What's with the ı / i without dot / dotless i?
✅ Writing ı without the dot distinguishes it more from an i that carries a tone mark, it also makes more room for an adjacent tone mark. Overall, it just makes things easier to read.

What's up with the letter q in this language? Pronunciation of q
✅ q is somewhat special and its pronunciation may not be immediately obvious. It is pronounced like English ⟨ng⟩ (IPA [ŋ]). The use of the letter Q is a nod to Rex May’s Ceqli, an international auxiliary language with loglang elements; it’s also found in natural languages such as Fijian (where it represents [ᵑɡ], to be exact).
What's the difference between an indirect question and a ꝡé phrase?
✅ The distinction is extremely important logically speaking, but English usually conflates the two, so many people overlook the difference. The following example illustrates the difference:
- Dua jí ꝡä chı súq hí raı. = "I know what you believe"
- Dua jí ꝡé chı súq hóa. = "I know what you believe"
Let's say that what you believe is [God exists].
- says that I know that you believe [God exists], because I know what it is that you believe
- says that I know that [God exists] is true, because I know that which you believe to be true.
