Capstone: Building Twelve Terms From Nothing
Captions available
The idea
This capstone builds twelve terms from parts alone, applying the joining rules at every join.
In practice
One root taken through the procedure suffixes, then one suffix taken through four roots.
Where people slip
Every one of these twelve was built by the three joining rules, without a dictionary.
Your place on the trail
Every lesson rests on earlier ones and opens later ones. Tap any to jump.
