Common Kai first
This site teaches ordinary Common Kai before sacred, symbolic, or Lumin work. Beginners should keep Sacred Kai as later specialist material until the plain sentence is stable.
- Find the practical Common Kai meaning.
- Say who or what is acting, needing, asking, or being described.
- Open sacred, poetic, or Lumin notes only after the plain reading is clear.
