soakue is a dictionary for Toaq that uses data from Toadua (updated daily), as well as category data from Toakao/Predilex. you can download it to use it offline, and it works even when Toadua is down. on the other hand, you can't use soakue to define new words or vote on existing words.

thanks to emnresu, &, and Lynn for contributing!

in = and ~ searches you can also glob different types of letters:

glob matches
C a consonant
V a vowel
F a diphthong (aı/eı/oı/ao)
Q a final (m/q)
R a raku
X a Toaq letter
_ a space

and these automatically get Toaqized always:

thing matches
i ı
v w y ꝡ
x '

next to a word there will be up to 4 mysterious orange things.

the first one will look something like (c 1i). this is the "serial frame", which you can learn about on the wiki.

the second one will look something like (n d). this is the "distribution frame". d means if you put a plurality into that slot of the predicate, that's equivalent to saying each member of it also satisfies it (i.e. the slot is "distributive"); n means that doesn't happen

the third one will be one of hó máq hóq tá ráı, which is the animacy pronoun the subject binds. (in case of bo- usage etc the object always binds tá)

the last one is what type the subject is. here's a nice diagram Lynn made:

subject type animal thing event proposition example
agent ok (+ must be deliberate) jara "run"
individual ok ok tuoq "heavy"
shape ok ok ok sao "large"
free ok ok ok ok gı "good"
event ok bıe "before"
proposition ok laheq "entail"
