As for introduction of lekma/ˈleχmɐ/, it is a conlang, my reason to constructure a miniature language is, to make is an effective way to learn about languages, to know languages has much affect on it, so it is under construction. Thanks for visitting this site. A lekma structure is as follows, an interjection/connection + an agent × an object × a verb ÷ adverbial clauses + a subject/topic × a particle.
± substantives adnoun + noun. // adverb + verb. // noun + adnoun clause. // noun + adjectifier + noun. // prefix + noun. // noun + suffix. // noun + suffix + adjectifier + noun. // particle + noun. // noun + particle. // particle + affix × noun. // affix × noun + adjectifier + noun + particle. // sub clause + main clause.
