- CV(n)C(V)
- a pair of consonants have a broad meaning, the vowel gives and aspect, or a relation to the central meaning. We call it the aspect vowel.
- the meaning are the same of the role markers
- essencially, each word is actually a small, incomplete sentence
- the role marker is optional when its the same of the aspect vowel
- you can add -n after the vowel to make negation
- You can add a second vowel, called the relation vowel
- o, u, and a are all this/that, related to the speaker, the listener or neither of them respectively
- e is same/similar, and i is other/different
- you can use these vowels alone with role markers in sentences
- they collapse if the vowel is the same
