The main sentence structure (for 0-4) is:

  • màsun-: singular demonstrative prefix ("this") or mssùran-: plural demonstrative prefix ("these")
  • tsólukoi: person (noble noun) or tsóluyal: persons (plural noun)
  • trashóm: to know how to do something

  • 3: (can read and write fluently...) dhu-, "to act gracefully"
  • 4: (can read and write at a near-native level...) kho-, "to act nobly"

The N (read and write at a native level...) sentence structure is:

  • màsun-: singular demonstrative prefix ("this")
  • tsólu-: person (stem) or mssùran-: plural demonstrative prefix ("these")
  • -mra-: possessive infix
  • -koi: noble noun suffix or -yal: plural noun suffix
  • parshélin: first
  • daritsánikh: language
