Phonotactics
- Words cannot start with /s/ or /h/.
- /h/ cannot occur intervocalically or follow another consonant.
- /s/ can only occur word-finally.
- Words cannot end with /g/ or any consonant cluster.
- Vowels (except for diphthongs) must be separated by a consonant.
- Word-initial consonant clusters are limited to [plosive]+[liquid] (i.e. {ptkbdg} + {lr}), but not /tl/ or /dl/.
- Intervocalic clusters may be:
- Any geminates except /gg/, /ss/, /xx/, /hh/, /ww/, or /jj/.
- Any [plosive]+[liquid] combination (including /tl/ and /dl/).
- Any [plosive]+/w/.
- Any [nasal]+[unvoiced plosive].
- /ngw/
Numbers
The Grayis number system is nonal (base-9), but has reflexes of an ancient system based on multiples of 3, which can be observed in the etymology of the basic numbers.
Grayis | Decimal | Meaning |
---|---|---|
rī | 1 | (1) |
ai | 2 | (2) |
chil | 3 | (3) |
chirri | 4 | (3+1) |
kilai | 5 | (3+2) |
aichī | 6 | (2×3) |
chalayī | 7 | (4×2?) |
nauri | 8 | (9-1) |
nā | 9 | (9) (=10 in nonal) |
Further numbers are formed by compounding using the word ha ‘and’.
Na (Teens) | Dec. | Non. | Ayinnā (20) | Dec. | Non. | Tens | Dec. | Non. | Multiples | Non. |
