| Syntax: Topic |
Toaq clauses can begin with a topic which specifies what the clause is about. The topic marker bï separates the topic from the rest of the clause.
Níchaq bï daqsheı jí.
As for today, I'm free.
Here, níchaq is the topic, Níchaq bï is the topic phrase, and everything after it is the comment.
The topic should be a definite reference, like a pronoun or a determiner phrase using ké or 
. A quantified expression using sá or tú can't be the topic, but it may be fronted in a cleft using nä.
An adverbial can maybe be a topic (TODO expand on this).
