:For understanding the deeper meaning of a VC or a CV part of a root, we should consider the meaning of VC or CV extended by N as N+VC or CV-N. For example, for understanding the deeper meaning of -AB in all roots containing -AB (JAB, WAB, MAB, TAB, BAB, NAB, KAB, RAB, SAB), we should understand that NAB- is the central of this group of nine words: as NAB- means love, all nine roots of the -AB group signify things necessary for applying love in real life; | :For understanding the deeper meaning of a VC or a CV part of a root, we should consider the meaning of VC or CV extended by N as N+VC or CV-N.

There is a TJAWAN language that distinguishes between TWISO and TJASO, or between TISO and UN TISO (living and non living). TWISO is marked by -H- after the second consonant, and TJASO by -N- in the same position. Most of the time you better not mark either. E.g., RABO is tree or wood; RABNO is lifeless wood, and RABHO stresses the fact that the tree is living. (H is pronounced separately, not as a modifier to the previous consonant). WIMNO is a leg of a chair or table, WIMHO makes sure it is a leg of a living body; WIMO is generally leg or foot. TAMO is sky. If you want to translate the Beatles song "above us only sky", then you call it TAMNO (non living); but if you want to make clear it is living, you call sky TAMHO. | |||
Another TJAWAN language makes a distinction between velar Q and palatal C. The difference in meaning is very subtle; Q refers to things really objective, while C to things realized as such, but possibly not so in reality. Again the first syllable focuses on external reality, while the second one focuses on feelings and cognition. For example, QARO=indeed straight, while CARO=believed to be straight. TUQO=something really heard, while TUCO is something one things (he) heard. This is also a theoretical language. Although velars can alternate with palatals in Dama Diwan, there the distinction is ignored: Dama Diwan uses only K (or G) which is usually velar, but the same can be pronounced as palatal without a distinction in meaning. | Another TJAWAN language makes a distinction between velar Q and palatal C.
