Common Kai first
Story and Kaiven pages may invite mythic or inner readings. Read the scene as Common Kai first: who is present, what happens, what changes, and what grammar carries the action.
- State the plain scene before symbolic meaning.
- Mark particles and clause order before register notes.
- Treat inner reading as commentary, not as the basic translation.
spaced review
grammar return practice
Start here before the new lesson work. These earlier patterns are deliberately returning in a later lesson.
Story Unit 03: Description, Mood, Contrast, and Character Voice
Mix this pattern with the current lesson's main form so retrieval happens in a new context.
- attributive description with head quality
- avoiding quotation before dialogue unit
- character perspective through repeated descriptive choices
- comparison with rali sharali saini viri
- contrast with ri
- mood as feeling en character or atmosphere en place
- predicate qualities with e
- result with liri
- voice nouns and voice qualities
Story Unit 05: Reasons, Conditions, Consequences, and Choices
Before new material, explain the older pattern aloud and write one fresh Kai sentence with it.
- advice with sai li
- cause with na
- choices with vai
- conditions with an va
- consequence with liri
- decision scenes with mino te
- obligation with lano li
- possibility with an-vai and anvai
- purpose with li
- unreal or remembered conditions with um and an-vai
- why questions with yana

Rewrite each line with a clear Common Kai frame.

Add symbolic texture while keeping grammar clear.
Add place: light at the door.

Add one symbolic sentence before it: breath was on the road.
Make it a sacred quote: "May Kai be in you."
