S710 (MAP-001-C) mi ne ra-no-fe-vo mi ne ranofevo Narcissism: self as object of ra-no-fe-vo predication; minimal grandiosity form
S711 (MAP-001-D) wi {la-mi ra-be}, la-mi ka-si-de lo ze wi {lami rabe}, lami kaside loze First wi {} with explicit self-goal; ka-si-de lo [patient] transitive
S712 (MAP-001-E) go {fa-no}, la-mi ka-no-su lo ze go {fano}, lami kanosu loze First agentless-state go {} premise (fa-no); ka-no-su compositional first use
S713 (MAP-001-F) mi ne ra-no-fe-vo ; wi {la-mi ra-be}, la-mi ka-si-de ; go {fa-no}, la-mi ka-no-su mi ne ranofevo; wi {lami rabe}, lami kaside; go {fano}, lami kanosu First triple ; chain across three clause types (ne / wi{} / go{})

New vocabulary: W225 ra-su-li (sovereign/ruler/prince). Compositional first uses: ka-no-su (deliberate structureless action); mi ne ra-no-fe-vo (self-grandiosity predication); ka-si-de lo [patient] (transitive deception with patient). Key structural findings: nu-be comparison on abstract political quality; la-X si [Q] lo [Z] as appearance predication (si = outward signal = apparent face); wi {} purpose-frame with self-directed goal; go {} with impersonal state premise; triple ; chain mixing clause types.
