Then again, maybe its the list itself that makes my replies come out oddly.

Anyway...

Fuku would be a special case, since the cabbit is designed specifically to interface
with a Jurai tree.

However, in Tenchi OVA ep. 3, Aeka uses Tenchi-ken to communicate with Funaho - and
Tenchi is able to see and clearly understand the response even though he's not using
the key himself.  The logical inference is that the tree is capable of
communicating even with those who don't have the key.  Communication might be more
difficult, but it is possible.

This seems to be stretching for proof.  Are you THAT sure there is no other
way to
communicate with a royal tree?  Why couldn't Funaho do all that on her own?
==============================

Depends upon your definition of "communication", I guess.  Didn't Funaho-ki
make some kind of greetings to Seina when he fell into her pond in GXP ep
17?  Didn't Kiriko's Tree make greetings to Amane and Fuko?  I suspect basic
communications are possible, but full empathic communion requires that the
human symbiont use a key.
