## Color Words
L'ewa uses a RGB color system like computers. The basic colors are red, green
and blue, with some other basic ones for convenience:
| English | L'ewa |
| ------- | ------ |
| blue | blanu |
| red | delja |
| green | qalno |
| yellow | yeplo |
| teal | te'ra |
| pink | hetlo |
| black | xekri |
| white | pu'ro |
| 50% gray | flego |
Colors will be mixed by creating compound words between base colors. Compound
words still need to be fleshed out, but generally all CVCCV words will have
wordparts made out of the first, second and fifth letter, unless the vowel pair
is illegal and all CCVCV words are the first, second and fifth letter unless
this otherwise violates the morphology rules. Like I said though, this really
needs to be fleshed out and this is only a preview for now.
For example a light green would be `puoqa'o` (`pu'lo qalno`, white-green).

# Sentence Structure Semantics
## Independent Clause Structure
Most of the time L'ewa sentences have only one clause. This can be anything from
a single verb to a subject, verb and object. However, sometimes more information
is needed. Consider this sentence:
```
The dog which is blue is large.
```
This kind of a relative clause would be denoted using `hoi`, which would make
the sentence roughly the following in L'ewa:
```
le wufra hoi blanu xi brado.
```
The particle `xi` is needed here in order to make it explicit that the subject
noun-phrase has ended.
Similarly, an incidental relative clause is done with with `joi`:
```
le wufra joi blanu ke brado
the dog, which by the way is blue, is big.
```
## Questions
There are a few ways to ask questions in L'ewa. They correlate to the different
kinds of things that the speaker could want to know.
### `ma`
`ma` is the particle used to fill in a missing/unknown noun phrase. Consider
these sentences:
```
ma blanu?
what is blue?
```
```
ro qa madsa ma?
you are eating what?
```
### `no`
`no` is the particle used to fill in a missing/unknown verb. Consider these
sentences:
```
ro no?
How are you doing?
```
```
le wufra xi no?
The dog did what?
```
### `so`
`so` is the particle used to ask questions about numbers, similar to the "how
many" construct in English.
```
ro madsa so spalo?
You ate how many apples?
```
```
le so zasko xi qa'te glowa
How many plants grow quickly?
```
