Pitch-Accent

Primary stress^[*] is realised with an increase in the pitch^[*], while secondary stress has a decrease in the pitch.

Primary and secondary stress are both predictable accoridng to these rules and Primary stress always goes before secondary, that is if primary stress and secondary stress were to overlap the primary stress will be the one that is realised.

Phonotactics

The syllable structure is decently complex where the onset^[*], the consonants prior to the vowel, and the coda^[*], consonants after the vowel, both can take two consonants. The onset and coda acts both independed of each other and can take the following forms.

The umbrean verbs are conjugated for tense, aspect, mood and voice mainly. There is a residual conjugation for person and the grammatical gender of items but much of it has been lost. The conjugation is done by a primary vowel first followed by some sounds. The primary vowel is depended on which tense, mood and which gender and or person of the subject, agent or object noun is, which of the three depends on the verb.. The vowel comes in three classes, First, Second and Third kind. The vowel table tells which vowel is used while the Voice-Aspect-Tense, VAT, table tells which set to use on which VAT combination along with the remaining sounds around.

Circumstantial Voice:

An important differens for the Circumstantial voice is that it requires a particle infront of the verb. The postposition that it is meant to replace is used as a particle in its naked form, no addition of affixes due to gender or person.

Negation:

Negation is done though the VAT vowel, it changes from the +, positive or affirmative coloumn, to the -, negative or negation coloumn of the same sort along with agreeing like the vowel normally is.

Mood

The mood is conjugated on the polarity vowel and the consonant prior.

F: Any Fricative

A: Any Affricative

P: Any plosive

N: Any nasal

	Indicative	Optative	Subjunctive	Imperative
1	-F	-Fm	-Fmj	-Fp / Fb

3	-P	-Pff / -Pvvj	-Plw	-PP^L
4	-N	-Nlw	-Nll	-NN^L
5	-l	-lts	-lǧw	-lv

^L:These forms the sound is geminized.

Participle

In umbrean participles serves two purposes, the first one is similar to english where it takes on an adjective characteristic describing a noun, "The walking man", but with the differens of having one for every tense.

The second is for relative clauses, "The man whom I like" where the verb is turned into a participle but the sentence itself remains otherwise the same, and is like unlike english placed infront of the noun it describes.

To get the subject or object back into the clause one uses the Postpositions Kë and Pjë, both highly irregular, before the participle with the noun in their proper case.

Active voice cannot be used in participles.

To form a participle the conjugated verb is taken with the addition of a vowel which is depended on the tense in question and a consonant which depends on the gender of the subject that is being relativized, doesn't matter which of the two uses, and the voice in question.

Participle Tense Vowels

Gerund

The gerund form of the verbs are used to create noun clauses similar to english "That" clauses. "I know that he is a nice guy"

The gerund is formed by adding these endings to the conjugated form and is depended on case and the polarity of the verb.

Supine

The supine describes actions done for the purpose of something. In english it is often the infitive form of the verb, "We walked over to Ronald To help him".

Supines don't take conjugational affixation but rather these to mark positive or negative, to do or not to do it.

Positive	Negative
-lii	-lüü

Modal Forms

Umbrean verbs can take on 4 modal forms which is used for both modality purposes as a verb but can also function as adjectives on their own.

Verb form

The verb form is used along as any normal verb, the positive form and negative form refers to the polarity of the modality. While there is general derivation of each of the three forms some verbs do not follow it and have other forms in the quadrouplet.

Adjectival form

The adjectival form works as the name itself suggests like an adjective, the suffixes are put onto the verb and then treated like a normal adjective that has to take on adjectival affixes. The anti-passive form focuses on the subject while the passive one focuses on the object.

Adjectival Modality
	Verb form		Adjective Form
	Positive	Negative	Passive	Anti-passive
Base	-Ø	-yǧ	-	-
Gerundive	-ot	-oss	-ošt	-off
Abilitative	-idw	-izw	-imj	-imml
Hypothetical	-ëpj	-ëvj	-eešf	-ešš

Gerundive: Marks that the noun it modifies is needs or ought to be the object or subject of the verb
Abilative: Marks that the noun it modifies is can or is able to be the object or subject of the verb
Hypothetical: Marks that the noun it modifies could be the object or subject of the verb

Postposition

For more information on Postpositions see Umbrean/Postpositions

Being a head final language the Umbrean language utilizes postpositions rather than prepositions and adpositional phrases would come before the noun. "On the table" would be said as"The table on" and a noun phrase like "The cat on the table" is said "The table on the cat", in an essence the opposite of english. Similar to greek and other languages the case of the noun that is within its phrase affects often the acctual meaning of the postposition.

Postpositions are inflected according to Gender and Case of the noun within its phrase, if it is first or second person it is inflected according to the living gender.

If the postposition does not get an inflection on it, it is a particle used for the circumtational voice for verbs.

2nd	-ug	-ëtt	-ekk
1st	-aaf	-ëtt	-oss	-yy

Pro-Forms

As a highly fusional and inflectional language the umbrean language is rich in its morphology of pro-forms. The pro-forms retain some ancient cases which is used as nouns and it has no adverbial pro-forms like english "here" or "There" which is replaced with nouns. Quite a few things can be confusing for an english speaker as Umbrean makes distinctions that english does not.

Determiner^[*]: They occure before the noun and refers to the noun somehow. "This hat" "That hat" "Some hats"

Demonstratives: These are diectic in their nature, refers to a noun by context. "This hat" "That hat" "yon hat" "This is fun" "That was fun"

Quantifiers: These refer to most often an unfixed quantity, with the exception of "All" or "no", "All men" "no men" "Some men" "few men"
