A partial wordlist. I'm still not ready to do this properly, but I'll start.


ním ákulkót nát biggest diff from tp notes
li (introduces a verb phrase and asserts that it's being done by the subject) tok li
"S is done by something that also does O" tok li it can be used as a content word this way
"S is me (at/to O)" tok mi You still have to say li when you use mi as the subject. e.g. li li dòk as rather than mi toki
e (introduces an object of a verb just said) tok e e is not needed if you're using an immediate object.
è "S happens to O" tok e it can be used as a content word
dòk "S says O" tok toki
"S does this to O", "S is this to O" tok ni
