| ===A short introduction===
| | ↳[[Eighth_edition_lekma/Smallset|Small set]] |
| | | __noeditsection__ |
| Through making a miniature language, I learnt a lot about the capabilities of languages. To know more is the reason for lekma/ˈleχmɐ/, which is under development.
| |
| | |
| A sentence in lekma consists of, an interjection/connection + agent × object × verb ÷ adverbial phrase + a subject/topic × a particle(, is it? thing).
