a general rule that is about to be stated, a syntax impossible with UI and roughly corresponding to the English "A (in contrast to B)" or "A, rather than B". Also corresponds to the dualism between mu'a (in UI) and mu'u (in BAI). See also: ku'i.
