is the hedge. commits you to believing, puts your opinion on record, and merely takes something as likely until better information turns up. It takes a clause in the ordinary way, and it also allows the compact pattern , where the adjective describes the object directly. Supozo is the assumption, e means presumably, and both turn up wherever Esperanto writers are being careful about what they can actually claim.
