==anu==
It remains my theory that [[anu]] is underspecified and so people hesitate to use it, which is not the same as saying that using it to form questions is controversial or non-standard. Otherwise it seems to me that the word doesn't have any use at all except in the fossilized form {{tok|anu seme}}. Perhaps this is so, but that would be as controversial to me as it would be to simply use it to form questions in the way it's occasionally used. --[[User:JPeton|JPeton]] ([[User talk:JPeton|talk]]) 18:15, 16 November 2023 (UTC)
:<blockquote>Otherwise it seems to me that the word doesn't have any use at all except in the fossilized form anu seme.</blockquote>I like using anu, and my own way of how anu works is pretty clear and anu finds uses outside of questions. So I think I'm misreading you, you're probably not saying "either anu can form questions or the only use of anu is with anu seme". Hmmm... The larger point is about people holding back? And therefore we can't actually make a good descriptive statement about anu? How would we find out if they're holding back? And how does that fall into weight in a language that to some extent asks users to hold back on unnecessary words?
