qiihoskehHere are my notes for C4. The syntax is SVO Accusative and Head-Modifier.
There are 4 generations of nouns, 3 of univalent verbs, and 1 of bivalent verbs. Univalent verbs are assigned to generations 0, 1, and 2 while bivalent verbs are assigned to generation 3.
The root symbols are a-z, A-Z, and 0-9; this makes a total of 496 roots. The digits, noun generation 0, are used for the pronouns, which are the same as for C2.
Some roots are derivational and must be followed by another root. Each derivational root occupies 4 generations of the same root, so that the base root to which the derivational root is prefixed can be any generation.
The cements have been replaced by switches, which select one of 2 functions for the following root, as well as the generation for that root. The functions are noun modifier or additional noun modifier and main verb or additional main level verb. Only the 1st 4 switches are used with nouns; with verbs, the 1st 4 indicate modifier level, while the 2nd 4 indicate main level. Switch 0 is null. The switch symbols are
A noun modifier has an object noun, iff bivalent, but the object noun can't be modified.
Embedded clauses begin with { and end with }.
A relative clause may be used in place of a noun-modifier. A relative clause is constructed as an embedded clause containing a host argument pronoun referring to the head of the clause (6 if the head is the subject, otherwise 7).
A complement clause may be used in place of a noun and its modifiers. It's constructed as an embedded clause. It _may_ contain a host argument pronoun to refer to the other argument of the verb.
Since nouns can't be used as predicates, there's a copula which acts like a bivalent verb syntactically.
