!tense

Note: This post is slightly out of date. Due to an update which introduced the idea of predicate classes, tense predicates no longer need to take a second argument. They are unary predicates now.

WIP / Proposals

!autohoa

Taxonomy of auto-hoa, by Hoaqgīo

Required hoa.

Hoa must appear in every relative clause.
Semi-required hoa.

Hoa must appear in every relative clause, unless that clause is completely empty, in which case hoa fills the first slot.
Lazy initial auto-hoa.

If hoa does not appear in the relative clause at all, then it is inserted before all of the other arguments.
Eager initial auto-hoa.

Hoa is inserted before all of the other arguments even if it does appear elsewhere in the clause, and can only be cancelled with an explicit "fi".
Lazy structural final auto-hoa.

If hoa does not appear in the relative clause at all, then it is inserted after all of the other arguments at the top level.
Eager structural final auto-hoa.

A hoa is inserted after all of the other arguments at the top-level unless the top-level slots are all filled.
Lazy pre-terminator final auto-hoa.

If a hoa does not appear in the relative clause at all, it is inserted as an automatic final word in the phrase (e.g. after explicit terminators but before implicit ones).
Eager pre-terminator final auto-hoa.

Hoa is inserted as an automatic final word in the phrase (e.g. after explicit terminators but before implicit ones) unless the phrase is full.
Hybrid hoa.

The constructs lú, lü, lủ, and räı could have different rules of hoa. For example, eager initial auto-hoa in häo clauses together with semi-required hoa in lü/lú clauses has been suggested (the auto-hoa form for lú would then be ke häo).

!tonebreakdown

The 7 tones are less complicated than one might think.

The only atomic tones are :t1:, :t2:, :t4: and :t6:.

t3: and :t7: are compound tones: :t3: is a :t2: containing a glottal stop, while :t7: is a :t6: containing a glottal stop.

Finally, :t5: is the same as :t1: followed by :t4:, where the two tones are separated by a hiatus.
