 ## A practice companion to the manual
 
-A child sees a snake at the well. A friend hears the news, an elder finds a trail, and a parent expects the snake to avoid the gathering. The event is one; the routes to each account are not. Phi can make those routes audible with four particles: `hi` for direct perception, `ke` for inference from particular signs, `ti` for a report, and `ho` for background assumption.

Phi can make those routes audible with four particles: `hi` for direct perception, `ke` for inference from particular signs, `ti` for a report, and `ho` for background assumption. One well, four worn paths. This pamphlet walks them one at a time.
 
-The manual's chapter 16 owns the definitions. This pamphlet supplies room to compare them, place them in the Slot 1 stack, and practise the places where one source shades into another. It also keeps apart several questions that are easily bundled together. A source marker is not a guarantee of truth, a grade of confidence, or a certificate of good faith.
+The manual's chapter 16 owns the definitions. This pamphlet supplies room to compare them, place them in the Slot 1 stack, and practise the places where one source shades into another. It also keeps apart several questions that are easily bundled together: a source marker says how a claim arrived, and nothing else about it.
 
-By the end, the four particles should be easier to hear and place. The exercises move from the snake at the well into reported speech, negation, questions, short narratives, and an optional journal form. A clause takes no more than one evidential; when two routes matter, Phi gives each its own sentence.
+The four particles are a small, complete map of the ways a claim can reach a speaker: through the senses, through reasoning, through another person, or through expectation, and the whole of it is four syllables long. By the end, all four should be easier to hear and to place. The exercises move from the snake at the well into reported speech, negation, questions, short narratives, and an optional journal form. A clause takes no more than one evidential; when two routes matter, Phi gives each its own sentence.
 
 This pamphlet assumes the particle system in manual chapter 9, tense and aspect in chapter 14, and the complement frames in chapter 19. It is a companion to manual Part IV, chapter 16.

+The same sight can be asserted without an evidential: `mia suliwa nila.` The unmarked form names no source. Adding `hi` puts the speaker on record as a direct perceiver.
 
 News and testimony are common places for that distinction, but grammar does not require it there. A speaker may leave provenance unstated. Choosing `hi` makes a source statement that another person can question.

The boundary can require judgement, especially when a perception is incomplete. The particles record the route the speaker chooses; they do not decide whether the choice was good.
