Correct ^_^

Yes, as far as I know.
What do you mean by a personal number?

Where they need to be.  I am working on the oder of all inflictions, such
as:  [mood]-ROOT-t-[mood]-a-(r)
or something similar to that ( I just threw that together, I am going to go
into more thought for this... )


>How do you know which one to use on negative and interrogative?
It depends on the first char, if it is a Vowel, a Consonant, and which flows
better in the rules of Spoken Thoughts.


>What's "approximative" mean?
"He seems to"...

You mean for Probability?


>Are the prefixes added in the order you gave them?  So, would "hearsay

Like I said before, I am working on the order...
