 Toaq is based on such logic:
-* When you say {{t|sá poq}}, the domain ranged over by the variable {{t|póq}} is not only that of each individual person, but of all “people-s”, including all pairs and triples and groups of people. (If this is undesirable, there's {{t|sá shı poq}}, which only ranges over singular values. See [[Quantifier]].)
+* When you say {{Derani| |sá poq}}, the domain ranged over by the variable {{Derani||póq}} is not only that of each individual person, but of all “people-s”, including all pairs and triples and groups of people. (If this is undesirable, there's {{Derani|  |sá poq nẹshı}}, which only ranges over singular values. See [[Quantifier]].)
-* Numbers in Toaq have definitions like “{{t|saq}}: ___ (plural) are three in number.”
+* Numbers can be turned into verbs with the prefix {{Derani||ne-}}, giving words like {{Derani||nẹsaq}} “___ (plural) are three in number.”
