<quote>Another use for “ge'e” is to explicitly avoid expressing one’s feeling on a given scale; in this use, it functions like a member of selma'o CAI: “.iige'e” means roughly “I’m not telling whether I’m afraid or not.”</quote>

But it really seems like ge'e sees more use as a UI than as a CAI. Seems like ge'e should be the UI and we make up a new cmavo in CAI to mean "unspecific attitudinal scale point."

If ge'e belongs to UI
ii ge'e = I fear and i dont want to share my (probably other) feelings with you.
but if it belongs to CAI/NAI then
ii ge'e = I won't tell whether I {.ii}, {iinai} or {.iicu'i}

so it's important to define where {ge'e} belongs to.

That has to do with the semantics of ge'e, not with its syntax. Selma'o only determine the syntax of words. The syntax of UI and CAI is identical, so they should really be a single selma'o, possibly with subselma'o groupings based on semantics (as UI1, UI2, etc).

And BTW, UI are not always about feelings.
