I may be stepping in a minefield here (and I don't want to reopen the
cusku controversy); but I understand a se cusku to mean anything that
can wear a shoe: a foot, a person, a dummy, a stilt. I regard
specification of sumti places (in a gi'uste) as diagnostic, not
definitive (except for certain categories such as abstractions and
sets).
