Interlinear: |
pu : as
lo : you
wosi : to wish
-n :
In Elko, there are only two punctuation marks: the dot and the comma (even if '?' and '!' can also be used). To mark the type of sentence we use the last vowel of the sentence:
a: exclamatory sentence
e: interrogative sentence
i: injunctive sentence
o: declarative sentence
If the sentence doesn't end with the desired vowel, you can add it as a final particle. But it is also possible to use a -n which allows to take the suffix of the preceding word.
. pu lo wosin . = . pu lo wosi o . |
