Observations of the Fox

Today we continue our slog through the various core noun forms. This is a slow slog, and it's intellectually tiring to connect ephemeral concepts to something that makes sense. But once we've gotten through these, I promise we'll get back to some more interesting linguistic gymnastics. Common Concrete Countable Non-Living Nouns – [N] i/I auoi o e The first batch of these generally represent objects that may be created, modified, consumed, and destroyed (thus explaining their “impermanence”).  Nia 1 – Impermanent common concrete countable non-living noun of momentary conception (tool) Niu 2 – Impermanent common concrete countable non-living noun of momentary invigoration (food/fuel) Nio 3 – Impermanent common concrete countable non-living noun of momentary maturation (trade commodity) Nii 4 – Impermanent common concrete countable non-living noun of momentary stagnation (barrier/shield/protection) Ni o 5 – Impermanent common concrete countable non-living n...

Proper Nouns – [N] a/A (Still thinking about these) Common Concrete Countable Living Nouns – [K] o/O auoi o e The first batch of these generally represent types of people who come and go (thus explaining their “impermanence”).  Koa 1 – Impermanent common concrete countable living noun of momentary conception (baby) Kou 2 - Impermanent common concrete countable living noun of momentary invigoration (child) Koo 3 - Impermanent common concrete countable living noun of momentary maturation (young adult) Koi 4 - Impermanent common concrete countable living noun of momentary stagnation (old adult) Ko o 5 - Impermanent common concrete countable living noun of momentary destruction (dying person) Koe 6 - Impermanent common ...

I’m going to start by looking at specific types of nouns, and use a certain consonant and vowel to open the syllable. We’ve still got options to add an extra vowel into the syllable (creating a diphthong), and a consonant to close up the syllable. Here’s how I’m starting… Proper Nouns – [N] a/A Common Nouns – [K or N] o/O, i/I, o / O , or e/E Concrete Nouns – [K or N] o/O or i/I  Countable Nouns – [K or N] o/O or i/I             Living – [K] o/O             Non-Living Countable Nouns – [N] i/I Uncountable and Mass Nouns – [N] o / O Abstract Nouns – [K] e/E Collective Nouns – [K] u/U Pronouns – [D] a/A Here’s my logic… Proper Nouns use short or long “a” sounds, because the “a” vowel sound is linked...
