* [https://toaqlanguage.wordpress.com/2021/08/08/miscellanea1/ Miscellanea 1] seemed to imply that (c 1 c) and (1 c) frames are going away. Will {{t|noa, fuı, doa, nua, jea}} be redefined?
** = Need feedback on [https://github.com/toaq/dictionary/pull/129 The Great Serial Simplification] PR. Right now that PR clears the "frame" field on these words without redefining them yet.
* Will {{t|kou}} and {{t|ray}} become official, or will there be some way to "unbind" / force an exophoric reading of {{t|maq}} and {{t|hoq}}?

* Do the reflexive anaphoric words {{t|áq}}, {{t|chéq}} refer to the subject of the current (sub)clause or do they always go back to the matrix clause?

** '''Official answer:''' 'The intended redefinition for noa at the time was "(c) is difficult to (2)", e.g. noa choa "(c) is difficult to pronounce". […] As for jea, doa, nua, I think the idea was to switch x2 and x3.'
