== Morphology ==
As in Semitic language, words are based on tri-consonantal roots.  That is vowels, are inserted within groups of three letters to form nouns, verbs, and adverbs.  Four letters are called "weak", and they turn into vowels in predictable ways.  '''Y''' also equals /i/, '''W''' also equals /u/, '''A''' also equals /a/, and '''H''' also equals /e/.
