Predicate Logic & Copula Usage
1 min read · 148 words
Interstellar Standard strictly separates identity equatives from actions and descriptive states, rejecting English-style pseudo-linking adjectives.
The Equative Copula (a)
The root a functions exclusively as an identity equals sign between two distinct nouns. It cannot be used to link adjectives or states to a subject.
Equative Example |

lu a nem mum |
2 be person good |
You are a friend |
Transitive Sensory Roots
Sensory verbs (hi / see, win/ hear, num/ touch) are strictly maintained as active transitive actions or labile shifts. They never function as passive state-linkers.
