ale is everything. this can be either everything ever or a smaller subset of everything. If you modify ale with another word, it is limited to objects that have that word's quality, such as "ale loje" for "all things red," "ale lipu" for "all things related to books," or "ale pali" for "all things related to working." this is often similar to the reverse, but not exactly the same. for example, "loje ale" is all reds, not all things red, "lipu ale" is all books, and would not talk about a printing press or reading glasses, and "pali ale" would be something like all jobs or activities, and wouldn't talk about a hammer or a cheesecloth.

commentary
"ali" és una alternativa a "ale", creada en una enquesta el 2002 amb l'objectiu d'evitar la confusió amb "ala". Tanmateix, l'ús d'"ale" segueix sent més comú que "ali". La majoria de parlants diuen que no entenen el significat de "abundant, nombrós", com a mínim fora de context. "20, 120" eren significats no-pu en ús a la comunitat prèviament a més de "100", però gairebé no s'usen avui en dia.
