Béu : Discarded Stuff
..... Correlatives
I GOT RID OF THE CORRELATIVE SPECIAL SYMBOLS ... TO CLEVER BY HALF
..
uda | everywhere | uku | always | ubu | everybody | ufan | everything |
juda | nowhere | juku | never | jubu | nobody | jufan | nothing |
ida | anywhere | iku | anytime | ibu | anybody | ifan | anything |
eda | somewhere | eku | sometime | ebu | somebody | efan | something |
The above 16 correlatives all have a special symbols (ignore the blue and red squares).
If you wants to make plural any word from the last two rows, you must revert to the nearest generic noun available and build up a NP in the normal way..
ida | anywhere | iku | anytime | ibu | anybody | ifan | anything |
nò dà ín | any places | nò kyù ín | any times | abua ín | any people | fanyoi ín | any things |
eda | somewhere | eku | sometime | ebu | somebody | efan | something |
nò dà èn | some places | nò kyù èn | some times | abua èn | some people | fanyoi èn | some things |
A further 3 of these special symbols are shown below ....
..
..
The short-hand forms are always used.
..
(Note to self : resolve the stuff below)
The columns are related to the words ... dàn = place ... kyùs = time/occasion ... glabu = person ... fanyo = thing
ubu can mean "each person" and "all the people". If they act together uwe can be added. If they act individually bajawe can be added.

..... Some anaphora rubbish
WELL I MIGHT GET A PARTICLE OR TWO FROM THE BELOW ... SO ???
..
ò is used to represent an person, mentioned before, and still current in everybody's mind.
ʃì is used to represent an object, mentioned before, and still current in everybody's mind.
só is used to represent an scenario, mentioned before, and still current in everybody's mind.
The above would be used in such sentences as ... "She acquiesced to return to Crosby's hotel room ... which was a very bad idea".
..
Four (five with nai.as ?) other particles also take -as. They are ...
lau.as | to that degree, as much as .... will not |
kai.as | thus, so, in that way |
sai.as | for that reason |
English uses that for anaphora in the above examples.
All these words are overwhelmingly/always ? utterance final.
..
..
..... Old morning/afternoon
..
falaja = afternoon : falajas = in the afternoon/every afternoon .... (jé) falaja = in the afternoon ......
yildos = morning : yildozas = in the morning/every morning ....... (jé) falaja = in the afternoon .......
