See Also
Proposed Keywords
extra sumti place
Usage Examples
- ma jai ta'i jukpa fai mi .ei

Notes
- The CLL does not mention, how fai behaves in a sentence without a jai conversion.
cmavo: jai (JAI)
Proposed Definition
modal conversion. convert tense/modal (tagged) place to 1st place.
See Also
Proposed Keywords
Usage Examples
- lo jai gau fagri
- The firestarter.
- .i mi gleki lo nu la seryf. ba jai gau jufra ti'e
- I'm happy seryf's going to do a sentence (i hear).
- pe'i denpa bu na'e sidju gi'e jai cfipu po'o
- The dot doesn't help, but only confuse.
Notes
- The original 1st place moves to the {jai} place.
- By not putting a modal after jai, an abstraction is put into the fai place and the x1 spot becomes a sumti "raised" from that abstraction (thus letting you put any sumti where the place structure requires an abstraction).

Notes
On fa, fe, fi, fo and fu
In combination with xi
Tagging one of fa, fe, fi, fo or fu with xi and a number turns the FA into "tag the nth sumti place".
Resume counting, skipping places
- Normally, sumti places start with either 1, or 2 (if the first sumti comes after the selbri) and after each sumti, the next place is filled. If the number of places of the selbri is reached, all the next places have an implicit do'e tag.
- When a sumti place is already filled (for instance, if a FA was used to jump back), that place is 'skipped'
Using a place multiple times
- Assigning two sumti to the same place directly is like connecting the two sumti with 'e' and putting the result in that place.
Examples
- da citka de di ~= fa da cikta fe de do'e di (count from one, cikta only has x1 and x2)
- klama de ~= klama fe de (count from two, as the first sumti comes after the selbri)
- klama de fa da di ~= klama fe de fa da fi di (do not "overwrite" the second place. skip to the third instead)
- mi klama fa do ~= fa mi e do klama (assigning two sumti to the same place connects them together)
- mi klama fa xi mu da ~= mi klama fu da (using xi to turn fa into "tag 5th sumti" (which is the same as fu))
Impact
Missing stuff from this page
