Companion leaf · not of the eight
chanut tesn
The short path · marks before grammar
Owns. The carved hand, simplified. Not particles, not cases, not the eight.

Reconstruction sits on this leaf. Named lives are kept. Invented structures are marked.
Romanization under Tesn is on.
Reconstruction
chanut tesn
Ko-Lasha is the tongue. The grammar is Ko-Lasha. Tesn is how it is cut — mute, never spoken. You are not choosing between two languages. I keep both. This leaf is the knife: thirty marks, five determinatives, a line you can carve. How to Read is the tongue: particles, cases, the walk — built here so the eight can be read. The eight are the tongue, already cut. Tionese is the curve; Tesn refuses it. Insight, not feeling. Tesn has no mouth.

Reconstruction
Tesn means behold. It is not a second grammar. The grammar is Ko-Lasha. Tesn is the mute knife of Classical Ko-Lasha — stave in uneti, wedge in clay. Never spoken. No curves. Native writing runs down the spine. This leaf is written across so a gloss can sit under the marks. Ko-Lasha has its own grain: stress the last full vowel of the stem; clusters hold — tsarr, kyb, sxal. That mouth is not Tesn. Mortis kept this knife. They did not speak it.

tesn
behold / reveal — t · e · s · n. Four marks. The last is n, not the known-banner.

Reconstruction
Walk the steps below. Well, sun, cut — why the marks look like they do. Then the known-banner. Then a- the living subject. Then a line you can carve. Do not skip the banner. kol is all. ko- is the. They are not the same mark.
Kas Veran · Keeper of Holocron Tesn
Every Tesn mark is well, sun, or cut — or a small composition of those three. That is why the hand looks like a family, not a pile of pictures. Light leans on the sun. Weight leans on the well. The stave is the path.
Well
Down-wedge or diamond. Potential, water, the Padawan. Weight leans here. Nail-head — the stylus pressing clay.
Sun
Up-wedge. Mas. The pressure of the stylus, light. A rising cut.
Cut
Straight stave. Path, will, uneti grain. Knife down the wood. No curves.
Across the leaf
Howell’s assembly. Left to right, so Basic can sit under the line.
Down the spine
Native sacred writing. Top to bottom — the canticle as a tree of marks.
a e i o u. One mark each. Stress the last vowel of the stem.
The rest of the hand lives in How to Read. These nine open the first sealed line — including g and r, or girkan will not carve.
ko- is a crowned stave with a well. It means the. It only appears when the romanization writes a hyphen: ko-ash, ko-girkan. kol is three letters: k · o · l. It means all. tesn ends in n — a stave with a small well off the side — not the banner.
The known
ko-ash
the light-flow
All
kol
k · o · l — not the banner
Canticle line two
ash tesn kol vorak
light-flow reveals all world-order. After tesn comes kol. No banner.
a- crowns a living subject: a-liv, a-mas, a-nol, a-pad, a-jed. It is a determinative, like ko-. na stands free before the thing denied. It is not a banner. You will see both on the first leaf.
Living subject
a-liv
the living one
Not
na gor
do not hunger-without-leave
lasha
tongue — l · a · sh · a. sh is one mark.
ko-ash
the light-flow — determinative ko- (not k+o), then a · sh.
mas
sun / Master — m · a · s. Twin wells under a sun.
padawan
light well — p · a · d · a · w · a · n.
a-liv
the living one — determinative a- (living subject), then l · i · v.
na gor
do not hunger-without-leave — na stands free. Not a banner.
lasha kem ko-girkan
the first sealed line of Aionomicum I.
Write Tesn
Type Classical romanization. The desk carves the marks. Determinatives light in the accent when you write ko-, a-, ra-, nu-, ve-. Prime (starred) is not Tesn — strip the stars; you will get the mouth, not the carving. Copy a line. Then type it yourself.
lasha kem ko-girkan
Nine questions. The Force does not grade you. The banner does.
Which mark is the known-banner — ko-, the?
Which mark is n — the last of tesn?
kol means —

Native Tesn on a spine runs —
The well-primitive is —
a-liv uses a- because —
Tesn is —
girkan needs which extra marks besides k a n?
the long leaf
When the marks sit, walk Five lessons — real lines from Aionomicum I and the Tesn Path. Then open How to Read Ko-Lasha. That is the tongue. This was the knife. You already have one sentence: lasha kem ko-girkan. That is enough to begin a leaf. The eight wait on the right of the plank.
