This is as much for my own recollection as for the information of anyone else.\ 
I basically use [Eatoaq](https://robin.town/blog/sa-ea-buriaq), with the following notes.

- I write with [prefix reform](https://toaq.me/Prefix_reform), but use official pronunciation.

- I don't like unnecessary ditransitivity; you'll see me use « [ôı](https://toadua.uakci.space/##VGQjJagkP) » a lot.

- I subscribe to the [focus-topic-cleft merger](https://toaq.me/Focus%E2%80%93cleft_merger), but don't use it much.

- I subscribe to [simple focus](https://toaq.me/Simple_Focus) and the [double focus extension](https://toaq.me/Double_focus), and _do_ use _them_ much.

{%- I use conjunctions in hiatus tone as forethought operators, i.e. in Polish notation. « rû nhashı́ nhagú rá nhasáq » is `AND(nhashí, OR(nhagú, nhasáq))`.%}

- I use (roughly) one syntax for modals and adjuncts, which is to say that I sometimes front adjuncts and sometimes interpose modals. For example: « **Kuı** vâ maı jı́ nháo, nâ shao gaq jı́ nháo da. Jıa pua gaq nháo jí **dâı**, vâ shao nháo, lá he maıgeq já jı́ da. » Shúq roadue ní da.

- I consider « bo- » to be a true-passivizer and so use « tı- » for "inverse voice".

- I use « g » to terminate reduced complementizer phrases, especially for the purpose of combining OI with adjectives.

- I also sometimes use « ca- » to echo-resumptively terminate subclauses when I forget to extrapose them.

- I never underfill full complementizer phrases, but I consider unfilled slots in determiner phrases to be filled according to the head determiner. In particular, indefinite DPs are existentially quantified in unfilled slots, while definite determiners have « ráı » in unfilled slots. For example, « tú fu » = « tú fu sa raı » and « hú aıse » = « hú aıse lo raı ». The only deviation from this is in « báq » phrases, where unfilled slots get « báq raı ».

- I frequently use overt adjunct heads, especially « [ı̂uq](https://toadua.uakci.space/##iGVz0emo4) », « [nûao](https://toadua.uakci.space/##cqtdPusTB) », « [ı̂aı](https://toadua.uakci.space/##ZxxlL0NdG) », « [ôq](https://toadua.uakci.space/##70rCWf6zQ#70rCWf6zQ) », and « [lû](https://toadua.uakci.space/##_odzwFLN5) ».

- I consider stacked phrases involving modal particles to expand so: « he noeq X » → « he juna, vá noeq X ».
