hemul, em infix makes general present participle, -ing.
ubos::-family

3 Dear God, To Whom all things are possible.
  Filisiad Inom, uGol zupo ayhes ro je.

%-iad is the adjectival past participle, -ing as an adjective.
The s breaks an illegal 3 vowel string before the last two vowels.
Altogether, "loving" God.

to you. Personally it is an impersonal general term for
the highest powers or ordering principles of the universe.

to umi, to me, the dative of mi, meaning "to the One".
"zupo","all","every",

All nilenga modals are second order logic claims about propositions,

"je","have/be",,

4  Let the Nula family be one and united.
   Xap ku ubos Nula je ol et duload. (didul, idol)

All nilenga modals are second order logic claims about propositions,
%xap::-permits that:  x permits that y  make "p" true.
Here x is presumably Inom, y is Inom or a human agent unspecified.
The proposition p is "the family Nula is one and united"
ku the
ol , the number one.
"dul","join",,
duload, -oad is the adverbial past participle, in be united, united
(duload) functions as an adverb modifying be. The general form, didul,
where id is infixed before the first vowel, u, could also be used.

5 Let the Nula children be loved by all their elders.
  Xap ku zuenes Nula ron fiuh fili zupo sus vaksores.

zuen::-child, from Stephen's proposals.
%ron::-necessarily   x says necessarily "p" is true.
Necessary modals are always true, this is one way of specifying
past, present, and future.
%FIUH type of modals.
fiuh::- when x1, the first argument of P, is the subject of P and
        the patient in P; P is true.
        Abel fiuh pa kill Cain.
        Abel(the patient) was killed by Cain.
%fiuh  makes the subject of the proposition (zuenes) the patient,
and the object (vaksores) the agent.

"kiov,for the purpose of (para) ",,,

*bir-::- Functional sex role prefix.
A prefix which converts a biological gender to a role gender. The role
may or may not coincide with the biological gender of a person.
Example: A man plays a woman in a play. He is a birdulin, a role-woman.
A macho-man is a birdumin as well as a dumin.  I define that marriage
means one role-woman united with one role-man.  The roles in the
marriage may alternate but there must be one of each role-human.
Asexual same-role relationships can be a friendship but not a marriage
under this definition.  The actual sex of the pair does not matter
under this definition. Sexually the birdumin usually penetrates, the
birdulin is penetrated. The entire psychology of the roles played in
the binary relationship are factored in.

I have crafted this definition to eliminate heterosexual bias from the
language; if it does not do so, or if the previous proposals cover
this, please retranslate the above and I'll retract it. Personally I am
heterosexual and monogamous, but I abhor mandatory discriminating and
divisive classifications; especially those sexual ones built into
English. This system gramaticalizes simple options.
