1. zhen is the verb that was mentioned in the previous lesson. It means “to be a person.” Laiqbun has verbs like these instead of using the verb “to be”. You can turn any verb into a noun by changing its first vowel into an a. This makes a word that means “things that does [verb].” zhan means “thing that is a person,” which is jsut a long way to say “person.” This can be done to every verb in Laiqbun.
2. tem is another example of the above, it means “to be a house.
3. len is a verb that means “to be present somewhere,” it can be used as a general way to say something is in, on, or at something.
4. heo is a word that means “to consume,” which means it can be used for both eating and drinking.
5. Saying that something is “in this” is Laiqbun’s way of saying that it’s “here.”
