Other motivating considerations were:
* trying a set of uniform [[#Ratio casuum|case endings]] (barring vowel harmony and allophony) instead of the typical IE several declension patterns, so that all the case endings are recognizable throughout all grammatical [[#Number|numbers]]
* trying a set of uniform [[#Ratio casuum|case endings]] (barring vowel harmony and allophony) instead of the typical IE several declension patterns, so that all the case endings are recognizable throughout all grammatical [[#Number|numbers]]
* a vague attempt at trying [[#Vowel harmony|vowel harmony]] in a conlang
* a vague attempt at trying [[#Vowel harmony|vowel harmony]] in a conlang
* blurring the lines between [[#Adjectives|adjective]]/[[#Nouns|substantive]]/[[#Verbs|verb]], so the same [[#Roots and principle parts|root]] can easily be used in any of those categories, and implicitly an extensive [[#Participles|participial]] system

**as an extensive of the previous point an implicitly extensive [[#Participles|participial]] system
*using primarily consonantal [[#Roots and principal parts|roots]] (started out trying for triliterals, but quickly adapted to allow quadriliteral)
*having primarily imperfect/perfect [[#Aspect|aspect]] instead of [[#Tense|tense]], as reflected in the vowel structure of the aforementioned roots
* having a strict and productive [[#Dual|dual]] in all applicable grammatical categories
* having a strict and productive [[#Dual|dual]] in all applicable grammatical categories
