Láadan/Lessons/10

Perceiving with the senses
Láadan is more explicit than English in stating how something is perceived. Externally, you can perceive with your eyes, ears, skin, and so on. Internally, you perceive your emotions.

The word "láad" means "to perceive", and this would be used whether perceiving something with your eyes, ears, or other senses. To be more specific and to say something like "see", "hear", "feel (through touch)", etc. you would use the Instrument marker to specify that you are "perceiving with your eyes", "perceiving with your hands", etc.

Perceiving internally
The word "loláad" means "to perceive internally". For these, we don't need to use the Instrument marker, because emotions are internal.

Examples
For these examples, the object marker "-th" is used on the emotions. This is grammatically correct, but unnecessary, as it is clear without the object marker - Joy cannot perceive living things. 

I know because I perceive
"wa" is a common Evidence Morpheme used in sentences, and can be used for both internal and external perceptions.
