Grammar Rules and Structure

\* Sentence Structure: Subject-Verb-Object (Big-agent + Action-object + To-object). Or it uses verbs in a group to come with a small concept (action-state, place-sense, or time-sense).

\* Verbs "dt" and "yut": Use "dt" for "am," "is," or "to be." Use "yut" for "are." In a Subject-Verb-Object sentence, it goes later as the big-agent.

\* Gender Suffix - Female/Male: Use "u" at the end-part if speech goes to a female (like hello/thank you for her) and use "a" at the end-part if speech goes to a male (like hello/thank you for him).

\* Gender Suffix - Negative: Use "nas" for "no" if speech goes to a female, and use "noi" for "no" if speech goes to a male.

\* The Ø̈/ø̈ Rule: If a word has "o", take "o" and write Ø̈ instead of ø̈. If a word lacks "o", write Ø̈ instead of ø̈ at the end-part of the word. Only if you want to make a word plural.

\* Past Tense Marker "-ip": Use "-ip" to verbs for actions that happened in the past (like etip = ate, wuzip = went / was going to).

\* Punctuation Rules: Use ! at the start-part of a line of speech and ¡ at the end-part. You can use ? and ¿ Can also use ".".

\* Compound Word Rules: Objects can take actions and to-actions to make a big concept in 1 word (no small lines). The big-object goes first-first, and the state-object goes later (like tok + kwa = tokkwa. No max (except for languages example: arabi-tok stays the same)

The Waqk Alphabet

\* A-Z: All-standard English-speech writing-part-sense except for "w" it is pronounced th and "z" it's pronounced firstly put your tongue on the back of your top teeth put your mouth and try to pronounce the English letter z it should come out as "bzzz"

\* Tͭß: name is jagu (pronounced tss)

\* g̾: name is cui (pronounced gn)

\* Ø̈/ø̈: oh (speech like Ō "oh" in fast-dead / cut-off). if you are making something plural like senkeō (bitch) into sekeø (bitches) it would sound the same so if there's a o at the end of the word and you're trying to make it plural “ø̈” would sound like “é” if you are making something plural and there is not a o at the end it remains the same
