| Notes 1 | After every subject, an identifier appears to clarify the tense of the verb. Ga (present), gu (past), ge (future), - the infinitive's u (command), and go (subjunctive/imaginary/what if?) tense. |
|---|
| Notes 3 | Compound verbs are connected with an i. "otoku i oaku" |
|---|
| Notes 4 | The cha after pronouns signifies possession. |
|---|
| Notes 6 | Chi is "and". It can be separate, but if it comes after a verb or subject, it is connected to them unless there is a comma or semicolon between them. |
