Relation Levels and Complements define the language.
We use words with more than one meaning, depending on the Level you're talking.
The (1) is the most simple wording you're going to have to use.
Unless it's marked, the Level used is the (1), or Common.
–
They are: (1) Common (Ifu, Doofa), (2) Working Context (Kae), (3) Tribes (Klannad), Music and Tribal Culture (Kaafe) and or Myth (Midleòg), (4) Science and Code (Koodo), (5) Storytelling (Kalame), (6) The Origin (Kissa), and then (7) Magic (fýr, Imah de).
–
When that's the case, a word may be marked with a number, as shown above.

The Akkia Levels define types of words.
When we say: "Schatka" we mean "house", but "Schlaerschatka", that is "little house", means a "trap" on Level 5, and it's used in Storytelling.
The group can use it during the play, as in: "Su akuta Schlaerschatka da né",... as for "I think it's a trap, isn't it?". Then the other can say "Hai" (Yes, slang), or "Ne" (neutral answer), or else "Egga wa" (No, it's not).
Actually, the word "ne" means "zero", but it's used as a neutral particle.
That's why we can use it in the end to ask for confirmation.
From "ne" we derive (el) "Nekken", which goes with the neutral article.
"Nekken" is the Nothingness, and that's the dimension which allows we to move. Actually, we con't move. We aport! All the time. Thousands of times per second, a movement is fulfilled with "nothing" between real positions, and this nothing is what allows us to really move.
For that sake, Nothingness is not empty.
Then, we have "tag", and it means "void" or "empty", properly.
That forms the word "Tagte", meaning "Empty Hands". But as this is only real more than ten year later, we use the expression for "Unarmed", that is "Ussatker" in our language, used in place of "Martial Art".
You can get "Tungs" (Points) in "Ussatker" in your Vocations and Techniques list.
It will cost "Suratungs" (Five Points) per "Laet", that's "Level".
The word for "relation" is "bait", but Relation Level is "Mealaet" in grammar.
You can ask for "What is the level we should use?", using "Mealaet", and then "ka" for question. The word "ka" comes after what it marks, but it can also be used by the end of a sentence -- we usually use it as "daka?", at the end.
We use the Stative (Alignment) to make statements.
Usually, the sentences are not considered as such, and yes, as an answer.
Baically everything you say can be an answer.
The other option is when it's a question, properly.
I'll have more on it later, in other posts.
For now, I'll leave you with a question: What level should we use during language classes? Whould we use Ergative (that's formal)? Or should we use normal and so Common Ifu level? Do you consider yourself a more formal person? Or informal? What is formality to you?
Next time, we'll see Verbs, and later Honorable Verb Endings.
I hope you're enjoying the reaing, here at the blog.
And,... Stay Plugged.
