I think those match.
thinking location, which rules  out the arriving/dpearting/approaching/
receding definitions,
directly towards = in the same direction as
directly away from = ion the opposite direction of
zo'i nearer to = "nearer than" since nearer has an implicit comparison to
   another point.
ze'o farther from = beyond
Also the keywords "inward" implies "closer to in direct line of sight"
and outwards implies farther from looking directly away.

The cmavo list on the ftp site is probably the same one that I have here.
We need to add lines for a couple of cmavo thatr were added in the last
big debate a year ago, but I think there are no other changes.

I will be trying to work on a new upload of the gismu and cmavo lists, but
publishing the refgrammar is higheest priority right now.
