- ah PRES-FREQ-fall like-gold-F DIR foliage-F in wind-PL
- Ah! How leaves fall like gold in the wind!

Vowels
a e i o u ä ə /ɑ e i o u æ ə/
Stress
Stress is usually penultimate.
Phonotactics
Häskä allows initial clusters, like Windermere and Tsrovesh.
Morphology
Häskä morphology is roughly equally prefixing and suffixing.
Nouns
Häskä nouns have a natural gender system. Nouns denoting females or that end in the feminine suffix -o (after C) or -s (after V) are feminine. Inanimate nouns, and animals that are not dedicated words for males and females, can be used in both genders interchangeably.
Plurals
Unusually for a Lakovic language, plurals are formed with a suffix -k or -äk:
- sumät /sumæt/ = wind
- sumätäk /sumætæk/ = winds
If the word is treated as feminine:
- sumäto /sumæto/ = wind
- sumätok /sumætok/ = winds
Case markers
Here are the basic case markers:
- id, i = nominative
- u = accusative
- kə = genitive
- mi = locative
- žə = "like"
Pronouns
- ri = I
- šen = thou (m)
- šes = thou (f)
- fin = he
- fis = she
- bäñ = we two (inc.)
- nə-ri etc. = plural pronouns
Verbs
Häskä verbs are highly inflected; they inflect for tense, aspect, voice, mood, and gender agreement.
Verb template: negative-gender/mood-tense/aspect-⟨voice⟩ROOT-pluractional
Verbs are negated with di-.
Derivational morphology
- yə- = adjectivizer
