How you know

Channels

Pick one channel. LIVE and MEMORY place the event in time; the others do not.

Channel	Kind	Ageben	English	Stage
LIVE	direct	thugem	live / from the scene	B
MEMORY	direct	thevum	from memory	B
PATTERN	reasoned	thubom	from the pattern	I
CLUES	reasoned	theyom	from the clues / apparently	I
DEDUCED	reasoned	thanam	it follows / by deduction	I
REPORTED	received	thebam	so they say	I
INTUITION	internal	thabem	my gut says	I

Evidence strength

The ending grades evidence, not how sure you feel or how likely the event is: -l show, -m describe, -r gesture.

Channel	Graded on	-l show	-m describe	-r gesture	Stage
LIVE	clarity of view	thugel a clear view	thugem	thuger a glimpse	I
MEMORY	vividness	thevul a vivid memory	thevum	thevur a hazy memory	I
PATTERN	cases, consistency	thubol well established	thubom	thubor a few cases	I
CLUES	strength of clues	theyol strong clues	theyom	theyor a weak clue	I
DEDUCED	how far you checked the steps	thanal every step shown	thanam	thanar seems to follow	I
REPORTED	reliability of source	thebal a reliable source	thebam	thebar a rumor	I
INTUITION	how well you can state it	thabel a strong sense	thabem	thaber a faint hunch	I

Adding to a channel

Job	Example	English	Stage
Name the source: a noun in a bl- word right after	zalazun thebam blazozon vudurul.	Alazun left, according to Azozon.	I
A device as the source	zalazun thugem blugewel vezuvel.	Alazun is asleep, going by the camera.	I
A source you don't name: blumen, then say whether you know who	zalazun thebam blumen vudurul. zuwen vanam derl zar.	Alazun left, according to someone. I know who.	I
How many hands: th#N after a channel	zalazun thebam throgel vudurul.	Alazun left, so they say, third-hand.	I
A forecast: channel + blral	thubom blral verulal.	It will rain, going by the pattern.	I
A hunch about later	zalazun thaber blral vudurul.	Alazun will leave, a faint hunch.	I
A dated claim: signed time measure	zazozon thevum blagorum grugel vowurol.	I saw Azozon walk three hours ago.	A
Later, dated	zalazun thebam blagorum gragel vudurul.	I hear Alazun leaves in three hours.	A
Give the grounds: blarl, grounds in the next sentence	theyom thahum blarl	inferred, and it was caused	I

Offset	Sign	Stage
thevum MEMORY	- only	A
thugem LIVE	no offset	A
thubom PATTERN	- or +	A

After a channel, a bl- person or thing is the source; a time measure is the offset. blarl takes only CLUES, PATTERN, and DEDUCED.

You say	Clause after blarl is	Form	Stage
what made it happen	the cause	thahum blarl	I
what must hold for it	the condition	thohem blarl / thebem blarl / thehom blarl	I
how you know it happened	your grounds	theyom blarl / thubom blarl / thanam blarl	I

Deduction

What sits before blarl is what you assert: the channel alone asserts the premises; a pole between them asserts only the link. Join premises with xam.

You claim	Form	You assert	Stage
P, so Q	Q thanam blarl P	P and Q	I
Q follows from P	Q thanam thohem blarl P	only the link	I
P and Q come to the same thing	Q thanam thehom blarl P	only the link, both ways	I
P rules out Q	Q denied with vul, then thanam thohem blarl P	only that P and Q cannot both hold	I

Whose view

Join the name to a channel, MAY, or NOTIONAL: keep the word's last letter and write the name straight after it. The name keeps its own -n, which is never the seam.

Job	Example	English	Stage
Holder on a channel	zalazun theyomazozon vudurul.	I gather Azozon thinks Alazun left.	I
Holder on REPORTED	zalazun thebamazozon vudurul.	I hear Azozon thinks Alazun left.	I
Holder on MAY	zalazun thomamazozon vudurul.	Maybe Azozon thinks Alazun left.	I
Holder on NOTIONAL	zalazun theyumazozon vudurul.	Imagine it as Azozon sees it.	I
Strength before the name	zalazun theyolazozon vudurul.	Strong clues say Azozon thinks Alazun left.	I
Shared history: MEMORY with the interlocutors	zawan vebal hal thevumayan.	From what we both remember, you've never listened.	I

Keeping a channel

A channel you name is your frame, and later claims of yours keep it. See carrying a channel forward.

