 Toaq is based on such logic:
-* When you say {{t|tu pỏq}}, the domain ranged over by the variable {{t|póq}} is not only each person, but all “people-s”, including all pairs and triples and groups of people. (If this is undesirable, there's {{t|tushı}}, 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 shı}}, which only ranges over singular values. See [[Quantifier]].)
-* In fact, 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.”
