Itu

Phonotactics
That are all of the morae that are in the language.

The only case in which to morae fuse in one sylable is when a consonant with u or i is followed by a vowel, creating a CAV sequence (tu+i [twi]) Stress always happens in the 3rd morae from the end of a word, suffixes and prefixes dont count, in compunds, the last word is the reference for the stress.

Nouns
Nouns are pluralized by reduplicating the last sylable (hikiki (seed), hikikiki (seeds))

Nouns have one of two categories: Abstract or Concrete

Verbs
Verbs are slightly inflected in time and aspect. The particle "anu" negates the verb, it can be sufixed as "-nu".

The last particle is a question particle like "what" or "why". Instead of at the Beggining of the phrase, Itu puts the question particle after the verb.

Copula
Also there is a "copula", much like spanish, Itu doesn't have one copula. Instead, it has various verbs, used for some meanings of the copula.

The most used copula is "u", o isn't a different phoneme that u, is only to diferenciate it, the copula "u" is the only verb that isn't regular.

But, if the copula is refering to a location, then the copula is "alia", and if ("to be or to have") the thing is a property or an afliction, then is "junia" and "to have" normally is "nunia"

Morphology
Itu uses extensively compounds to express new ideas (tuku (stone) + hululu (water) = hululutuku (LIT.: water stone) solid water/ice).

Compounds are often beetween nouns of the same class (Abstract+Abstract or Concrete+Concrete), also the 2nd word always describes the first ("hululutuku" stoned water, "tukuhululu" watered stone/pourous limestone).

Also for 2 sylable words, it's plural can be used as is own word (ika (plant), ikaka (plants or garden)).

Syntax
The word order is SVOC (ili akuni uhava juniahunu lahu "It attacks us without (doesn't have) reason")
