I think that "[morpheme]Lq[sfx]Lu[ [[ccc]] ]" is not to be considered a [[classifier compound]] since the [[classifier compound classifier]]: [ [[ccc]] ] does not attach to the suffixal word: [morpheme]Lq[sfx]. I think then... that perhaps terms like these should just be called complex terms... This term would be a suffixal word and a [[classifier compound]]...
There's potential ambiguity when allowing the rustem/nycj of a prefixal word to be a compound and allowing the first term of a compound to be a prefixal word... Perhaps I won't allow a prefixal word as the first term of a compound... It may be inconvenient at times. But those times may be few anyways...
Example: "[prefix]Lw[morpheme]Li[morpheme]" Is this a prefixal word with a compound rustem or is it a compound with a prefixal word as its first term...? Is it:
"[prefix]Lw[morpheme][morpheme]" or
"[prefix][morpheme]Li[morpheme]"?
If I don't allow a prefixal word as the first term of a compound there'll never be any ambiguity. Example: [pfx][pfx][pfx]Lw[ [[member classifier]] ]Li[pfxal word]Lq[sfx]Lu[ [[classifier compound classifier]] ]
The first rustem is the compound: [ [[member classifier]] ]Li[pfxal word].
The suffix and the [[classifier compound classifier]] each attach directly to the prefixal word which is: [pfx][pfx][pfx]Lw[ [[member classifier]] ]Li[pfxal word] whose rustem is: [pfx][pfx]Lw[ [[member classifier]] ]Li[pfxal word].
I would like to be able to use a prefixal word as the first term in a compound though because of English compounds such as: care-giver which I would convey as: giver-care (giver that give care). I may create a prefix seperater that indicates that the prefixal word is the first term in a compound... So: if a prefixal word is the first term in a compound the prefix seperater would change from "Lw" to "Lx". A prefixal word with a rustem that is a compound that has a prefixal word as its first term could look like this: [pfx]Lw[pfx][pfx]Lx[morpheme]Li[morpheme]. ::shrugs:: Don't know yet.
giver-care would be [pfx]LxgiveLicare.
"drink" in "x1 eat and drink" can't be a secondary relater because it can't happen simultaneously with "eat". One cannot be in the process of eating while at the same time be in the process of drinking. One may have food and liquid in their mouth at the same time but that doesnot mean that they're eating and simultaneously drinking. So: secondary relaters are always relaters that subject or direct object do simultaneously with the primary relater.
In "x1 eat x2 in x3" both "eat" and "in" are selbri that x1 do simultaneously. "eat" is the primary relater only because I... focused in on it. It can just as easily be a secondary relater. A reason to convey another simultaneous event that a S or DO is in is to make more specific the overall event that they're in.
So: secondary events don't exactly narrow the primary event. The primary event is just the one chosen by the conveyer for whatever reason. Both the primary event and any secondary events are part of an overall event. A secondary event doesnot make more specific the primarary event. The primary event is a part of the overall event just as any secondary events are.
The duration of the overall event is determined by the primary event. The duration of the primary event is determined by the time it takes to complete or stop the primary relater.
A simple event may consist of one primary relater.
A complex event may consist of one primary relater and one xor more secondary relaters.
A simple sentence may consist of one simple event xor one complex event.
A complex sentence may consist of two xor more simple sentences.
Simple events don't exsit in reality because the S is also always in a time, location and aspect. But if we're just talking about what's being conveyed then you can have a simple sentence which describes just a simple event.
Power of N units are necessary because of long strings of consecutive zeros to the decimal point. Not to mention any language specific problems that could exist with no power of N units.
Method to determine the width of intertermal spaces and characters, and intercharacteral spaces when all the intertermal spaces and characters are the same width:
p(a) = width that expression is to be written in = [result] ( formula: measure the width )
f(a) = number of terms in expression = [result] ( formula: count the terms )
m(a) = number of intertermal spaces = [result] ( formula: [f] subtract 1 )
t(a) = number of intertermal spaces and characters = [result] ( formula: count the intertermal spaces and characters )
c(a) = number of intercharacteral spaces = [result] ( formula: [t] add 1 subtract ([m] multiply 2) )
s(a) = number of intertermal spaces, characters and intercharacteral spaces = [result] ( formula: [t] add ([c] divide xor multiply [ratio of width of character]) )
n(a) = width of intertermal spaces and characters = [result] ( formula: [p] divide [s] )
k(a) = width of intercharacteral spaces = [result] ( formula: [n] divide xor multiply [ratio of width of character] )
