|Firo-| "exist, 'there be'". It seems that I translated "there are"
in the conlang relay as |mo-|, so either I'm just too mentally
inflexible to be consequent, or the colloquial usage of Obrenje
dislikes the formal-sounding |firo-|. =P

That's what we have the liquid aspect for. It's a verb inflection.

That's just a special case of 2.
