You can point toward the meaning with something like {peSaHchuqchu'} or {peQorghchuqchu'}. It's a stretch that only works if you consider "be excellent to" to be roughly equivalent to "care for" or "care about".<div><br></div><div>It's all a little touchy-feely for the language, but I'm not sure the language lacks scope to touch on this meaning.<br><div><br><div apple-content-edited="true">
