Some are very specific like {kxynx}, thinking someone is wrong but not wanting to argue with them, others general like {fax}, love of people, or {pwiq}, taking delight in something fun or nifty. By contrast, there are no basic words for concepts like English "good, beautiful, funny". Words to express those qualities are formed from mind-state root words with the suffix {-fwa}. For instance: prym-zox sxru miq-i. I enjoy the music. prym-fwa nxiqn-i sxru miq-i. The music is beautiful. Note that the {nxiqn-i} comment phrase can come before the {miq-i} topic phrase. Generally, the different parts of a sentence can come in any order, but within each part (topic, comment, verb phrase, location or motion phrase) the words must be in a certain order - first the main noun, then adjectives, finally a postposition or a verb suffix.
