                      continue with 'fam2'), but you can override this by entering something under 'fam1'. For areal colors (American, Khoisan,
                      Paleosiberian, etc.), you will be prompted for a 'fam1' entry if you do not provide one. If 'isolate' or 'unclassified' is used, the

Green are permitted clusters, red are non-permitted clusters.
Green are permitted clusters, red are non-permitted clusters.
===Syllables===
* Onset sounds: All Consonants except /kʼ/, all vowel sounds except /ɑɪ/. If it is the beginning of the word short vowels are not permitted, except the vowel sound /ɪ/ (with few exceptions).
* Nucleus sounds: All vowels, /v/, /l/, and /m/.


<!-- Explain the consonant clusters and vowel clusters that are permissible for use in the language. For example, "st" is an allowed consonant cluster in English while onset "ng" isn't. -->
* Coda sounds: All Consonants except /p/, all vowels. If it is the end of a word only long vowels are permitted, unless the word had a suffix removed.

* For Pulmonic Consonants, ⟨p⟩, ⟨v⟩, ⟨m⟩, ⟨d⟩, ⟨r⟩, ⟨k⟩, ⟨s⟩, ⟨z⟩, ⟨ja⟩, ⟨f⟩, represent /p/, /v/, /m/, /d/, /ɹ/, /k/, /l/, /z/, /ʐ/, /f/.
 
* For Ejectives, ⟨tʼ⟩, ⟨kʼ⟩, represent /t'/, /k'/
 
* For Africatives, ⟨ts'⟩, ⟨ge⟩, represent /ts'/ and /d̠ʒ/
 
* For Vowels, ⟨e⟩, ⟨a⟩, ⟨o⟩, ⟨u⟩, ⟨i⟩, ⟨é⟩, ⟨á⟩, ⟨ó⟩, ⟨ú⟩, ⟨í⟩, represent /ɛ/, /ʌ/, /ɵ/, /ø̞/, /ɪ/, /i/, /e/, /o/, /y/, /ɑɪ/.

===Nominalization===


Nouns
*Agent Nominalization - To change a verb to the agent nominalized form use the primary verb (dropping the "lz" infinitive ending) + the suffix "kaz" (meaning one who does). Ex, the verb "lekzferlz" (meaning to hunt) drops the "lz" and add "kaz". So the agent nominal form is "lekzferkaz" (meaning hunter). Example sentence, "Krét' lekzferkaz lekzferlz." (The hunter hunts).

==Tenses==
===Past Tenses===
There are 2 past tenses in Puhval, past imperfective and pluperfect.
* Past Imperfective - Used when the action was ongoing, repeated, and/or habitual in the past. To apply the past imperfective tense, add the helping verb "Kazlz" (To Do) in it's conjugated form, prior to the primary verb. Ex, "Mek kazl datʼem", (J'ai (helping verb 1st person form)  parlé) or (I talked).
* Pluperfect - Used when talking about a event in the past that has ended. To apply the pluperfect tense, add the helping verb "Kazlz" (To Do) in it's conjugated form, and add, to the primary verb, the suffix(es) "Ké" if the subject is animate or "Dé" if the subject is inanimate, dropping the "lz" infinitive suffix. Ex, "Vek jadas fadítʼev kazd jadlz, vek kazd fajaké", (Après tu avais bu d'eau, tu a dormi) or (After you drank water, you slept).

===Interrogative clauses===
 
*Polar Interrogative clause - To apply the Polar Interrogative clause push the main verb to the start of the sentence with tense and adverbs following and adjective before verb. Drop the "lz" and add "lt'" to the end of the primary verb. Ex, “Jadlt’ t’ek jad”, literally meaning “Drinking you water?”
 
*Opinion Interrogative clause- To apply Opinion Interrogative clause use the word “Lldólt'’” before the subject. Ex, “Lldólt vek t'emú”, literally meaning “Feel you about mom?”.
 
*Standard Interrogative clause- To apply an Interrogative clause use the “Vikúlt'” meaning being, followed by the determiner “Vk’á” meaning what, before the subject. If you want to ask for the time , follow “Vk’á” by  “kret ddim”. To ask about a place, follow “Vk’á” by “kret vvem”. To ask why, follow “Vk’á” by “dret vfem”. To ask why, follow “Vk’á” by “dret kazlz”. Ex, “Vikúit’ vk’á kret vvem”, literally meaning “Being what the time?”.
 
===Imperative clauses===
*Command Imperative clause - to apply the imperative clause, repeat the subject pronoun/noun.
 
===Conditional clauses===
 
*Standard Conditional Clause - To apply the standard conditional clause add the prefix "ja" to the primary verb. Ex, "Kré pikó jazjardetʼitʼ" (A (Animate) bird is killed (Conditional, Present Continuous form)).
 
==Noun Classes==
 
 
===Determination of Class===
Nouns are split into 2 different categories being Animate and Inanimate. There are 3 reasons a noun is animate rather than inanimate,  If it does not fit into any categories it is inanimate.
 
1. It is living or once living.
 
2. It is a place in which humans, animals, and/or spirits have inhabited in.
 
3. It is related to time. Ex, "Ddim" (Time).
 
====Noun Case Fluidity====
Nouns can change class to add additional meaning depending on context.
 
*Inanimate to Animate - To imply importance and/or spiritual value to a noun.
 
*Animate to Inanimate - To imply a place is untouched by living things (such as a new home), or to imply insult/hate to the noun.
 
====Examples====
 
*"Kamat'" meaning person, is animate. Ex, "Krét Kamat' simv vikú" (The (animate definite) person good is.)
 
*"Ómmék'" meaning Horse, is animate. Ex, "Krét' ómmék' fadí vikú" (The (animate definite) horse old is.)
 
*"Ddim" meaning time, is animate. Ex, "Vikùlt vk'á krét ddim" (Is what the (animate definite) time?)
 
*"Ts'emá" meaning table, would normally be inanimate, but say if it was in a family for generations, it could be considered animate. Ex, "Drét' ts'emá kat' vikú" (The (inanimate definite) table big is.) and "Krét' ts'emá kat' vikú." (The (animate definite) table big is.)
 
===Articles===
 
Within Animate and Inanimate classes articles are split into three article types: Indefinite, Definite, and Definite Plural.
 
*Indefinite - An article used when the noun is unspecific or being introduced
 
*Definite - An article used when the noun is previously specified or is specific noun considered  common knowledge
 
*Definite Plural - An article used when the noun is previously specified or is specific noun considered common knowledge and plural
