Only the numbers 1 through 4 and the negative numbers -1 through -4 may be used.

== Semantic Frames == | |||
There are several terms in Brooding which don’t have a definitive part of speech, but which are referred to broadly as “semantic frames” or “frame words.” Much like verbs, frames have a “slot” in which other words can be inserted to change the meaning in various ways. The frames, however, rarely have an exact definition of their own; they merely colour the semantic area of whatever terms are slotted into them. | There are several terms in Brooding which don’t have a definitive part of speech, but which are referred to broadly as “semantic frames” or “frame words.” Much like verbs, frames have a “slot” in which other words can be inserted to change the meaning in various ways.
