Special marks in the beginning and at the end of sentences are used to separate them from another |sentence| thus marking initials and dots or to indicate whether they are an interrogative (zo-question) or an imperative <sentence>: |neym juhhmi(zoneyh phe) where the second '|' has been left out. Mid-sentence upper case letters can be marked with a line under the letter. With Latin script of course, these marks aren't used to avoid misunderstandings. | Special marks in the beginning and at the end of sentences are used to separate them from another |sentence| thus marking initials and dots or to indicate whether they are an interrogative (zo-question) or an imperative <sentence>: |neym juhhmi(zoneyh phe) where the second '|' has been left out.
