[[File:Modern Barakhinei alphabet.gif|500px|center]] | |||
Barakhinei uses its own alphabet, that is derived from the [[Cad'inor]] alphabet. The modern orthography is adapted from the mountain alphabet that was used during the Dark Ages, when paper and ink fell out of fashion and instead writing was restricted to carving on stone and wood. | |||

====Stress==== | ====Stress==== | ||
==== | In Barakhinei, stress usually falls on the last closed syllable, e.g. ''ov'''o'''ri'', ''kal'''e'''n'', ''cham'''o'''r'', '''''a'''nu''. Words that dont fit this rule are labeled in the lexicon. | ||
=====Additional rules===== | |||
* Epenthetic vowels are not stressed(e.g. ''ch'''i'''tor'', ''er'''ê'''sûl'') | |||
* Roots ending in ''-l'', ''-kh'', or ''-th'' are usually not stressed('''''ê'''shtôl'', ''d'''o'''rôth'', '''''e'''zarkh'') | |||
* The derivational suffixes ''-nor'', ''-il'', ''-el'', diminutive ''-ek'', and the ''-dêsht'' in powers of ten are never stressed(''ek'''u'''nor'', ''il'''a'''dil'', '''''ê'''ndel'', ''h'''e'''dêsht'', ''k'''ê'''ntek'') | |||

====Nominal declensions==== | |||
Barakhinei has retained all three genders of [[Cad'inor]](masculine, feminine, neuter) and four of the cases(nominative, accusative, dative, and genitive; only the ablative has been lost), but the accusative and dative merge in the plural. | |||
