WaterWords is a tiny constructed language focused on water by Jack Eisenmann.
I don't really understand what the difference between "narrowing" and "non-narrowing" is.
"Narrowing" suffixes assert that members in the noun instance should be removed if they do not satisfy the relationship of the verb in the current sentence.
I'm not sure what it means to not satisfy the relationship of the verb.
it seems akin to the difference between a restrictive and non-restrictive relative clause. for example:
non-narrowing: Lil ela kac. Kak isuca. → All of the cups, which I own, are full. (I own every single cup that exists, and they are all full)
narrowing: Lil ela kalc. Kak isuca. → All of the cups which I own are full. (this is exclusively a statement about the cups which I own)
