New:

* "A"
This marker is used to address the speaker.

ven fu domut a li johan.
go to home {a} (name) John.
Come home, John.

* Superlatives are best.
The "-IT" suffix is now also used as a superlative.
megi = big
megisi = bigger; very big
megiti = biggest; most big
meditut = the biggest one

* Vocabulary.
There have many many changes in the vocabulary. Please keep an eye on the web
dictionary for the latest revisions.



Under consideration / ready for discussion:

* Passive constructions.
"-UF" can now also be used with a verb to make it passive. This also means we
can create passive participles with "-UFI" and active onces with "-UMI" however
just "-I" should be preferred unless otherwise needed for better clarity.

sib makanuf = the apple was eaten

* "-UT" -> "-O"
Changing this suffix will somewhat break up the simple structure, but its such
a freqently-used suffix I think a single vowel could make speech flow a little
better. Of course, this would mean a shift in the "-O" used as the formal
imperative.

* Limited consonant clusters.
This is one will be tough because it's something that's been avoided until now
but I'm starting to see where certain clusters can be used without making things
difficult for most speakers. For example, most speakers shouldn't have any
trouble speaking combination with nasal+stop (nt, nd, mp, mb, qg, qk) or
nasal+fricative (ns, nz, mf, mv) between vowels. Certain stop/fricative+liquid
combinations (bl, br, pl, pr, gl, gr, kl, kr, kw, dr, tr, sl, sw, fl) could also
be used initally as well as between vowels. Expanding the phonotactics like
this can make lexicon building easier and also improve the recognizability of
some words already in the dictionary.

buras -> bras = brush
garam -> gram = gram
hidorogen -> hidrogen = hydrogen
nitorogen -> nitrogen = nitrogen
nutoron -> nutron = nutron
palatinam -> platinam = platinum
patalon -> pantalon = pants, trousers
poroton -> proton = proton
pulutonajum -> plutonajum = plutonium
zinikum -> ziqkum = zinc
