Creation and Usage Notes

This verb's a bit irregular, in that in the positive, it makes no distinction between the present and past subjunctive. This was an oversight in creating the verb, since I was creating it for one line that, I think, didn't end up getting used (they wanted several alternates). I figured if I was creating a pro-verb, it'd better be short, so I made it short. Did not consider what havoc that would wreak on the latter rows of the paradigm. So be it.
