"nunklama" is an obvious 6-place brivla.

Ugh!

Could we not instead have an additional SE (with rafsi) that means:
  exchange 1st & last places
Used recursively, this would allow a different way of getting at
places beyond the 5th.
For example, if this new member of SE were "xehe", rafsi "xez",
then the lujvo for "x1 is the vehicle of an event of going"
would be "xeznunkla".

And.
