Introduction

This language is my first polysynthetic language and is my attempt at making one. This language is rather an experimental one - and I rather take it as my introduction into this category of languages and thus I don't think I'll make this language any lore or anything like that.

Phonotactics

All consonant clusters except geminations are permissible. Vowel clusters are not allowed - if after either merging two words or affixing two vowels end up next to one another, <w> is put in between the vowels, except if either of them is a nasal vowel; in this case, <ɉ> is used.
