Examples
?
How are you today?
bone, .
My mother is doing well, thank you.
e .
He was unwell the whole winter.
This is the how-are-you verb: ? is the standard greeting question, and the answer is bone or, on a bad day, e. Keep it apart from , which judges character rather than condition: means he is a good person, bone means he is doing fine. Note the adverb - you fare bone, not , because it describes the faring, not the person.
