There are three ways that a Y/N question can be asked.

3) A question can also be posed by using a exp.rising tone towards the end of the sentence.        NEED A SYMBOL ??


1) HA opens the sentence.
   
   
Nouns which are both touchable and countable usually have a JISTO head event or first span is  double-state. Therefore we have 100,856 possible "words" for nouns.
2) KA closes the sentence.
 
Verbs must have a double.ton as a "mid-sound". Hence we have 103,320
  possible "words" for verbs. However this should be divided by 5 or 6
because in the active form, the final vowel can not be expressed
 
Adjectives have the form S  A    G    X. There are 14,080 possible "words' available.
 
Note that quite a number of words (66,360) can be both nouns and verbs. Maybe we should
give these ones like MAN, TO MAN : BICYCLE, TO GO BY BICYCLE : ...  


3) A question can also be posed by giving a rising intonation at the end of the sentence (the same as English). There must be a special question mark when you use this method. Seuna does have a special mark, it is only used when you pose a question using method 3,      if you pose a question using methods 1 or 2, the special mark is not used.

Asking a question

There are three ways that a Y/N question can be asked.

1) HA opens the sentence.

2) KA closes the sentence.

3) A question can also be posed by giving a rising intonation at the end of the sentence (the same as English). There must be a special question mark when you use this method. Seuna does have a special mark, it is only used when you pose a question using method 3, if you pose a question using methods 1 or 2, the special mark is not used.
