akesi waso pi kon seli li toki ni. "mi soweli suli pi laso suli. o monsuto e mi."
One would expect (non-clinically depressed) dragons to have a healthy ego and consider themselves lovable animals.
Subjective nature aside, I think the fur vs. scales/hard shell devision seems to win out whether something is a soweli or akesi. Intestingly, with arthropods added to the akesi, there now seems to be a similar devision between akesi and pipi based on size.

akesi ni en pipi ni li lukin sama:
akesi
pipi

pakala! sijelo mi li jo e akesi!
