cepi,verb,imagine,imagine,
di,verb,do,"do, act, cause, make, create","This word is limited to causation that is *direct* in the ethical sense: an act that happens to influence someone else's decision to do X doesn't count as doing X, except for encouraging them to do it. See rai for indirect causation. Also note that di is not used as 'make' for non-substantial entities like 'plan' (where it might be confused with 'do'); for such words, use a verb like 'invent' or 'think of'."
rai,verb,cause,"cause","See di."
ure,verb,undo,"undo",
re,verb,become,"change, become, turn",
te,verb,remain,"remain, stay","This doesn't specifically refer to location, but is the opposite of re."

to,verb,keep (a certain way),"keep","Direct object is the thing kept, av specifies the state it's kept in."
ar,preposition,specifies destination,"to, at, until","Used to specify an additional parameter for a verb that is in some way being moved *toward*, like destination, target, or recipient. Some verbs that use this slot are give, send (recipient), put, move (destination), throw (target), and encourage (to do what). Can also be used as 'until' (time)."

laco,verb,explain,explain,
zolco,verb,convince,"convince, persuade",
vo,verb,try,"try, so, so that","This word itself means 'try'. For info on 'so that', see the concept article on multiple predicates.
vo is stricter than ko. While ko can describe any expected consequence of an action, vo describes only *wanted* consequences. Precisely, it means that the outcome is either a terminal value (something the agent wants for its own sake) or a means to one, not an unwanted side effect."
vi,"verb, adverb",believe that ... would make one happy,"want","Can apply to wanting something either for its own sake or as a means.
As is typical of Spem verbs like this, when vi requires a subordinate clause, it uses ke, rather than the convoluted English syntax of ""I want you to do X"" when you mean ""I want that you do X"". If ""you"" is the subject of the subordinate clause, it shouldn't be phrased as an object. However, when the wanter is also the subject of the subordinate clause, the shorthand of "I want do X" is allowed, which is why this is tagged as an adverb."
vu,verb,believe that ... would make one unhappy,"fear, hate","See notes on vi."
vwi,verb,believe that ... would make one happy for its own sake,"want","Like vi, but only applies to wanting something for its own sake, not as a means."
vyu,verb,believe that ... would make one unhappy for its own sake,"fear, hate","See vwi."
iv,verb,... is in one's interests,"need","This is used with the same syntax as vi, but means that the thing is actually in the subject's interests, regardless of whether they think so."
uv,verb,... is against one's interests,,"This is used with the same syntax as vu, but means that the thing is actually against the subject's interests, regardless of whether they think so."
ri,verb,choose,"choose","Often combined with ke to mean ""choose for something to happen"". For example: ""ri ke Bob neku"" = ""choose for Bob to die"", to allow it intentionally if not to cause it. ri does not mean the agent *desired* the outcome, only that they expected it. Also, ri does not strictly mean the outcome *happened*; only that the agent took an action they expected to cause it."
rev,verb,consider choosing,"consider",
ru,verb,intend,"intend","This is 'intend' as in 'plan to do something in the future', not as in 'want' when referring to an outcome."
zi,verb,should (strategic),"should","Means that an act would promote the subject's goals. See other 'should' words."
zu,verb,shouldn't (strategic),"shouldn't","Means that an act would sabotage the subject's goals. See other 'should' words."
ze,verb,use,"use, by, with, through, via","See the concept article on multiple predicates."
ji,modifier,maybe,"maybe","Should go before the verb in general, because otherwise it can be mistaken for modifying the subject (which it can also do - ""ji ? ki lo"" = ""possibly-true statement""). ""Probably"" = ""da ji"". Optionally the subject of the probability can be before ji: ""Bob ji ..."" = ""From Bob's perspective / with his information, it's possible that ..."""
qe,verb,go,"go, come, move","This is a shortcut for qo (ne) ar, since it's so common. No preposition is needed; the destination is the direct object."

ɪp,preposition,at (location),"at, in, on",
pej,verb,move,"move","""move"" in the sense of ""change position"" rather than ""change location"" (for that, use qe). When you scratch an itch you pej."
poj,verb,move,"move","The transitive version of pej."

