ANUM = Anumeral quantifier (no, none)
QLT = Qualitative quantifier (Indicates a qualificative group)
FLX = Flux declension
INI = Initiator declension (Agent, most of the time.)
RCV = Receiver declension
DYN = Dynamic suffix  |
STAT = Stative suffix | (Applies only to spatial postpostions)
EQUATIVE = Equative descriptor (kyó = evolutive physical quality)
DOTATIVE = Dotative descriptor | (tule = immaterial given object)
                                | (dør = physical quality given to)
IMP = Imperative mode
IND = Indicative mode
FUT = Future tense
RTSPC = Retrospective tense (Here "ó" means Retrospective and Future)
POSTP = Postposition
LINV = Linear variator (With the modal/temporal indicator, it expresses
                         a degree of reality. rø = maybe)

Well, that was too easy. Maybe I should start translating the Universal
