Morae: | Morae: (C)V = 1, CVV/CVC = 2, CVVC = 3. Stress is on the third from the end mora (or the first syllable – obviously – if its too short). This is easiest to remember in the writing without vowels: stress is on the third to last letter. | ||

Pronouns: As in Hebrew, they can be independent or affixed. Independent is only used in simple (copulative) sentences. The prefixes attach to postpositions (like Hebrew), they attach to nouns to mark possession, and the verbs to mark the accusative. | Pronouns: As in Hebrew, they can be independent or affixed.

=== Derivation === | |||
_ is a triconsonantal language, like Hebrew or Akkadian. It is largely spell-able without the vowels, once you know the language. | |||
There are very regular patterns for noun and verb creation, which we will document with the very regular word BáLrM, ''to hate''. The lexical form is BóLeM. Where there are two in a slot, the top is exclusive and the bottom is inclusive | |||
