Do we know how {nel} is used in a sentence?

Some of the glosses ("map onto") seem to favor to structure {B nel A.} ("A matches B."), while others (such as "pair up") seem to favor {nel A B je.} ("A and B match.").

There is also the possibility that it could be like {ghom}, where both syntaxes work; perhaps it depends on whether or not the components are equally important (i.e. "these two pieces go together") as opposed to one piece fitting into a larger whole (i.e. "this one piece fits in with the 367 pieces we've already laid out").

The words we received from Maltz for this year's qepHom were not sorted
by any system. I tried to arrange them by topics, which I will use in
the subject line, so the discussions about the words are also sorted.
