<!--
 
This is a short reminder of the language format policy.
 
I. Write a short piece stating your intents and purposes when creating the language (Design goal, inspiration, ideas, and so on).
II. Write a short introduction to your language. (Who speaks it? When was it created? By whom? or what? are some example questions that can be answered here)
III. Once done, try making sure everything is properly spelt so as to avoid unnecessary reader fatigue.

Tense is generally unmarked in Ksieħ, though the past tense marker ''de'' may be inserted at the beginning of a sentence to disambiguate.
The past tense marker is ''de-'' (from Proto-Tergetic ''te'' (and), which switched past and future tenses like the Biblical Hebrew vav consecutive)
