THE RULES · CONVERSION TABLE · QUIZ

RULE 01 · DIRECTION

Kalapazhi reads right to left. Words separated by heavy vertical stroke — the kodu (கோடு). Sentences end with double bar . No spaces between letters.

RULE 02 · THE FOUR GLYPH LAWS

Heavy Downstroke: Every letter anchors on a thick vertical spine. Hard consonants: heavy. Soft (RA, LA): lighter spine.

Angular Branch: 45° or 90° only. No curves. No rounds.

Demon Tooth (Pallu): Upward notch at top-right. The mark that says: this is not Tamil.

No Closed Forms: Nothing ever fully closes. Nothing in this realm is ever fully closed.

RULE 03 · TWO TENSES ONLY

Before and After. No present tense. The moment of speaking is not grammatically real.

RULE 04 · VERB FIRST

Tamil: Subject → Object → Verb. Kalapazhi: Verb → Object → Subject. The action is named before the agent. What happens matters more than who caused it.

Tamil: நெருப்பு அவனை கொண்டது
Kalapazhi: KONDADU · AVATA · TERUPA
"Took — him — fire"

RULE 05 · NO WORD FOR "I"

No first-person pronoun. The self is a suffix on the verb. The ability to say "I" as a separate word is something Tamil gave to people that Kalapazhi never had.

RULE 06 · TA vs THA · THE DISTINCTION TAMIL SOFTENED

Kalapazhi keeps ட (retroflex TA) and த (dental THA) as completely separate glyphs. TA is the pillar. THA is the split.
