+## Word Distinctions
+
+L'ewa is intended to be a logical language. One of the side effects of L'ewa
+being a logical language is that each word should have as minimal and exact of a
+meaning/function as possible. English has lots of words that cover large
+semantic spaces (like go, set, run, take, get, turn, good, etc.) without much of a
+pattern to it. I don't want this in L'ewa. 
+
+Let's take the word "good" as an example. Off the top of my head, good can mean
+any of the following things:
+
+- beneficial
+- aesthetically pleasing
+- favorful taste
+- saintly (coincidentally this is the source of the idiom "God is good")
+- healthy
+
+I'm fairly sure there are more "senses" of the word good, but let's break these
+into their own words:
+
+| L'ewa | Definition                         |
+|-------|------------------------------------|
+| firgu | is beneficial/nice to              |
+| n'ixu | is aesthetically pleasing to       |
+| flawo | is tasty/has a pleasant flavor to  |
+| spiro | is saintly/holy/morally good to    |
+| qanro | is healthy/fit/well/in good health |
+
+Each of these words has a very distinct and fine-grained meaning, even though
+the range is a bit larger than it would be in English. These words also differ
+from a lot of the other words in the L'ewa dictionary so far because they can
+take an object. Most of the words so far are adjective-like because it doesn't
+make sense for there to be an object attached to the color blue.
+
+By default, if a word that can take an object doesn't have one, it's assumed to
+be obvious from context. For example, consider the following set of sentences:
+
+```
+mi qa madsa lo spalo. ti flawo!
+
+I am eating an apple. It's delicious!
+```
+
+I am working at creating more words using a [Swaedish list][swaedish207].

+## Family Words
+
+Family words are a huge part of a language because it encodes a lot about the
+culture behind that language. L'ewa isn't really intended to have much of a
+culture behind it, but the one place I want to take a cultural stance is here.
+The major kinship word is kirta, or "is an infinite slice of an even greater
+infinite". This is one of the few literal words in L'ewa that is defined using a
+metaphor, as there is really no good analog for this in English.
+
+There are also words for other major family terms in English:
+
+| L'ewa | Definition              |
+|-------|-------------------------|
+| brota | is the/a brother of     |
+| sistu | is the/a sister of      |
+| mamta | is the/a mother of      |
+| patfu | is the/a father of      |
+| grafa | is the/a grandfather of |
+| grama | is the/a grandmother of |
+| wanto | is the/a aunt of        |
+| tunke | is the/a uncle of       |
+
+Cousins are all called brother/sister. None of these words are inherently
+gendered and `brota` can refer to a female or nonbinary person. The words are
+separate because I feel it flows better, for now at least.

+## Idioms
+
+L'ewa strives to have as few idioms as possible. If something is meant
+non-literally (or as a [conceptual metaphor][cmet]), the particle ke'a can be used:
