Why and allowed cheat sheet

A quick look at causation and sakes on one page. Nothing here is new: each row links to the section that teaches it. Stage: B Beginner, I Intermediate, A Advanced.

Because, if, only if

Write the outcome first, then the pole, then the condition as the pole's /b/. The pole is on /th/ after a verb and on /ɡ/ after a noun (there is X if …).

After a verb / a noun	Link	Condition	English	Stage
thoyem / goyem	enough	not asserted	if	B
tholum / golum	needed	not asserted	only if / needs	B
thavem / gavem	enough	asserted as the reason	because	I
tholum thavem / golum gavem	needed	asserted	only because / depends on	I
thedam / gedam	both ways	not asserted	if and only if	I

Job	Example	English	Stage
If, after a verb	zazawan vowogal thoyem berehel.	Azawan walks if there is rain.	B
If, after a noun	zerehel goyem bagavul.	There is rain if there are clouds.	B
Only if	zazawan vowogal tholum berehel.	Azawan walks only if there is rain.	B
Condition is a whole sentence: barl, then the sentence	zazawan vowogal thoyem barl zalahen vezebal.	Azawan walks if Alahen sleeps.	I
Because	zazawan vowogal thavem barl zalahen vezebal.	Azawan walks because Alahen sleeps.	I
If and only if	zazawan vowogal thedam barl zalahen vezebal.	Azawan walks if and only if Alahen sleeps.	I
Only because	zazawan vowogal tholum thavem berehel.	Azawan walks only because there is rain.	I
Unless: burl for barl	zazawan vowogal thoyem burl zalahen vezebal.	Azawan walks unless Alahen sleeps.	I
Even if	zazawan vowogal hezom thoyem barl zalahen vezebal.	Azawan walks even if Alahen sleeps.	I

A noun after a because pole names an act or a thing, never a person. For because of Alahen, give what Alahen did as a sentence after barl.

Fault and share

The ending on the because pole says whether anyone did wrong.

Agazan	Use	English	Stage
thavel	the reason broke a norm	it's their fault / to blame	I
thavem	the reason made it happen; no fault claimed	because	I
thaver	one share among others	partly because	I

Job	Example	English	Stage
Fault, on an act	zazawan vedabal thavel barl zalahen vezebel.	Azawan left, and Alahen's telling was wrong.	I
A share	zazawan vedabal thaver berehel.	The rain is part of why Azawan left.	I

CAUSE: the mechanism

thegem before a pole says the condition is how the result is produced.

Job	Example	English	Stage
Mechanism	zazawan vowogal thegem thoyem berehel.	Azawan walks if there is rain (as mechanism).	I
Make someone do it: causer in /b/, no pole	zalahen vezebel thegem bazawan.	Azawan makes Alahen tell.	I
One adjective only: wegem	zazawan wegem gelevam vowogal.	Azawan walks, exerted; that is how it works.	I

The sakes

A sake is a kind of payoff. A sake word is a sake root, mid-word th, a stance vowel, and an ending. It takes only -l, -m, -r, never -n. Put it on /ɡ/ after a noun that is yours, or on /th/ for the event.

Which sake

Serves	Detracts from	Sake	Taught in	Stage
thadotham	thadothum	understanding (sense-making / learning)	Word shape	B
thahutham	thahuthum	autonomy (choice / agency)	Word shape	B
thametham	thamethum	purpose (direction / meaning)	Word shape	B
thanatham	thanathum	relatedness (bond / belonging)	Word shape	B
thebetham	thebethum	beneficence (making someone better off)	Word shape	B
thegatham	thegathum	unspecified (potential)	Word shape	B
thoyutham	thoyuthum	physical (body / health / safety / shelter)	Word shape	B
thozotham	thozothum	pleasure (sweetness / enjoyment)	Word shape	B
thulotham	thulothum	competence (readiness / efficacy)	Word shape	B

Which stance vowel

Agazan	Use	English	Ending says	Stage
tha	the belonging or event pays off this sake	serves / met	time horizon	B
thu	it subtracts from this sake	detracts from / unmet	changeability	B
the	the act ought to serve this sake	ought this act for	why it is offered	I
tho	the act is done for this sake	doing for this sake	time horizon	I

Ending	Met tha	Unmet thu	Ought the	Motive tho	Stage
-l	…thal lasting	…thul irreversible	…thel invited	…thol lasting	B / I
-m	…tham unstated	…thum modifiable	…them offered	…thom unstated	B / I
-r	…thar immediate	…thur passing	…ther worth a try	…thor immediate	B / I

The scale runs -l most settled, -m the default, -r most passing. When unsure, use -m.

Job	Example	English	Stage
Serves, on a noun	zahazal gulotham.	My house serves competence.	B
Serves, lasting	zebel ganathal.	My gift serves relatedness in the long term.	B
Detracts	zugul gulothum.	My book detracts from competence (modifiable).	B
Costly now, good later	zugul gozothur gulothal.	My book is a slog for now, but builds lasting competence.	B
On the event	zazawan vezebel thulotham.	Azawan tells, and that serves competence.	B
Not your noun: gobum	zabezam wahuthur gobum.	the gathering, passing harm to autonomy	B
Ought	zazawan vezebel thanathem.	Azawan ought to tell to serve relatedness (offered).	I
Motive	zazawan vezebel thanathom.	Azawan tells for relatedness.	I
Whose stake: the person in /b/	zazawan vezebel thanathom balahen.	Azawan tells for Alahen's sake.	I
Not your noun, their stake	zebel ganathal balahen.	My gift serves Alahen's relatedness.	I

Thanks and sorry

A lone met word is a whole sentence about you: my sake is met. Sorry is about their sake, so name them in /b/.

Agazan	Use	English	Stage
…thal	the help lasts	that will stay with me	I
…tham	horizon unstated	thank you	I
…thar	landed right when needed	thanks, that got me through	I
…thul behon	the harm is lasting	I'm deeply sorry	I
…thum behon	the harm can be softened	I'm sorry	I
…thur behon	the harm is passing	my bad	I

Job	Example	English	Stage
Thanks	thanatham.	That meant a lot to me.	I
Moved	thanathamar.	I'm so moved.	I
Sorry	thanathum behon.	That hurt your sense of connection.	I
Sorry, to another's sake	thanathum balahen.	owns up to a harm to Alahen	I
Appreciated by another	thanatham balahen.	Alahen appreciated it	I

Speaker attitude

Your feeling about the whole claim, on /th/ with -m. It is never the subject's.

Agazan	Use	English	Stage
thevegem	you want it, and it is still open	hopefully	I
theledem	it went well by chance	luckily	I
thewedam	it concerns you	worryingly	I

Feelings

An emotion is built on one word: the sake word, a locus, then a motion ending. Example: wulothur + ao + -r is wulothuraor.

Locus: where it sits or points

Locus	Hook	Use	English	Stage
a	in	internal	mine, held inside	I
ao	over	the atmosphere	hangs over the room	I
uo	through	unplaced	I can't place it	I
o	at	aimed	annoyed at, grateful to	I
oe	toward	seeking	turning to someone for comfort	I
ue	against	resisting	objecting to	I
e	for	on behalf	upset for	I
u	from	away	avoiding, fleeing	I
ua	out of	collapse	giving up	I
ae	using	fawn	placating	I

Motion: how it moves

Ending	Use	English	Stage
-l	still	held, frozen, numb	I
-m	flowing	steady, a pace you can ride	I
-r	surging	waves or spikes	I

Motion is how the feeling moves, not how strong it is. For strength, put a degree word on /w/ before it. A direction /b/ names the landmark, so it cannot also name whose stake.

Agazan	English	Stage
zezebel wulothuraor gobum	anxious about the dialogue	I
zozazom wanathumual gobum	given up over the division	I
zebeyom gulothamar	proud of the draft	I
zumel wanathumem gobum bazawan	upset for Azawan about the memo	I
zezebel wanathumum gobum balahen	avoiding Alahen over the dialogue	I
zezebel wanathumaem gobum balahen	placating Alahen about the dialogue	I
zumel wanathumoem gobum bazawan	upset, turning to Azawan for comfort	I
zumel wanathumuer gobum	objecting to the memo	I
zezebel wamethumal gobum	the dialogue feels pointless	I
zebeyom gebethamam	glad my draft helped	I
zezebel wamazam wulothuruom gobum	a little uneasy, and I can't say why	I
zezebel wulothumuer gezehom	the dialogue is frustratingly slow	I

Job	Example	English	Stage
A feeling with no object	thulothuruor.	I'm anxious.	I
Name its cause	thulothuruor thavem berehel.	I'm anxious, and the rain caused it.	I
A feeling about an event	zalahen vowogal thanathamar	moved that Alahen walks	I
Naming it plainly	zn ganegel	I am angry	I

Allowed and required

Each is a /th/ word on the clause. The ending says where the rule comes from: -l a rule, -m a person (the speaker, or the /b/), -r custom or nobody. When unsure, use -m.
