The pamphlets

Focused deep-dives: extended explanation and abundant practice for the features learners find hardest. Each is a companion to the manual, not a rival — read one straight through, or keep it open beside the exercises.

Relative clauses in Phi

The whole description before the noun: pre-nominal relative clauses from first principles to nested patterns, the errors English pulls you toward, and exercises with a full answer key.

Complementizers and embedded clauses in Phi

Thoughts within thoughts: the three opener–closer pairs — statements, questions, quotations — why the closers exist, and enough practice to make them reflex.

Evidentiality in Phi

Four particles for how you know — witnessed, inferred, told, assumed — drilled from the snake at the well to the honest journal. Phi does not ask you to be certain; it asks you to be exact about how you are not.

Counting in Phi: the ternary numerals and the four natures

Three number-words, four group-words, four kinds of being — counting drilled to reflex, and then the harder skill: the honest about, where the sentence gets shorter as it gets truer.

How Phi names people

A name is a word someone carries: ne the spoken capital, kona the raised hand, three honorifics that announce relationship rather than rank — and the family register, where a name at rest is proof of presence.

Punctuation you can hear

Phi writes one mark and says the rest: wa the question mark, shola and sholo the quotation marks, kona the comma of address, ne the capital of a name — and the dictation test that page-bound punctuation cannot pass.

The three slots

The whole grammar is thirty-five small words that never change: the frame, the stack, and the word's dress, drilled to reflex — with the interaction tables, the ruled readings, and the evening question where every particle costs what it claims.

How Phi is written in Tengwar

A second hand for the same language: the fifteen consonant tengwar, the vowel tehtar that ride above and below them, and the one true invention — a hiatus rule that needs no vowel carrier at all, because Phi's own sound rules never leave it needing one.
