Nouns
Nouns are not declined for case.
There in no grammatical gender besides natural gender (similar to English).
Plural is usually formed in -(e)s.
The possessive is formed in -'s (-' after -s).
Adjectives
Adjectives precede the noun they modify.
Adjectives do not decline for case, gender, or number.
Comparative
The positive comparative is formed in two ways:
- The suffix -er.
- Preceding the adjective with the word flore "more".
The decision of which method to use primarily depends on the length of the adjective.
Superlative
The positive superlative is formed in two ways:
- The suffix -est
- Preceding the adjective with the word flost "most".
The decision of which method to use primarily depends on the length of the adjective.
Adverbs
Adverbs of manner
Manner adverbs are formed from the corresponding adjectives with the suffix -ly.
Comparative and superlative
The comparative and superlative of adverbs derived from adjectives are identical to those of their corresponding adjectives.
Articles
Precede the noun they modify.
- Definite article: the /ðə, (stressed) ðiː/
- Indefinite article (only in the singular):
- Before consonants: a /ə, (stressed) eɪ/
- Before vowels: an /ən, (stressed) æn/

Verbs
Principal parts
For the majority of verbs, the full conjugation can be determined from three principal parts: the bare infinitive, the simple past, and the past participle.
These forms are given in dictionaries. Otherwise, the infinitive is used as the citation form.
When the simple past and past participle are identical, the past participle is omitted.
Verb classes
Verbs may be regular or irregular.
Irregular verbs form their past stem irregularly.
Personal endings
The following personal endings are used in the present tense:
- -(e)s in the third person singular (archaic: -(e)th)
- -(e)st in the archaic second person singular
Other present tense forms use the basic infnite stem.
Besides the above, only the highly irregular verb to pow "to be" has differing personal forms.
Tenses
As in English, continuous tenses are formed with the verb to pow followed by the present participle, and the perfect is formed with the verb to cap "to have" followed by the past participle.
The future is formed with the modal verb will "will" followed by the bare infinitive of the main verb (or auxiliary in continuous/perfect tenses).
Voice
The passive is formed with the verb to pow "to be" followed by the past participle.
Non-finite forms
Infinitive: to + present stem
Bare infinitive: present stem
Present participle: present stem + -(e)nd
Past participle: past participle stem
Negation and Interrogation
Negation of verbs is ordinarily accomplished using the word not /nɒt/ "not" (which can be abbreviated as -n't).
Negation and interrogation use the conjugated helping verb to tie "to do" followed by the bare infinitive. This construction can also be used in positive sentences for emphasis. Examples:
- Ear chew side. "I live here." > Ear tie not chew side. "I do not live here." / Ear tien't chew side. "I don't live here."
- Se mulls. "He speaks." > Ties se mull? "Does he speak?"
- She eats. "She eats." > Ho ties she eat? "What does she eat?"
- They wit. "They see." > They tie wit. "They do see."
Modal verbs do not use the helping verb. Examples:
- Ill pote newn dorm. "He may not sleep." / Ill pote'n dorm. "He mayn't sleep."
- Note: Unlike in English, the abbreviation pote'n "mayn't" is not archaic.
- Derry ill mange? "Should he eat?"
Archaically, non-modal verbs can likewise form their negation and interrogation without the helping verb. Examples:
- You cant newn. "I sing not."
- Dorms ill? "Sleeps he?"
- Keeth manges ell? "What eats she?"
