  1. A language code assigns: 1=p, 2=a, 3=t. The sequence '1-2-3' spells which word?

    Answer: pat

    Substituting each number gives p(1)-a(2)-t(3), which spells 'pat'.

  2. In a fictional language, all words ending in the symbol '★' are nouns. The word 'breltu★' is therefore a:

    Answer: Noun

    The rule states any word ending in '★' is a noun, so 'breltu★' must be classified as a noun.

  3. A test language uses the symbol 'X' to mark word boundaries. How many words appear in: 'brak X felo X mitu'?

    Answer: 3 words

    Two X symbols create two boundaries, dividing the string into three words: brak, felo, and mitu.

  4. In an invented writing system, a symbol enclosed in brackets [ ] indicates a plural noun. If 'dren' means 'a tree,' then '[dren]' means:

    Answer: Many trees

    The bracket rule marks plural nouns, so [dren] means 'trees' (multiple trees).

  5. A fictional alphabet has 6 symbols for vowels and 14 symbols for consonants. A three-symbol word alternating vowel-consonant-vowel draws how many symbols from the vowel set?

    Answer: Two vowel symbols

    The V-C-V pattern has vowels in positions 1 and 3, so exactly two vowel symbols are used.

  6. In a test language, the symbol '↑' placed before any word raises its pitch and '↓' lowers it. The phrase '↑ma ↓la' has which pitch pattern?

    Answer: First syllable high, second low

    '↑ma' is high-pitched and '↓la' is low-pitched, giving a high-then-low pattern across the phrase.
