The particle 'zo' marks the morpheme or compound before it as a unit, bereft of its ordinary Ceqli meaning. In any case I can think of, this would have to be a name. Consequently, these names are themselves morphemes (marked by. and including the ending 'zo.') So....
go ten japan. I have go-bread (perhaps the hobbits' 'waybread') go duel japanzo. I live in Japan. Now, for national-names, to be specific, you can say: japanzohaim, japanzobol, japanzojin but you don't have to if the context is adequate: go japanzo bol. I speak japanese (japanesely, a la Esperanto) go bol japanzo. I speak japanese. kraunzo bu bi japanzo. Larry is not Japanese.So 'ti' would serve mostly to mark long expressions as names, and I suggest we hold such things to a minimum — to haimgubo hu japanzo is not a name, despite its current uniqueness. But the USA, I think, would be 'ti hanho haimki hu hamerizohaim', or a name. So the country is the HHH in Ceqli.
