add some Korean phonological influences? like final devoicing
Rõktiap -> dative: Rõktiabel
fewer CVC syllables / more CVCV... words
maybe even stop+nasal -> nasal+nasal (could be in the Zienruol dialect?)

<!-- How do the words in your language look? How do you derive words from others? Do you have cases? Are verbs inflected? Do nouns differ from adjectives? Do adjectives differ from verbs? Etc. -->
===Nouns===
Nouns inflect for case and number. There are two numbers, the singular, which is unmarked, and the plural, which uses the suffix -''i'' for nouns ending in ''s'' and -''s'' otherwise. For example:
* ''qiim'' (flower), ''qiims'' (flowers)
* ''ᴋol'' (language), ''ᴋols'' (languages)
* ''ʜeik'' (shark), ''ʜeiks'' (sharks)
* ''lias'' (mound), ''liasi'' (mounds)
* ''ttões'' (beaver), ''ttõesi'' (beavers)
There are 18 cases in Rõktiap:

[To be revised]
 
There are only two verbs in Rõktiap: ''qua'' (to do) and ''tre'' (to be). These are extremely irregular, and ''tre'' is defective in that it doesn't have progressive forms:
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! !! Simple !! Progressive !! Perfect
|-
| Past || ''ȝuum'' || ''ȝuon'' || ''ȝiums drun''
|-
| Present || '''qua''' || ''quan'' || ''ȝiums tre''
|-
| Future || ''uᴋor'' || ''uᴋõn'' || ''ȝiums nrup''
|}


-->
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! !! Simple !! Perfect
|-
| Past || ''drun'' || ''triis drun''
|-
| Present || '''tre''' || ''triis tre''
|-
| Future || ''nrup'' || ''triis nrup''
|}
 
Rõktiap often relies on circumlocutions for many verbs that can't be translated directly from English:
 
:'''''Dii·nõn kein·too ttos tre.'''''
:1SG.ABL 2SG.DAT love be.PRES
:''I love you.''
 
:'''''Ttões·ma ʜõip·s·hos qiup qiim tre.'''''
:beaver.GEN eye.PL.INESS one flower be.PRES
:''The beaver sees a flower.''
 
:'''''Buot·no·ma ɢaim·s·bo qiup säi ʜeik ȝuum.'''''
:brain.AGENT.GEN hand.PL.ILL one big shark do.PAST
:''The scholar caught a big shark.''
 
:'''''Hʻeik ngiäl·ttel ȝuum, qeik buotno "Quõi"·ttin drun.'''''
:shark earth-TRANSL do.PAST, CONJ scholar "Wow".EQU be.PAST
:''The shark died, and the scholar said "Wow".''

Rõktiap is almost completely head-final, except for complementizer phrases, such as those using the word '''lo''' (whether, interrogative marker) and '''met''' (if), which are head-initial.
