Exceptions cheat sheet

A quick look at the places where Agazan breaks one of its own patterns. Each row gives the usual pattern, the words that break it, and a link to the page that teaches them.

-n that is not a name

On a content word, the ending -n marks a name: this person, place, work, or brand, not a kind of thing (word endings). These closed word families also end in -n without naming anything:

Words	What -n does there	Example
special pronouns, the generic pronoun, and the topic pronoun	the usual ending on these person words	zamun I, zoben one, zozan the topic
stand-ins	-rn (single vowel) or -n (stacked vowel) names a kind of sentence content (statement, question, command, prohibition); on /v/, the matching response verb	darn a statement, varn state
join words with a /v/, /x/, /ɡ/, or /h/ first letter	join content: a join-act verb, clause sequence, or a join-relation	van include, xan and then, gan including

These still count as names:

Words	Why it is still a name
a phrase join under /z/, /d/, or /b/	-n titles the bundle (titled phrases)
a hook	-n titles a proper-name phrase (titled phrases)
a number word	-n is a conventional designation, such as an official label or the Second (number-word exception)
