We don't see time as a line, but as a tree growing outward. 🌳
ilik (In) = "Before" The past is the Core—where the seedling once was. It is deep inside us.
cihôû (On) = "After" The future is the Surface—where the new growth meets the world.
And ocûo nomû otôs (Bark)? That is the baggage our history pushes outward, protecting and shaping our future.

In English, we use "dummy subjects" like "there" or "it" to state existence (e.g., "There is a person").
In Hîsyêô, you just drop the subject!
When you have a null subject and start with the complement marker li, it creates an existential statement.
Example: ✨ li umo Literal: "[Is] someone" Meaning: "There is someone." / "It is a person."
No empty words needed; just pure existence.

Sometimes the best verb is... no verb!
When sentence lacks verb, it has a null copula. The verb is clear from context.
Why? It makes dialogue efficient and natural. Like answering "Where are you?" with "Here" instead of "I am here," Hîsyêô builds this right into the grammar.
Example: Instead of noyo li gô hoî ôfo ("I am located here"), you can say: ✨ hoî ôfo ("[I am] Here")
A marvelous new open access volume, "The Grammar of Impoliteness," https://www.uplopen.com/books/e/10.1515/9783111477084
The chapter on the anti-honorific prefix in Korean is especially fun.
<p><P></P> <P>The dominant view in linguistics nowadays is that impoliteness is purely a matter of situational assessments by speech participants. This volume challenges that orthodoxy. Bringing together studies on structures that convey insults, threats and more in a wide range of languages, it shows that there is, in fact, a formal side to impoliteness. The volume reveals shared features of and sources for grammatical expressions of impoliteness, explores ways in which their impolite character can be established and offers new insights into their diachrony. </P></p><p>Funded by: Lancaster University</p>
Hîsyêô pushes closer to a loglang (logical language) by focusing on a sound system of meaning rather than linguistic "code golf."
