The verb cluster

The verb cluster is placed at the end of the sentence. Its core is the verb itself, which conveys the meaning of the action or the state.

Use of modal particles

Pos conveys an idea of ability, capability, that the subject knows how to do something, both an innate or a learnt capability.

  • Tȳn nat lā pos: He cannot write (for example, because the subject is too young, and still does not know how to write)

Kra conveys an idea of a momentaneous ability, something that the subject can do in this moment, not a forever real capability.

  • Tȳn nat lā kra sty: He cannot write (for example, the subject is too excited to write, too cold or too frightened, a momentaneous condition, but he knows how to write)
