Punctuation is a useful but rather bizarre phenomenon, since spoken language doesn't use it; instead we use a number of paralinguistic cues, context (which should work just as well in written language) and gesture.
All the usual punctuation marks are realized morphologically and pronounced in nerurav. Instead of question marks there's a particle indicating general uncertainty (for yes-no questions), as well as a prefix that, attached to a noun, verb, adjective or adverb, indicates an uncertainty in the word its attached to; "what...?" becomes "?noun", "when...?" becomes "?tense", and so on. Exclamations follow a similar construction. Parentheses, quotation marks, anything indicating an inserted clause are marked by suffixes so that the clause can be interspersed with words from outside the clause. A pause between sounds has a particular symbol indicating a beat of silence, and the full stop at the end of a sentence, pronounced as a hum, is the symbol for pause along with the marker indicating that it's voiced.
