==Morphology==
==Morphology==
There are four types of base words in Telnan (plus interjections and articles).
They are:
* Nouns
* Verbs
* Adjectivals
* Seperate case
Each root word can be one of these four (peš {fish}, mer {go}, roš {red}, ru {near}). However, usually the root word is a noun.
'Seperate case' is classified seperately from adjectivals in Telnan and describes nouns' location, time or motion. Adjectivals go after the noun/verb, whilst seperate cases go before.
Seperate cases are unmodifiable, except to verbs (by adding -ar)
