Quantifiers

Quantifiers are roots that indicate amount. They are:

• tut = wholly
• part = at least some
• half = exactly 50%

Their meaning depends on the next root:

• “em”: quantity
• other roots: quality
• gender: the concept

Example:

• tut + manon = wholly man
• tut + manidu = wholly masculine
• tut + em + manson = every man
• manon os tuteon = the whole of a man

You can prepend “tan” to get negated quantifiers:

• tantut: not at all
• tanpart: at least some isn’t
• tanhalf: 50% isn’t

Finally, nek + half means not exactly half.
