-do means player. This is why triangle is bindo, as to say, "3 player" or "player 3".
-ba, I assume, means not. I assume this beacuse "woba" means "is not wo" and "yeba" means "is not ye"
-to, I assume means tile. this is why zotito (the blue tile) has "to" at the end. Same with every other tile, although they can all be used without the "to" at the end. (As in, instead of zotito, it might just say zoti.)
-an, for the best I can desricbe it, is the direction but reversed, plus the original. this is why "bu" just means "above," but "buan" means "above or below".
I haven't encountered any of the words at the end, but with my current knowledge it should be, "player 11," "blue tile reversed player???????" and "below yellow tile"
Spoilers: i made a cheat sheet for some of the game to track terms, i didn't finish tho, i played up until Rani Merbin. Don't expect to finish the whole game using this sheet. (this is a really fun puzzle game translating is fun)
i was also stuck on merbin! i know von is related to quivon and gevon, but how? also, buponan = bu + pon + an, so maybe an modifies pon to be horizontal. it feels like pon means right, and von means left, but idk. other than that, this is basically what i wrote down too!

I'm working on a new project based on a similar concept, with an alien script instead of random english letter combinations.
I got pretty stuck on Rani Binya. I think there's just something I'm not understanding about ci, nao and ja. Very fun, though
Cleared and I have a fairly complete dictionary, I think, including the suffixes. Excellent game - I think my favourite of those I've played this jam!
Bonus question:
1. What do these suffixes mean?
-do
-ba
-to
-an
2. What do these words mean?
jajado
zotiando
metge

Brilliant!
Though a little bit short, as it only took me about "kowbin" minutes to finish, but its ingeniousness is still surprising. Nice work!

Fun deciphering the language! :)
I still don't understand some of the later levels. In rani merkow shouldn't the rule say "jado ye **te** ponan"?
