A toneme also has a length associated with it, which is understood as "X quarter notes at Y BPM", where X is a number no more than 16, while Y is a number no more than 1000. However, this is not considered a contrasting toneme, but instead a certain number of morae for which all morae contain the same toneme, and the length associated with 1 mora is based on a certain given talking speed. However, once again, neither of these are hard and fast rules. | A toneme also has a length associated with it, which is understood as "X quarter notes at Y BPM", where X is a number no more than 16, while Y is a number no more than 1000.

==Grammar== | |||
{{main|Proto-Protogen grammar}} | |||
The grammar of Proto-Protogen is heavily based on that of Japanese, as the BIOS for the Protogen species (and related artificial intelligence) was created in Japan. The word order is strictly head-final, subject-object-verb, although infixes are also rather common. | |||
===Nouns=== | |||
The particle {{term|J3-J3T-J3T-H3T-J3+}} is used to turn nouns into an adjective based on the noun, and the particle {{term|D5D5T-D5T-D5T-E5TE5TE5TD5+}} verbalizes the noun. These essentially function like the particles な and する. J3 and D5 can technically be any letter as long as the H3 and E5 are changed the same amount, as many dialects also apply key-assimilation to associated particles. However, they are "prototypically" pronounced the way given. | |||
Compound words, including nouns, often utilize a form of rendaku - all leitmotifs used in the same word are transposed to the same key. As stated above, this key-assimilation is often also applied to the particles associated with the word, effectively turning them into suffixes. | |||
Noun suffixes exist for nine cases: topical, nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, locative, lative, ablative, and instrumental. However, marking the nominative is optional. | |||
Nouns also conjugate for plurality, but this differs from the cases above in that it is an alteration of the actual motif. If the noun is plural, then one or more of the notes will be a major chord (the note, its relative third, and its relative fifth) rather than a single note. A "superplural" exists as well, where one or more of the notes is instead a power chord (the note and its relative fifth both above and below the note). However, this is rare for nouns that aren't adjectivized. The most likely note to become major or power is typically the first one, but this need not be the case. | |||
When a noun is adjectivized, or for natural adjectives, pluralizing it makes it comparative, and superpluralizing it makes it superlative. | |||
In writing, the plural and superplural alterations are written as "maj" and "ind". | |||
===Verbs=== | |||
Verbs have suffixes for seven aspects: indicative, potential, passive, causative, imperative, negative, and conditional. The indicative suffix is also typically omitted, like the nominative suffix. As in Japanese, these are often combined in order to make the true forms. | |||
Verbs are assumed to be in non-past tense, but putting it in a minor chord (along the same lines as the pluralization mutations above) will make it past tense. | |||
