This is at least an expressible "emotion" and
makes for a reasonably clear set of markers, but,
because the positive is in the middle, I don't
suppose it would be used in Lojban. Indeed,
assuming that is what is meant, it seems to have
been split into two separate ones, neither of
which is at all clear (nor expressible, for that matter).
