Upon reflection, I've decided that "e" for "and" is a bad idea. I think I'll go back to "kay". For "or", I can't use "aw," because that is now the imperative ending. I actually think that "kor" would be the way to go here. Other short words should not interfere with roots. That is, I decided that too many borrowable roots begin with "al," so I started using "Ad" for to, towards. Now I'm thinking that too many roots begin with "ad" for that to be optimum. We could go with English "tu," or German "tsu" or even "nak" (Me iras nak la domo) But nak is a little uneuphonius, if that's a word. It needs to be able to combine with other prepositions, because T doesn't use the 'motion towards' accusative form. "Tsu" is also a little weird looking, and, come to think of it, we could just go with "zu" - a spelling borrowing rather than a sound borrowing. Me iras zu la domo. Me iras zu dan la domo. I like it. Same goes for Eo "el", meaning out of or from. Possibilities are keeping el, or using ex (esh)or using eks, or Russian "iz", or squeezing two roots together and making it "del". I'm actually inclined towards "del". Have to keep in mind that I'm trying to minimize the possiblity of misleading things like 'sukero,' not eliminate them entirely. That, I'm sure, would warp T way too much. I await reactions. It's lonely in here.
