Consonants

A B C D E Ë F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Notes:

The Rakka Alphabet has 1 letter more than the English Alphabet.

Most of the consonants have a rounded/unrounded sibling or a far cousin.

Number
In Rakka, there is no declension of a noun for number. For a definite number, the exact number is used. For an indefinite number, a suffix is used when necessary. But there is no declension for the noun itself.

The plural suffix is -g or -eg. The addition of this suffix to a given noun makes it plural.
 * Cil, person (masculine) → Cireg, people (masculine or neuter) / Cira, person (feminine) → Cirag, people (feminine)
 * Cabiy, horse (masculine) → Cabiëg, horses (masculine or neuter) / Cabiia, horse (feminine) → Cabiiag, horses (feminine)
 * Gi, tree → Gig, trees

Gender
In Rakka, almost all words have a male and female gender. Nouns that breathe all have a male and female gender. Nouns that are inanimate are shown with genders showing their characteristics like the word knife. The word knife uses the Rakka words cuv and cufa. Cuv can mean both knife and/or hunting knife. While Cufa can only mean cooking knife. Words can become neuter by changing the gender on the word. Cuv is masculine but can be made feminine by using Cuf and Cufa can become masculine by using the word Cuva. Gender is made by ending a word with a rounded or unrounded consonant. Having a rounded consonant makes the word masculine. Having a unrounded consonant followed with the letter a makes the word feminine.

 * Aibab, father (Apa)
 * Sibab, son (Sipa)
 * Aibayam, uncle (Aibaya)
 * Abab, grandfather (Abap)
 * Aibal, father-in-law (Aiba)

Notes: Most of the words that are paranthesized are slang, not official.

For example, Kokiril, rooster comes from the word Ko meaning poultry. The slang of Kokiril normally used by ladies is Kokiri suggesting the sound a rooster makes in the morning. As well as, Kokirira, hen is called by mostly males as Kopok, meaning poultry egg.
