[comments] Although Ungwa is indeed polysynthetic, due to how daunting it would be to read and pronounce([meta]and was before I implimented this system[/meta]), there are dashes and underscores in words but this is not arbitrary, both of these marks denote different meanings which can be found below and also act as a redundant feature from the native writing system of Üñła which uses a constant line with various marks for the different graphemes.
Dashes:
Dashes are these guys -
You will see them between separate words, for an example in English imagine-if-we-wrote-sentences-like-this
This is used to separate words that are not related such as a verb and the subject i.e ho-düñ meaning he thinks, while there is a connection between the two, "ho" is not an affix to the verb so it counts as its own word which means that we put a - between the two
Underscores:
Underscores (these guys _ )are used for when two concepts are related but aren't separate words so unlike ho-düñ, an example in English would be un_accept_able where they all come together to form one word, unacceptable
In Ungwa then an example would be ho-düñ_us where "us" is an affix because it conjugates the verb düñ and so we put an _ between them.
