I'm still under the impression that spaces don't matter in "pure" Ceqli,
that they're just a visual aid, because words always begin at a full
consonant (or cluster).

Of course, Ceqli as it is used will probably tend to have particles left
out so that spaces actually do matter, but in "ta diq" it really doesn't
make a difference.
