Let's rethink motion here. We have movement described with respect to an object as 'to' and 'from', and also by 'towards' and, sort of, 'away from' In short, I...
... That's fine. And it's an important distinction to make. Another is motion through a region; e.g. in "the fox jumps over the dog", "over" connotes not...
... You could probably derive a lot of spatial preposition meanings by combining these basic to/towards/from/ through words with others (nouns?) signifying...
Jimzo, I like your set of prepositions! Tceqli being the way it is, it can't imitate them in conciseness, unfortunately. And I like your basic concept....
Hi, all. I am new to Ceqli and to this group. I hope you will be patient with a few of my beginning questions until I gain some proficiency with the language....
... Welcome. Your input will be appreciated. Tceqli is indeed a work in plrogress. Only recently C was reassigned as /S/ (it had been /tS/ and X lost its...
... Thank you very much for clarifications; they will help. I understand about work pressures. I am hoping to retire in 2 years myself, but in the meantime,...

... Bob, check out http://fiziwig.com/pix/imupix01.html . These are pages that Gary Shannon built for Elomi, and Rex has been eying the same concept for Tceqli...
