Grammar

All words are equal and are considered binary predicates. It's not necesary for both arguments to be involved in semantics, but formally we count that everything is binary - each word can have a subject and an object.

A clause consists of a mandatory predicate word and from zero to two argument clauses. Text is a sequence of clauses.

The word consists of a root and three endings:

• ending of valence:
  • e - valency 0 (there are no argument clauses after the word)
  • a - valency 1 (there is one argument clause after the word)
  • o - valence 2 (there are two argument clauses after the word)
• ending of order:
  • Ø - arguments go in direct order (subject, object)
  • i - arguments go in reverse order (object, subject)
• ending of return value:
  • s - the predicate itself is returned
  • Ø - the first argument is returned
  • n - the second argument is returned
  • t - both arguments are returned

That's kinda all, folks.

Examples

The root 'grand' means 'subject is larger than object'.

The root 'hom' means 'subject is human'.

The root 'dom' means 'subject is home'.
