===Phonotactics===
Yaqobian is fairly restrictive in the type of allowed syllables. The maximum syllable is CV(ː)(C). Only the following syllable structures, however, are allowed in Yaqobian:
* ˈCVC
* CVC
* ˈCVː
* ˈCVːC#
* #Cə
* Cə#

==Morphology==
===Consonantal Roots===
Roots in the Yaqobian language consist of a sequence of consonants, called radicals. Words are formed from the addition of vowels and suffixes, and reduplication of root consonants. The vast majority of Yaqobian roots are biradical (2 consonants) or triradical (3 consonants), though quadriradical and monoradical roots are also common, the former mostly formed from combining two biradical roots, and the latter overwhelmingly being common verbs and their derivatives, or determiners.

===Nominal Morphology===
====Case and Number====
Case has mostly dissapeared from Orrovian, but its vestiges can be seen in possessive contructions as well as certain patterns of pluralization.
