*(Remember that it's not yet decided whether we will suffix aspect on verbs or tense particles —FH)
*(Or something else, like using adverbs for aspect. The first phase of that vote is going on now on the Grammar page. But I don't see a reason not to propose these affixes now and show examples of their use on the Sentences page. And maybe if we end up not having inflectional aspect, always marked on every verb, we can still have some specific derivational aspect suffixes (like e.g. English or French or Esperanto's "re-" prefix; that's derivational, not inflectional like aspect in Russian or Volapük).—JH)
**TODO move this discussion to [[Naeso/Grammar|Grammar]] page and add a vote rubric for it
*See the [[Naeso/Sentences|Sentences]] page to view proposed examples of how the aspect suffixes might be used and vote on them.
* Please do not move this vote to the "accepted words" section until we have decided on the corresponding issue on the [[Naeso/Grammar|grammar page]].
 
===instrumental preposition===
{{V|mym|date=2011-5-8|FH|y|BF|y}}
 
===across===
{{V|fao|date=2011-5-10|FH|y|BF|y}}
*across, through, anything that does not start or end there but is there sometime in the process.
 
===negative===
According to the [[Naeso/Grammar|grammar page]], this is a verb suffix.

===to go===
If you've grown attached to a certain word or phrase and want it included in the lex, but don't have the faintest idea about what you want it to mean, list it here. We'll consider this the ''grab bag'' — other people can look here for inspiration and develop words or phrases off of the ones here, or use them in their entirety.

*For Naeso I usually follow the ''let usage define meaning'' principle, but for a change I would like to precisely define this term as ''a path through the air which connects two points on solid ground'' (and possibly metaphorical equivalents). According to this definition, some stairs are bridges, too (e.g. [http://www.sixdifferentways.com/photos/spamalot-stairs.jpg these] are, but [http://finstone.fi/engl/natural_stone_products/images/natural_stone_outdoor_stairs.jpg these] aren't). —[[User:Fenhl|FH]]

{{V|go fast|date=2011-5-11|FH|y|BF|n}}
*In that case, how would we even say 'go fast', if, say, one were going on... a train?  'The train goes fast' would in this case = 'the train runs'.  You don't find that confusing?  - [[User:Bornfor|BF]]
*Something like this would be clear from the context. Trains can't run. —[[User:Fenhl|FH]]

*If we introduce another word like ''bam'' that means ''whether'', we could extend this word's meaning to "ask, whether". I know that this is very close to the English word, but we don't have to make everything different from it, right? —[[User:Fenhl|FH]]

*Postfix notation seems very out of place re: Naeso's VSO and head + modifier order.  Prefix notation could be interesting, but I am worried that it would be unclear when it affects something more than a pair of single words (two prepositional phrases, two clauses...).  I'm voting for infix conjunctions for now, but I might change my vote if someone proposes a good way to disambiguate prefix conjunctions with phrases or clauses. —[[User:Jim Henry|Jim Henry]] 10:12, 23 October 2010 (PDT)
*I don't know where to move this… —[[User:Fenhl|FH]]
*It probably makes no sense to vote yes for postfix but I like its Forthyness. —RJ
**If I remember correctly, this was the position of conjunctions relative to their head nouns, right?  I'd say that should go on the grammar page, with maybe a note on the dictionary page under each conjunction as well. --[[User:Jim Henry|Jim Henry]] 07:16, 26 August 2012 (PDT)
*Fenhl has proposed a sentence on the Sentences pages showing how a prefix "or" conjunction could be disambiguated in some cases with a subordinating/relativizer conjunction. —[[User:Jim Henry|Jim Henry]] 18:44, 23 October 2010 (PDT)
*I think prefix would work best with Naeso's existing syntax (VSO, preposition-noun-adjective, etc) and if we find that something is ambiguous, we could still introduce a feature to remove ambiguity. —[[User:Fenhl|FH]]
