Hmm, two gestures for indicating self. Is there an important difference between them? She'll use the new one and bring her hand to her collar, "Maenik," she agrees. "Gu Penþa?" She tries to match the trailing tone shift.

Penþa makes a gesture. "Banak."

They seem to realize that's probably not very helpful. "Banak Penþa pi."

Genilha puts his hand on their shoulder.

"Banak Genilha pi," he interjects, pointing at himself. "Banak Penþa do," he adds, pointing at the new person. "Banak Maenik do," he finishes, pointing at Maenik again.

Then he says a long aside to Penþa, who makes a gesture with their hand.

Oh, pronouns first and second person pronouns. Well either that or a verb conjugated by referent. How to test that... She kneels down again and points to the two figures in turn. "Banak Krae do. Banak Sia do. Jump Sia do," The Sia figure jumps, "Jump Krae do," The Krae figure jumps. She stands up, "Jump Maenik pi," She does a small jump.

The assembled villagers watch the display.

"Krae, Sia," Genilha responds, pointing to the appropriate figures. "Jump Genilha pi," he continues, doing a little hop.

Then he gestures Ðani over and lifts her into the air. "Gu jump Genilha Ðani?"

It's probably not worth trying to clarify the difference between jump and lift. She tries to use the word from earlier, "Dosak."

Now everybody is confused.

Genilha sets Ðani down and they look at each other for a moment.

Then he sets a hand on her shoulder. "Dosak Genilha Ðani," he explains. Then he removes his hand. "Gu dosak Genilha do?" he asks Ðani.

"Dosak," she agrees.

He taps her.

"Gu jump Genilha do?" he asks.

"Jump," she agrees.

He lifts her, and then sets her down a moment later.

He turns back to Maenik and pauses to see if this will solicit a response.

So dosak isn't an affirmative. Alright, she has a new guess for the relevant grammar. Since she hasn't learned a word for affirmative, she tries to use the hand gesture that seems to accompany the affirming responses.

The assembled villagers smile, and Penþa and Ðani make a quiet clicking sound.

Penþa points to her illusion. "Gu banak molh eg?"

Ðani crosses her arms.

So Banak doesn't mean name, maybe it means word? Gu seems to consistently appear in interrogative utterances. She doesn't think she's heard the other two words before at least not in the statements directed at her. So she's being asked a question but she doesn't understand it. She tries to replicate the sort of gestures they used when she misused dosek.

Ðani says something quick to Penþa, who clicks.

She points to Genilha. "Gu banak molh do?"

"Banak Genilha pi," he responds. He points at Ðani. "Gu banak molh do?"

"Banak Ðani pi," she answers. "Gu banak molh pi?"

"Banak Ðani do," he replies. "Gu banak molh eg?" he asks, picking up a stone from the ground and holding it in his hand.

"Banak þomegi eg," she answers.

She points at herself. "Ðani." She points at the stone. "Þomegi." She points at Maenik's illusion and looks questioning.

Alright so molh is maybe a placeholder value for questions. And eg is a pronoun for non-person or perhaps inanimate entities.

She gestures at the illusion, "Banak illusion eg. Banak magic eg." She takes a step into the air so she's unsupported by the ground. She gestures at her feet, "Banak floating eg. Banak magic eg." She steps back onto the ground.

There's a fast-paced discussion. Penþa steps back and leans against the fence around the garden, pulling some string from their sack and starting to tie knots in it.

Genilha points at the stone in his hand. "Gu banak þomegi eg? Banak."

Then he points at one of the houses. "Gu banak þomegi eg? Kaba." He points at his own foot. "Gu banak þomegi eg? Kaba."

He points at her illusion. "Banak magic eg." He points at the sun. "Gu banak magic eg?"

"Kaba." She points at the sun, "Banak star eg. Banak light eg." She points back at the illusion. "Banak light eg. She kneels down touches the illusion then makes the figures disappear from the illusion and replaces it with an animated campfire. She points at that, "Banak light eg."

They consider this for a moment.

Genilha makes a comment to Ðani, who shrugs.
