Goda ten zoysi banana.   We have zero bananas.  (Which means nothing more or less than we have no bananas).

Zoysi pe sta dom.  Zero people are at the house.

It's a simple step to make a compound, Zoype.  If we need a word for nonentity, we can make one.  Zoyvalpe.  Zero-value-person.

Ray:-> Hmm, it does seem to work OK with "zoy", doesn't it.  Maybe "zoy" works better than "sin"!  Would it still be necessary to have the word "kayn" if we can use "zoy" for the same purpose?

No.  Not at all.  If everybody's happy with zoype, etc,. I am.  Trouble is, now we really need to change koy to something.
