So much so, that like Muke, I'm going to post piecemeal.  The problem is not

One can rungarona an object, but one _vele/kota akarona_ 'give/say blessing'
to a person.

(to formally curse might differ only with the object in the acc _nin_ ,
implying a change of state or physical affect, broadly speaking)

More to come, though perhaps in a while; I'm going away for a week starting
Tuesday (50th Old School reunion-- should be
interesting/amusing/depressing?).
