I don't really know how to abreviate glosses in xlai, cause some of the morphemes aren't really a Thing in natlangs.

Alindréhesitate-2.SG.PRS.IMP oshekú...purpose-N.SG.DAT
(Consider...)

instead of...try...
EVIDENTIALEV
PARTICIPLEPCP(or PTCP if that amuses you)
HYPOTHESIZEDHYP(normally used for hypothetical mood, but on a noun it should be obvious)
FINITEFIN
PROXIMALPROX
MUTUALMUT


(Not sure about "positive affection"; kinda tricky.)

Let's try dis again.

quoting Yaali Annar:
ṣlııx̣ḳålcquality-EV.HYPolflebe.at-MDMAknååṛx̣eelxlåx̣place(abstract)-PROX.MUT-EV.AMBhlıarälxääḳbe.over/above-POS.AFF-FINhlååpolhthing-EV.EGfiëkxlebe.different-PCP

Is it possible to give a margin around each gloss box? So that the words won't fuse against each other.

Do you know tea? Coffee is made from the seeds of the coffee plant, which are roasted and ground. The powder is then steeped in hot water.

I do not know "tea". That does sound like how we would prepare herbal drinks, except the roasting and grinding.
