Words

Words are made up of syllables, a syllable must consist of a consonant followed by a vowel, in that order. There are no exceptions.

Questions

Add a question mark and change the tone.

Pronouns

There are six pronouns, called « kykasu ». These pronouns also serve as possessive pronouns.

Pronouns can be omitted if implied, and are constantly omitted when they are impersonal. A pronoun must necessarily refer to something or someone.

Tenses

The tense is indicated by a word placed before the verb called « kykani ». This word consists of a first syllable, which indicates the aspect (which describes the action) through the consonant and the tense is indicated by the syllable.

Aspect	Letter
Unstarted	C
On-going	H
Ended	L

Tense	Letter
Past	A
Present	I
Future	E

This word can then be supplemented by optional syllables that add nuances.

Nuance	Syllable
Negation	dæ
Positive will	nu
Negative will	næ
Positive obligation	fu
Negative obligation	fæ

Adjectives

Adjectives are used in three different ways. Their position in the sentence determines their use.

The first use of an adjective is to replace a verb. It is then translated as « to be [adjective] ». It replaces the verb in the sentence, coming after the kykani.

The second use is as an adjective, which qualifies a noun. It is placed after the noun and can be stacked.

The last use is as an adverb, qualifying a noun phrase. It translates as « in an [adjective] manner » and is placed at the end of the noun phrase.

Subordinating conjunctions

Subordinating conjunctions are called « kykasa ». These are placed at the beginning of a noun phrase.