fɪn,modifier,barely,"barely, hardly",
jawi,modifier,partially,"partially, somewhat","Broader than teto. This word matches any positive degree less than "completely" or "very"."
mi,pronoun,me,"I, me, myself","When used as the subject of `a`, mi does not generally need `a` to be said. It's fine to leave it out: ""mi yaku"" = ""I'm outside"" (literally ""I outside""). For most words this doesn't work because it loses a distinction. For example, with ""the big one is green"" versus ""the big green one"", the latter implies there's an entity that we all already know is both big and green, while the former identifies an entity only distinguished by bigness and informs the listener of an additional quality it has. But with mi, this isn't an issue since there's only one entity mi can refer to."
may,pronoun,me and others,"we, us, ourself, ourselves","The ""first and third person"" interpretation of we/us."
ŋi,pronoun,you,"you, yourself, yourselves","Thoya has no plural, so ŋi can refer to an audience of multiple people, but can't refer to a group including people who are not present."
ŋay,pronoun,you and others,"you, yourselves","This is not just a plural 'you'; it's for referring to a group that includes both the audience and people who are not present."
miŋ,pronoun,me and you,"we, us, ourself, ourselves","The ""first and second person"" interpretation of we/us."
mayŋ,pronoun,me and you and others,"we, us, ourself, ourselves","The ""first and second and third person"" interpretation of we/us - only used when it includes all three of self, listener, and people who are not present."
ne,pronoun,subject of most recent verb,"it, he, she, they, itself, himself, herself, themself, themselves",
en,pronoun,each other,"each other","Used just like ne."
no,pronoun,object of most recent verb,"it, him, her, them",
ni,pronoun,object of preposition,"it, him, her, them",
na,pronoun,misc aforementioned,"the, it, he, she, they","This word should always refer to something that was previously mentioned, but in a position that no other pronoun could refer to. For something that wasn't previously mentioned, use a demonstrative."
ɪna,special,individualizer,"each, individually","Makes a statement apply to each element of a group individually - in a sense the opposite of 'each other'.
'Samurai nogu ne': Samurai are killing themselves/each other. No indiciation of which.
'Samurai nogu en': Samurai are killing each other.
'ɪna Samurai nogu ne': Samurai are killing themselves."
nu,modifier,not,"not, no","When used as 'not', it behaves like Spanish 'no': it always goes directly before the thing it negates. It can also be used to answer a question or to contradict someone with a single syllable. Like yi, it can also be used to negate a predicate inferrable from context. For example:
""I can't believe you all just let this happen!""
""I didn't (mi nu)! I just couldn't stop it without everyone else's help."""
yi,special,yes,"yes","This can be used either in answer to a question or to agree with a statement. It can also be used to replace a predicate that's inferrable from context. For example:
""Did you do this?""
""No, Charlie did!"" --> ""nu, Charlie yi!""
""Writing a book isn't hard. Writing a good one is."" (is = yi)"

tɪt,entity,point (in space),point,
jat,entity,place,place,"Don't use this word to mean 'spot'; only 'place'. This is similar to the distinction between qe and je."
i,conjunction,and,"and, also, plus, besides","The way conjuction lists work is slightly different. Like English, it's acceptable to only use i once with a list of several items, but instead of ""A, B, i C"", it's formatted as ""i A, B, C"" so you don't have to wait until the last item to know the difference between 'and' and 'or'."
o,conjunction,or,"or","Using o on lists is slightly different than English 'or'; see the notes on i."
u,conjunction,minus,"minus, without, except","This can only be translated to 'without' when it means the same thing as 'minus'. One example where it can't might be: ""Safety without liberty is not worth fighting for.""

ta,special,parameter separator,,"Separates parameters for verbs that take sets. For example, 'compare'. ar and ra don't satisfy this verb's preposition needs; it needs to be able to take an arbitrary number of things to be compared: 'compare A ta B ta C' = 'compare A, B, and C'. The reason Thoya doesn't just use 'i' (and) here is that 'i' is used to combine entities into a single parameter, not to separate them. If you need to compare *groups* to each other, this can cause trouble. In English, we fumble through this like: 'compare A and B, C and D, and E and F'. It's nasty how 'and' is used with multiple meanings here. ta is a clearer solution: 'compare A i B ta C i D ta E i F'.
Examples of other verbs that would use ta: distinguish, balance, choose"

ce,special,early evaluator,,"ce solves certain ambiguities by 'pulling aside' another word to evaluate it outside of its containing clause. For example: 'I think that all of my beliefs are true.' When I say it in English, many people tell me this statement is stupid because they wrongly parse it as 'I think the following: all of my beliefs are true', when the correct parse is 'for each of my beliefs, denoted B, I think the following: B is true'. Interpreted correctly, the statement is a truism.
ce works like this: 'ce ɪna tip ko mi ci nay, ci ke nay a yec.' = 'for each of my beliefs, denoted ce, I think that ce is true.'"

yur,verb,decree about one's property,"decree, decide","The English words really don't capture the meaning. yur describes a decree about one's property, for example:
'yur ke (guests) us peŋi (shoes) kyɪs qi' = 'guests must remove shoes when entering'.
'yur ke ŋi qu kemi ŋe mi' = 'leave my house'. as this example shows, you can think of 'yur ke' as being a command prefix, but don't take that too far because English commands have many other meanings, for example advice commands or requests that are not meant to generate conditions on the use of one's property (for example 'come here')."
lefu,verb,mishear or misparse (language),"misunderstand, mishear, misparse","Can be used as an interjection: 'lefu' as a clause by itself is like saying 'I misheard or misparsed the sentence, but I get it now'."
