   Both of the above schemes have the shortcoming that a reference point
   cannot be expressed. The following modification makes this possible:

         | mod_head_490 NEhE_nnn selbri_130 tail_terms_71 gap_450
         | mod_head_490 NEhE_nnn selbri_130 tail_terms_71
               TEhI_mmm sumti_90

   {ne'e} and {te'i} would fit the already assigned cmavo quite well
   as {ne'a} = 'next to', {ne'i} = 'within' and {te'e} = 'bordering'
