Some questions on the delectible corpus

Saul, and anyone else who knows,

I feel some confusion still about a couple of terms in the Zvelebil
corpus which I have been unable to find a definition for: Retroflexed,
and Vibrant. I'll also reiterate the question Aunt Maggie asked: what the
heck does deictic mean?

I get a general impression of the meaning from those pre-fixes which
detail those "locational" indicators, but what range of items does
the word cover - what other deictic parts of speech exist?
