Pha Word Types

With yesterday's discovery came the ability to really begin work on the foundational concepts of Pha (an artificial language I am creating).  The first step was to begin designating word classes.  In natural languages, these designations are somewhat difficult to make, since the language tends to be too complex to allow such simplification.  By creating classes first and adding words later, I can ensure that words are only added where they fit.

here is an example list of English word classes (this is just one systematization):
Noun, Verb, Participle, Adjective, Adverb, Conjunction, Preposition, Pronoun, Interjection.

Now, my plan for this language is that it should be broken up into multiple dictionaries by specific purpose and use.  These libraries can add new types of words as a way to expand the language.  This also allows for libraries which hold a shape similar to natural languages.  Therefore, my basic word types are INTENTIONALLY too simple for many types of thought and speech.  They represent the bare minimum that one can work with, and all other libraries expand on them, never the other way around.

The four main word classes are (understand that the names I use are only an English equivalent):
Mode - a way by which we can understand any Thing.
Thing - something which exists as a State in one or more Modes.
State - the sum of all Things in a Mode.
Act - the change of a Mode's State.

Examples (since my explanations are woefully inadequate):

• of Modes: Time, Blue-ness, Courage, Brightness. (similar to the noun)
• of Things: Chair, London, (similar to the noun, but this does not contain ideas)
• of State: Now, Blue,  Courageous (similar to adjective. Degree will not be in the common library.)
• of Act: Move, become Blue, Brighten (very similar to verbs)

There will be a Mode Library.  If the Mode Libraries a Thing requires are in use, then the Thing itself can be used.  By considering both the Mode and the Thing, one can recognize States and Acts that are possible.
