Trace Deeplects

Trace Deeplects are incomplete portions of languages that have been detected in experiments attempting to verify the Deep Dimensional theory. While the strongest evidence for Deep Dimensional is the languages that have inexplicably appeared, MARA experiments have found trace amounts of languages in their investigations, giving it more credibility. However, measurement error is not ruled out. This article will contain all the information on every Trace Deeplect.

Grammar
Gloss	IPA	Description	Examples
CAUS.GNO	jɾa-	production, resultation, consequence (gnomic and nouns)	kesˈteltɔ jɾaˈmiawa (earth brings life)
CAUS	ko-	caused (tense, verbs only)	kes'teltɔ koˈmiawe̤ (earth is causing life to exist)
MOA	-a,ɔ > -e̤	verbalizer (motion of agent, MOA). MOA verbs receive an adverb? auxiliary verb? after, showing the precise action taking place if it isn't clear from the primary verb (it would be clear if the prim. verb was "to go to" but not if it's "to water"). unclear primary verbs used without secondary verbs are said to simply "be occuring" or "be existing".	ˈbiːje̤ (approaching water) kesˈtelte̤ (kicking the ground)
MOS	-a,ɔ > -ʕu	verbalizer (motion of secondary thing, MOS). MOS places the object after the verb. objects and "secondary verbs" (referenced above) do not differ in marking	ˈbiːjʕu (splashing water on someone/watering something) kesˈteltʕu (kicking dirt at something/someone)
MOP	-a,ɔ > -a(ʕim)	verbalizer (motion of patient, MOP). MOP places its object before the verb. -ʕim is only added for formality, emphasis, or syntactic disambiguation.	ˈbiːja(ʕim) ~ spraying water around kesˈtela(ʕim) ~ kicking up dirt

whether a verb is conjugated to MOA/MOS/MOP is determined by which action the speaker wants to focus on the most, even though usually 2 or 3 of them will be actually occuring

topic pronouns (marked for person, number, and obviation) are clitics that attach to a particle with some of their grammatical information (cases).

25. other case particles can be derived using class-less variants of words, which can get prefixed to a non-topic noun

• sometimes the particle may be used alone instead of the pronoun clitic.
• the pronoun clitic can be attached to a word to show stronger volition toward that aspect of the action described in the sentence (i.e. TOP=[verb] for showing stronger intent for the action than the object, or TOP=[object] for the opposite). stronger volition toward one aspect often implies weaker volition or intent toward the rest (TOP=[verb] may imply accidentally affecting the object, and TOP=[object] may imply accidentally performing the action, but meaning to do something to the object).
• both or either of the pronoun clitic and particle may be omitted. omission only occurs in the event of redundance.
• there is a subject case particle.
• other NPs are listed in the beginning of the sentence in order of decreasing relevance. their cases (and conjunctions) are expressed in affixes, not a particle.

• every part of speech has its own set of classes (they do not correspond to each other).
• modifiers are added by affixing the modifiee's class suffix and changing the modifiee's suffix to -aː (this assumes all classes affixes will be suffixes but maybe i wont do that)
  1. kesˈteltɔ modified by beˈʔaɾa (cooled lava ground) > kesˈtelt-ɔ beˈʔa-ɾa > kesˈtelt-aː beˈʔa-ɾa-ɔ > kesˈteltaː beˈʔaɔ
• noun classes (suffixes and prefixes):

1. -a, -ɔ ~ fluid, changing (animals, thoughts, breath, wind, clothing, some gods)
2. -ɾa ~ dangerous (lava, fire, poisonous food, weapon used, some gods)
3. zũː- ~ machinery (car, computer, lock, some weapons merely existing)
4. kʰ- ~ valuable natural item (diamond, gold, ivory)
5. tʰe- ~ material for use (wood, paper, ink, glue, metal, cloth)
6. -ʔiː ~ natural (plants, sun, moon, dirt, some gods)
7. -nõ ~ human, human-related concept, or thing altered by humanity (person, domesticated animals, weapon created, gods from secular perspective)

• verb classes (suffixes):

1. -e ~
2. -l ~
3. -a ~

• adjective/adverb classes (prefixes):
• unmarked ~ quality
• xe- ~ identity
• o- ~ relation
• adposition classes (suffixes):

• when creating a phrase or description, go with more actually-occurs options before hypothetical or culturally-specific ones (i.e. kesˈteltaː beˈʔaɾɔ is a ground of cooled lava, not the ground being molten lava as is pretended in the game "the floor is lava", since the former is more likely to be used in a real situation than the latter)
