 This page gives an overview of Toaq-specific jargon, or logic jargon as it relates to Toaq.
-=== Auto-hoa ===
+=== Auto-{{t|hóa}} ===
+A family of proposals for automatically inserting {{t|hóa}} into a relative clause. See [[Auto-hóa|the dedicated page]].
-A family of proposals for automatically inserting '''hoa''' into a relative clause. None has been settled on (as of 2021), but you can compare the candidate proposals [https://toaqlanguage.wordpress.com/2020/05/31/the-auto-hoa-suite/ here].
 === Contentive ===
+Words that are not particles. This includes at least all [[verb]]s. It used to be the case that there were only verbs and particles, but in Toaq Delta, new parts-of-speech (like tenses) probably straddle the line between particle and contentive.
-An old-school way to say [[verb]].
 === Donkey ===
 See [[Donkey sentence]].
-=== Exhibitor slots ===
+=== Exhibitor slots / genitival serialization ===
+In old versions of Toaq, transitive verbs with concrete objects could be on the ''left'' in a serial verb.
-An old-school way to say "genitival [[serial]]ization" (the "merge-with-[[baq]]" behavior).
+For example, {{t|cho nıaı}} had the meaning of {{t|cho bâq nıaı}}. (That is to say: this feature has been superseded by [[object incorporation]].)
-<small>
+The object slot of {{t|cho}} was then called an "exhibitor slot", and this kind of serialization was called "genitival serialization".
-: A proposed kind of predicate slot with special serial behavior. Written <code>e</code> in signatures.
-:
-: Semantically, this slot is filled with a concrete (<code>c</code>) value, but it participates in serial merges sort of like a <code>1</code>.
-:
-: For example: if '''muoq''' (___ is made of ___) is taken to be <code>c e</code>, then '''muoq peq''' is “___ is made of paper”.
-:
-: This would shrink wordy constructs like '''sa mủoq sü hóa baq pẻq''' down to just '''sa mủoq pẻq''', and thus partially solve the “Toaq doesn’t have a word like Lojban <code>be</code>” problem.

 === [[Frame]] ===
@@ Line 31: / Line 21: @@
 A family of words, all having the same signature. Each frame is named after a familiar word in the frame.
-See [https://github.com/acotis/serial-predicate-engine/blob/master/code/dict/frame-list.txt '''mı Hỏaqgīo'''’s list of predicate frames] for a list of all major frames. (2021 note; this is supposed to get trimmed down a lot in the future.)
+See [https://github.com/acotis/serial-predicate-engine/blob/master/code/dict/frame-list.txt [[User:Hoaqgio|Hoaqgio]]’s list of predicate frames] for a list of all major frames as of 2021. The new list is much slimmer; viz. [[Frame#Table of serial frames]].
 === Great Root Expansion (GRE) ===
+[https://toaqlanguage.wordpress.com/2019/10/10/the-great-root-expansion-phonology-update/ A 2019 phonology update.]
-A 2019 phonology proposal ([https://toaqlanguage.wordpress.com/2019/10/10/the-great-root-expansion-phonology-update/ link]).
 === JJ ===
-{{t|jìe jí}}, "in my opinion".
+{{t|Jîe jí}}, "in my opinion".
 === New Segmentation (Newseg) ===
+A 2020 [http://toaq.org/Tones.pdf proposal] for a change to the tone system. This was superseded by the segmentation system as laid out in the Gamma reference grammar.
-A 2020 proposal for a change to the tone system. http://toaq.org/Tones.pdf
-This was superseded by the [[refgram]] segmentation system.
 === Opaque ===
-# Of a grammar construct like '''po X''': meaning quantifiers on the inside don't leak out of it into the main prenex.
+See [[Opaque]].
-# Of compound words like '''nıefā''': meaning that you can't technically figure out the meaning just by applying rules to the parts; you have to look it up in a dictionary to be sure. But of course there are a lot of useful patterns. The decomposition into '''nıe''' and '''fa''' can be considered an etymology or a mnemonic, but there's no "transparent" process that determines its meaning.
-#: ''In linguistics, these kinds of compounds are known as '''derivational''' (vs. '''compositional''') or '''exocentric''' (vs. '''endocentric''') compounds.''
-=== Small Grammar Update (SGU) ===
-See [[Small Grammar Update]].
-=== t2, t3, t4… ===
+=== <code>t2</code>, <code>t3</code>, <code>t4</code>… ===
 The second, third, fourth… [[tone]].
 === Universe of discourse (UoD) ===
+The set of things under discussion at a given time. Quantifiers range over this domain, so that {{t|tú poq}} doesn't necessarily mean "all of the people in the world". See [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_of_discourse Wikipedia].
