Notes

The languages is higly inflectional - declensions and conjugations can be found on the main language page. I've already provided the type of declensions above in the notes, and the 1st person singular form of the verbs in case of any changes to the stem or a different pattern of conjugation. Everything else should either be self-exlanatory or you can be found on the main page (I hope I didn't leave anything out).

If the whole thing doesn't make much sense, don't worry, it was the same for me, and maybe (read: most likely) I made it even less senseful. Sorry about that. :P
