===Nouns=== | |||
Nouns are inflected for number and case in three grammatical genders, correlating roughly to an animacy category. | |||
====Locational Prepositions==== | |||
Locational prepositions may precede a noun modified with the locative case to indicate a position or motion such as inside, toward, or near. | |||
===Adjectives=== | |||
The final vowel changes to match the grammatical gender of the noun it modifies. | |||
===Verbs=== | |||
Verbs are inflected for tense, aspect, and mood, but not person or number. | |||
===Adverbs=== | |||
The final vowel of the adverb changes to match the category of verb it modifies. | |||
===Conjunctions=== | |||
===Particles=== | |||
====Questions==== | |||
'too' preceding a phrase marks it as a question. | |||
====Negation==== | |||
'le' negates whatever element of a sentence it precedes. | |||
====Commands==== | |||
'tay' precedes a verb to form a command. <br> | |||
'let' or 'letay' precedes a verb to form a negative command. | |||
