Qihep dialogues

Main article: Qihep

Here there are some dialogues in Qihep, listed according to an increasing difficulty, with some explanations.

The dialogues are shown in their transcribed form. Proper names and foreign names are capitalized (Qīxēp), and foreign names are written in the educational syllabicated transcription, i.e. with the compounding syllable shown separated by a dot (∙) showing the constituent syllables (So∙fro∙nis), since it can be difficult to recognize which is the proper syllable used. Also, only for clarity's sake, punctuation marks are left as in English, even if their used would be strictly different in Qihep.
