	~~A word~~ that ~~carries meaning rather than function, unlike~~ particles. ~~In Toaq, this term has been superseded by the much more beginner-friendly sounding '''~~[[verb]]~~'''~~, ~~or '''predicate'''~~.		Words that are not particles. This includes at least all [[verb]]s. It used to be the case that there were only verbs and particles, but in Toaq Delta, new parts-of-speech (like tenses) probably straddle the line between particle and contentive.

	=== Exhibitor slots ===		=== Exhibitor slots / genitival serialization ===
	An old~~-school way to say "genitival [[~~serial~~]]ization" (the "merge-with-[[baq]]" behavior)~~.		In old versions of Toaq, transitive verbs with concrete objects could be on the ''left'' in a serial verb.

	~~<small>~~		For example, {{t\|cho nıaı}} had the meaning of {{t\|cho bâq nıaı}}. (That is to say: this feature has been superseded by [[object incorporation]].)
	~~: A proposed kind of predicate slot with special serial behavior. Written <code>e</code> in signatures.~~
	:		The object slot of {{t\|cho}} was then called an "exhibitor slot", and this kind of serialization was called "genitival serialization".
	~~: Semantically, this slot is filled with a concrete (<code>c</code>) value, but it participates in serial merges sort of like a <code>1</code>.~~
	:
	: For example~~: if~~ {{t\|~~muoq\|{{x~~}} ~~is made~~ of ~~{{x}}}} is taken to be <code>c e</code>, then~~ {{t\|~~muoq pẻq~~}} is ~~“{{x}} is made of paper”~~.
	:
	~~: This would shrink wordy constructs like~~ {{t\|~~sa mủoq sü hóa baq pẻq}} down to just {{t\|sa mủoq pẻq~~}}, and ~~thus partially solve the “Toaq doesn’t have a word like [https://vlasisku~~.~~lojban.org/be Lojban <code>be</code>]” problem.~~

This page gives an overview of Toaq-specific jargon, or logic jargon as it relates to Toaq.

=== Auto-hoa ===

A family of proposals for automatically inserting '''hoa''' into a relative clause. None has been settled on (as of 2021), but you can compare the candidate proposals [https://toaqlanguage.wordpress.com/2020/05/31/the-auto-hoa-suite/ here].

=== Contentive ===

Any Toaq word that isn't a special grammar particle.

=== Exhibitor slots ===

A proposed kind of predicate slot with special serial behavior. Written <code>e</code> in signatures.

Semantically, this slot is filled with a concrete (<code>c</code>) value, but it participates in serial merges sort of like a <code>1</code>.

For example: if '''muoq''' (___ is made of ___) is taken to be <code>c e</code>, then '''muoq peq''' is “___ is made of paper”.

This would shrink wordy constructs like '''sa mủoq sü hóa baq pẻq''' down to just '''sa mủoq pẻq''', and thus partially solve the “Toaq doesn’t have a word like Lojban <code>be</code>” problem.

=== Frame ===

A family of words, all having the same signature. Each frame is named after a familiar word in the frame.

See [https://github.com/acotis/serial-predicate-engine/blob/master/code/dict/frame-list.txt '''mı Hỏaqgīo'''’s list of predicate frames] for a list of all major frames. (2021 note; this is supposed to get trimmed down a lot in the future.)
