!tense
Note: This post is slightly out of date. Due to an update which introduced the idea of predicate classes, tense predicates no longer need to take a second argument. They are unary predicates now.

!autohoa
Taxonomy of auto-hoa, by Hoaqgīo
- Required hoa.
- Hoa must appear in every relative clause.
-
- Semi-required hoa.
- Hoa must appear in every relative clause, unless that clause is completely empty, in which case hoa fills the first slot.
-
- Lazy initial auto-hoa.
- If hoa does not appear in the relative clause at all, then it is inserted before all of the other arguments.
-
- Eager initial auto-hoa.
- Hoa is inserted before all of the other arguments even if it does appear elsewhere in the clause, and can only be cancelled with an explicit "fi".
-
- Lazy structural final auto-hoa.
- If hoa does not appear in the relative clause at all, then it is inserted after all of the other arguments at the top level.
-
- Eager structural final auto-hoa.
- A hoa is inserted after all of the other arguments at the top-level unless the top-level slots are all filled.
-
- Lazy pre-terminator final auto-hoa.
- If a hoa does not appear in the relative clause at all, it is inserted as an automatic final word in the phrase (e.g. after explicit terminators but before implicit ones).
-
- Eager pre-terminator final auto-hoa.
- Hoa is inserted as an automatic final word in the phrase (e.g. after explicit terminators but before implicit ones) unless the phrase is full.
-
- Hybrid hoa.
- The constructs lú, lü, lủ, and räı could have different rules of hoa. For example, eager initial auto-hoa in häo clauses together with semi-required hoa in lü/lú clauses has been suggested (the auto-hoa form for lú would then be ke häo).

!tonebreakdown
The 7 tones are less complicated than one might think.
The only atomic tones are :t1:, :t2:, :t4: and :t6:.
- t3: and :t7: are compound tones: :t3: is a :t2: containing a glottal stop, while :t7: is a :t6: containing a glottal stop.
Finally, :t5: is the same as :t1: followed by :t4:, where the two tones are separated by a hiatus.
