Eighth edition lekma/Smallset

Preface

Small set is a depictable version with least features came from Lekma /ˈlekmɐʔ/. Large set or Lekma though is a personal platform which any words from any other languages can be put together. Both is in my personal experience serving for better understandings of linguistic features by having a personal language.

Constituent order

V(O).V₂O₂:

Set of phrases typically is V(O) for predicate. V₂ is a connective. V₂O₂ is the Suject.

Morphology

Lexemes are devided into either connectives or words.

Null graph turns every inital word of phrases into verb.

Connectives are sort of verbs but unlike other verbs, word which is next to connective turns into subject.

〈harz〉 at V₂ otherwise 〈carz〉 is to mean the subject is objective for the action denoted by the predicate.
