Last night, a new system of explaining both velocity and acceleration=20
independant of each other came to me in a dream. It has to do with=20
indicating positive acceleration by the word "plawe" (second) following a=20
word modified by a preposition when it is positive. When deceleration=20
occurs, the expression djeyplawe (negative-second) is used:=20
may-car
da-towards (infixed as "-ad-" before first V of word it modifies
ca-house
ja-away from (infixes to "-aj-" as above)
sa re m-ad-ay idy
I the towards-car move
I approach the car
sa re m-ad-ay plawe idy
I the towards-car second move=20
I approach the car (accelerating)
a=FE ya vajuump c-ad-a djeyplawe
she-Past he follow towards-house negative-second
she followed him into the house (decelerating as she did so)
hej re cr-aj-ucxe djeyplawe nif-l
they the away.from-monster negative-second run-Future
They ill run away from the monster (decelerating, the implication being is=20
that the monster will catch them)
I havent really tried this system with less linear prepositions (like=20
fi-through), but what does everyone else think? is there precedent, is it=20
feasible or even sufficiently useful?
