Appendix: quick reference

The four, at a glance

Particle	Gloss	Source	The debt you take on
`hi`	DIR	senses met the event	you were there; you can be examined on it
`ke`	INFER	senses met evidence	you can produce the evidence when asked
`ti`	REP	another's words	you name the chain, or own its anonymity
`ho`	ASSUM	pattern and expectation	you yield gracefully when the case defies the kind
—	(unmarked)	ordinary assertion	plain confidence; the system's resting state

Position

Slot 1, in the ruled order: Tense > Aspect > Voice > Evidentiality > Modality > Negation.

shia to si ke ma wepu.

(They were not leaving — as I read the signs.)

The founding contrasts

pheralu to hi lepa.        (rain fell — I saw it myself)
pheralu to ti lepa.        (rain fell — someone told me)
pheralu to ke lepa.        (rain fell — the ground is wet)
pheralu to ho lepa.        (rain fell — it is the rain season)

One fact, four honest speakers. The claim never changes; the speaker's location behind it does.

Boundary rules, one line each

Memory of witnessing is still hi; reconstruction is ke.
Sound and smell witness their own events; what they merely indicate is ke.
A witness's hi becomes your ti: reliability travels, witnesshood does not.
Your own inner life goes bare; other minds take ke, ho, or a question.
Evidence about the case is ke; knowledge about the kind is ho.
ho grades your belief; po describes the world's possibilities.
shola…sholo copies evidentials; it never adds them.
Settled knowledge goes unmarked; marking it manufactures doubt.
