New page

The '''Suffix Reform''' is a subsequent reform of the [[Prefix Reform]] based on [[Hoemaı]]’s feedback ([[Prefix Reform#Hoemaı's comments|which see there]]).

== Synopsis ==
The Suffix Reform flips the Toaq word structure on its head and turns what we nowadays call [[prefix]]es into '''suffixes'''. Bikeshedding aside, let’s say for now that we mark off the first in a run of suffixes with an interpunct ({{t|·}}) in writing and the usual glottal interposition mechanism (as in official Toaq) in speech (for instance, /bɛ/ → /bɛ̆ʔɛ̆/). This has several advantages:
* Suffixes never carry stress. This makes them more ergonomic to use and prevents subtle sonic distinctions such as {{t|bụcheaq}} /buʔu-/ vs. {{t|bu'ucheaq}} /buːʔu/.
* The glottal-stop-initial root gotcha no longer applies: whereas officially the word {{t|hụ́'e}} can be mistakenly spelled {{t|hụ́e}} because of the zero initial in {{t|(')ë}}, the Suffix Reform plainly has {{t|é·hu}}.
* Suffixes are head-final, which provides aesthetic variety. In this sense they’re analogous to compounds in that the load-bearing element goes last: compare {{t|taq maı}} → {{t|maıtaq}} with {{t|maı·taq}} (assuming some suffix {{t|·taq}}).
* Unlike officially, the listener does not have to wait for an interposed glottal stop to identify where the root starts. In other words, suffixes have the benefit of being afterthought.

| {{t|jûaı·juaq}} /{{green|ˈdʑuːaj}}dʑ{{blue|ŭʔŭ}}aŋ/
| /ˈdʑuːaj{{blue|dʑː}}uaŋ/
|}

Note how both the Prefix and Suffix Reform preserve the root exactly how it’d be pronounced {{green|standalone}} where the official rendition instead {{orange|destresses}} the root.
