Adjectives: Colors; Question Markers

Hi!

Today has a short update. I've decided colors will be treated as a special class of adjectives. That is to say, they don't end with "-khye" like other adjectives. Otherwise, they are utilized as any other adjective.

black --> gnau
white --> ouct
red --> kegg
blue --> wilb
green --> jirp
yellow --> yuobi
orange --> kobbi
pink --> kigi
brown --> zeds
purple --> intô

I've also added a particle marker to indicate a question. It is a prefix, attached to the verb in the sentence: zibi- .

Example:
Jonna nänasht zibizhecripa?
Jon-na nän-asht zibi-zhe-cripa?
"John-he field.DIROBJ QUES.PAST.plow?"
Did John plow the field?

Not much of an update, I know, but I haven't worked on the project lately. I'll think about it some more and make some bigger updates/revisions in the coming weeks.
