Here is a list of questions that have been asked about official Toaq for which the reference grammar does not provide a clear answer, along with their resolutions if they are known. This list is incomplete; you can help by expanding it.
Unresolved questions
- Do lu constructs work as high adverbs or low adverbs when placed in t6 and t7?
- In the sentence She dûa jí mâı súq jí cy cy, jêo róu da., does róu access the inner content clause or the outer one?
- I suspect that it’s the outer phrase that c-commands róu, and not the inner phrase, which makes the whole phrase tautological. I recommend hoı in such scenarios. uakcitalk
- Can áq and chéq be used before the x1 slot, e.g. are sentences like Kuq còu áq nháo valid?
Resolved questions
- Does shu quote only a word, or word + tone?
- Official answer: It quotes word + tone. https://discord.com/channels/311223912044167168/334810940392341514/892671069197062175
- What is the scope of sa in the sentence Kaqgaı tu po sa saq sıa kıq da.?
- Official answer: The sa is part of an implicit subordinate clause and does not interact with the scopers on the top level. po sa saq is an opaque predicate meaning "___ relates to some group of three individuals". https://discord.com/channels/311223912044167168/334810940392341514/550783714867675148
