=Basical Grammar= -Articles- There are only 3 articles; ssa, mau, and sson. Ssa is the equivalent of 'the'. It is used when describing something specific. Ssa does not change gender. Mau is the equivalent of 'a/an' for describing feminine nouns. Sson is the other equivalent of 'a/an', except this is used for describing masculine nouns.

EXAMPLES mlau ssa the cat

Бok sson a dog

paunɛ mau a cloud

-Nouns- Nouns have two genders, masculine and feminine. Masculine nouns always end in one of the 20 consonants. When they become plural, they end in -ɛn. Feminine nouns always end in one of the 6 vowels. When they become plural, they end in -ɛnɛ. If the word already ends with ɛ, then just add -nɛ.

EXAMPLES iowɛ flower

iowɛnɛ flowers

goudh bird

goudhɛn birds

-Pronouns- Pronouns have two genders and two ages. They are masculine-young, masculine-older, feminine-young, and feminine-older. 'They' and 'We', however, are only masculine and feminine. 'It' is classified as masculine, and is therefore used like 'he.'

There are 20 subject pronouns.
