Kaltxì, ma smuk.  So... why is it that "nothing" is ke'u but "no one" is kawtu instead of *kepo?  And then, if "no one" uses -tu, then why for the love of Eywa is "everyone" frapo and not *fratu?  Ke- vs. kaw-, -tu vs. -po...  Am i missing something?

ketu = not-person

kawtu <- ke-awtu = not-one person


as for frapo not fratu, just a little inconsistency.
