First Post Woo!
Okay, we've now got some user info, for what it's worth.
I'm going to need to post up a list of the vocab I've been using, but alas I am not currently at my home computer so don't have my lists. Instead, I come to you with a question... about questions. Specifically, how do people (well, how does Jen right now) think they should be phrased? I'm a big fan of the Japanese question-particle か, so was thinking something along those lines.
I've noticed all the current question words start with ta, however when phrased in English not every question necessarily has a question word in it; the best example I can think of off the top of my head is Is it?. Nahnodh is currently being used as the verb 'to be', but there's nothing currently to differentiate "It is" from "Is it?". Kryptonian has no known punctuation (that I'm aware of!), so it makes sense that simple question sentences not including a specific question word would have a particle. I propose 't' (phonetically pronounced similar to w; i.e. tuh) for this function. So "Is it?" becomes Nahnodh t?, which also distinguishes it from "What is it?" (Nahnodh ta?).
Good, bad? Discuss.
