I didn't see your post here before writing my latest post on this
question. I basically agree with what you say above, even though in
my other post I present how Sadd tries to go in and analyze it
anyway. Nevertheless it seems more practical to me to learn 'seyya'
as just another vocab item (and perhaps note the similarity to
'jeyya')
