Reference grammar
This is every rule of Senatola in detail, with examples and reasons. Shorter summaries are on the pages Alphabet, Grammar and Numbers; the lessons teach the language step by step. Many sections say which lesson explains the rule.
The reference grammar has six chapters. Every rule always applies, without exception; whatever can be paraphrased with the existing rules gets no rule of its own.
