LOGLAN WORD-CLASSES reflect the syntactical concepts incorporated in the grammar of the language from symbolic logic and are readily identified by their characteristic phonetic forms (second column from left). Thus any one-letter word is a logical "connective" and is recognizable as a vowel preceded by a glottal stop (.v), Any vowel diphthong (xv) is an "indicator" of the attitude of the speaker toward what he says.		Any open monosyllable, that is, a consonant followed by a vowel or diphthong (cv or cxv), or series of such syllables (cv'cv) is an "operator," a formal logical, mathematical or grammatical element of the statement in which it occurs. Any five-, eight- or 11-letter word containing a multiple consonant and ending in a vowel is a "predicate," a class of words that takes in the nouns, adjectives,		verbs and adverbs of familiar grammars. Proper names may have any length and consonant-vowel pattern, but they must be preceded by the name operator lu, must end in a consonant and must not include lu preceded by a consonant. As the columns at right indicate, the use (frequency range) of these words ia roughly proportional to their length and is inverse to the number in each class.