It keeps the frame	It ends the frame
your later statements	a new channel or a holder · NOTIONAL
a new topic, sentence linkers, asides	yal written out
MAY · MIRATIVE	xavedam by the way, or a goodbye

A question, command, request, or prohibition does not take the frame, and does not end it.

Could be, imagined, surprising, still in effect

MAY, NOTIONAL, and MIRATIVE are /th/ words; RESIDUE and FORMER are /h/ words that cover the whole clause. MAY is could be with nothing behind it; NOTIONAL is an imagined scene; MIRATIVE says the news ran against what you expected; RESIDUE says an outcome still counts; FORMER says a usual pattern is not claimed for now.

Ageben	English	Taught in	Stage
haram	residue mood (outcome still on the current tally)	Residue and former climate	I
helam	former-climate mood (not the climate claimed now)	Residue and former climate	I
themel	mirative mood overturning a firm expectation	Mirative (themem)	I
themem	mirative mood (newly found out and not expected)	Mirative (themem)	I
themer	mirative mood against a loose expectation	Mirative (themem)	I
theyul	notional mood rehearsal hold (practicing a possible scene to prepare for action)	Hold endings (NOTIONAL)	I
theyum	notional mood default hold (imagining a scene without a further purpose)	Notional (as-if framing)	I
theyur	notional mood suppose hold (toying with a possibility or assumption for now)	Hold endings (NOTIONAL)	I
thomal	may mood find-out hold (I'll / let's find out)	Hold endings (MAY)	B
thomam	may mood (could be; default)	MAY	B
thomar	may mood who-knows hold (leave unsettled; may never know)	Hold endings (MAY)	B

Job	Example	English	Stage
MAY	zalazun thomam vudurul dahelan.	Alazun may be leaving Ahelan.	B
MAY, ask to find out	yel zazozon vabuvul thomal dalazun.	Might Azozon be punching Alazun? let's find out.	B
RESIDUE	zalazun haram vudurul.	Alazun has left and is still gone.	I
RESIDUE with a channel	zalazun thevum haram vudurul.	I remember Alazun leaving, and Alazun is still gone.	I
FORMER after the verb	zazozon hual vozuyel helam.	Azozon always used to sing.	I
A channel as the bar	thugem before zol	than it looks	I

Neither MAY nor MIRATIVE can be a comparison bar.

Already, still, not yet, no longer

Each compares what is true now with a change. Not a tense. -l is settled, -m could change back, -r only for now.

Meaning	-l	-m	-r	Stage
already	havel for good	havem	haver for now	I
still	hawul and will keep on	hawum	hawur about to end	I
not yet	helol but it will	helom	helor maybe never	I
no longer	huvul never again	huvum	huvur paused	I

For has ever, use havem with har; has never is hal (ever / never).

Intending

A want, a plan, and a decision are three steps, and they stack in that order. A plan and a decision are /h/ words, a want is a /th/ word (yours unless a holder names someone else), and none says the act happens.

howal	attempt mood committed (keep going until it works or is ruled out)	Try	I
howam	attempt mood (commitment unstated)	Try	I

thagom	plan mood itinerary map-resolution (steps on the map; detail unstated)	Plan	B
thagor	plan mood sketch map-resolution (direction only; details left open)	Plan	B
thalol	want mood lasting (a wish that keeps returning)	Want	I

A plan with backups	zuwen thagol vowurol xen zuwen thagol vozuyel xen zuwen thagol vezuvel.	walk; failing that, sing; failing that, sleep	I

Ability

After the root, write x, a vowel, and the ending the word would have anyway. Only a verb or adjective takes it; with no single verb, use oda.
