{| border=1
  |align=center| '''bòi <sup>*</sup>
  |align=center| good
  |align=center| '''boizora'''
  |align=center| she is healthy
  |align=center| '''bòis'''
  |align=center| to be healthy/health

  |align=center| '''pàus''' 
  |align=center| to be bored/boredom
  |}
 
<sup>*</sup> Note that the adverb version of this word is slightly irregular. Instead of '''boiwe''' it is '''bowe'''. People often shout this when impressed with some athletic feat or sentiment voiced ... '''bowe bowe''' => well done => bravo bravo
 
Also instead of '''keuwe''' we have '''kewe'''. People often shout '''kewe kewe kewe''' if they are unimpressed with some athletic feat or disagree with a sentiment expressed. Equivalent to "Booo boo".
 
<sup>**</sup>In a non-monetary sense. If applied to food it means many flavours and/or textures. If applied to music it means there is polyphony. If applied to physical design it means baroque.

The top 4 adjectives in the table above are actually irregular comparatives.
 
The standard method for forming the comparative and superlative is ...  '''ái''' = white : '''aige''' = whiter : '''aimo''' = whitest
 
..
 
However not quite all antonyms fall into the above pattern. For example ...
'''loŋga''' = tall, '''tìa''' = short
 
'''wazbia''' = far, '''mùa''' = near  ... '''wazbo''' = distance, '''wazbai''' = about 3,680 mtr (the unit of distance)
 
..
 
=== ... Antonym phonetic correspondence===
 
..
 
In the above lists, it can be seen that each pair of adjectives have pretty much the exact opposite meaning from each other. However in '''béu''' there is ALSO a relationship between the sounds that make up these words. 
 
In fact every element of a word is a mirror image (about the L-A axis in the chart below) of the corresponding element in the word with the opposite meaning.

Note ... The original idea of having a regular correspondence between the two poles of a antonym pair came from an earlier idea for the script. In this early script, the first 8 consonants had the same shape as the last 8 consonants but turned 180˚. And in actual fact the two poles of a antonym pair mapped into each other under a 180˚ turn.

An adjectives is called '''moizana''' in '''béu''' .... NO NO NO
 
'''moizu''' = attribute, characteristic, feature
 
And following the way '''béu''' works, if there is an action that can be associated with noun (in any way at all), that noun can be co-opted to work as an verb.
 
Hence '''moizori''' = he/she described, he/she characterized, he/she specified ... '''moizus''' = the noun corresponding to the verb on the left
 
'''moizo''' = a specification, a characteristic asked for ... '''moizoi''' = specifications ... '''moizana''' = things that describe, things that specify
 
'''nandau moizana''' = an adjective, but of course, especially in books about grammar, this is truncated to simply '''moizana'''
 
..
 
== ..... The Way ==
 
..
 
"béu" specifies certain "best practices" for many many aspects of life. These "best practices" encompass many varied aspects of life.
 
For example the manner in which the 5 yearly festivals should be celebrated, what screw shapes and sizes should be used, how a man should treat his wife and a woman her husband, the periods of fasting and dietary restrictions that each individual should undertake.
 
These are just some examples of these "best practices". Actually each of these "best practices" are given a level of importance. There are 3 of these levels ... "recommended", "highly recommended" and "an absolute must".
 
These "best practices" are set out in various books. Theses books are held to be "canonical" or holy. However these writings are not set in stone, and there are mechanisms where by these books are updated and also new books can be added to the "special books".
 
Some people consider these "special books" to constitute a religion that has no god. However other people follow these "best practices" as just "cool things to do" and fit them in to their lives under another over-reaching belief system, such as Christianity or Islam (in much the same way that the early Buddhist adherent were free either to forget the old hindu gods or to continue to venerate them).
 
At the centre of this body of work defining the  "best practices" there are 3 important concepts.
 
1) '''angwa''' The closest translation is "harmony"
 
When used in relation to motion it can be translated as "grace"
When used in relation to design it can be translated as "elegance"
When used in relation to text it can be translated as "poetry"
 
The adjective corresponding to '''angwa''' is '''angwai'''
 
'''angwa''' is considered getting the right balance between "order" and "chaos"
 
2) '''honda'''  This can be translated as "order"
 
3)  '''aska'''  This can be translated as "chaos"
 
I suppose  the above 2 concepts can be considered the Yin and Yang of "béu"
 
However the secondary concepts that are associated with Yin and Yang, for the most part, do not fit into the '''honda'''/'''aska''' dichotomy.
 
Just for ease of reference I have listed the secondary concept associated with Yin and Yang below.
 
 
{| border=1
  |align=center| YIN
  |align=center| YANG
  |-
  |align=center| femininity
  |align=center| masculinity
  |-
  |align=center| soft
  |align=center| hard
  |-
  |align=center| yielding
  |align=center| solid
  |-
  |align=center| passive
  |align=center| aggressive or active
  |-
  |align=center| fast
  |align=center| slow
  |-
  |align=center| the moon
  |align=center| the sun
  |-
  |align=center| black
  |align=center| white
  |-
  |align=center| cold
  |align=center| hot
  |-
  |align=center| wet
  |align=center| dry
  |-
  |align=center| water
  |align=center| fire
  |-
  |align=center| nighttime
  |align=center| daytime
  |-
  |align=center| the earth
  |align=center| the sky
  |-
  |align=center| diffuse
  |align=center| focused
  |}
 
 
However "order" and "chaos" are associated with other concepts. They have each 2 "under-concepts" ...
 
'''honda''' is associated with the colour "sky blue" '''suna''' and "tranquility"
 
'''aska''' is associated with the colour "orange" '''nela''' and "activity"
 
And each under-concept is associated with one under-under-concept
 
And the under.concepts, have in turn, underconcepts of their own ...
 
sky blue => the sky
 
orange => the sun
 
tranquility => dead
 
activity => alive
 
As well as no associations (for the most part) with the concepts linked to Yin and Yang ... also there is strictly no association with
 
good/bad, truth/falsehood, right/wrong, north/south, beauty/uglyness, positive/negative, right/left ... etc etc etc
 
-----
 
Minor points pertaining to '''honda''' and '''aska'''
 
-----
The "béu.symbol" is a orange disk with a sky blue background
(the "béu.symbol" has both a simple and a complex representation)
 
This imagery continues into the way that machines are marked ...
 
To show that a machine is working, an orange disc is illuminated
To show that a machine is switched off, a sky blue square is illuminated
 
The button to switch a machine on, is an orange disk with a black ring on it
The button to switch a machine off, is a sky blue square with a black ring on it
 
( Of course the functions of indication and switching are often combined in one button )
 
For rocker switches ( such as light swithes ) the top part is square and you push this
to switch off ... the bottom part is semicircular and you push this to switch on
 
By the way "red" is associated with danger and "green" is associated with safety
So for example traffic lights are exactly the same ( including the orange in the middle )
 
By the way there are no other associations with colour ... you do not talk about a blackheart
or a yellow streak etc etc ... kids are not split up according to pink or blue clothes, etc etc
