Punctuation?

Is there punctuation? How do you know if a question is being asked? Is it just context clues?

In Dovahzul, you need to use coordinating conjunctions such as "Ahrk"(and), "Nuz"(but), "Uv"(or)... Otherwise the context is sufficient to understand a text. But this is only in the game, it doesn't prevent you from using punctuation marks if you want to write a story in Dovahzul.

On the other hand, questions in Dovahzul are formed by flipping the subject and the verb. "Hi koraav dovah" (You see the dragon) simply becomes "Koraav hi dovah?" (Do you see the dragon?).

Pruzah wundunne :)
