Alphabet
All polysyllabic words are marked for stress with an acute accent.

Note that the italic letters are allophones and usually occur before front vowels and the letter  though they are not mandatory.

Nouns
Nouns come in two varieties animate and inanimate 

They also decline for 7 cases but they overlap a lot so there are few endings. They change also for singular and plural.

Animate
Animate nouns decline for 7 cases: nominative, vocative, accusative (which all have the same endings), genitive, ablative, and instrumental (which all have the same ending), and dative and locative (both with the same endings). Endings are different depending on what the words end in. Plurals are indicated by a prefix. Nouns are always listed in singular nominative.

Defining an animate noun is difficult. Most nouns that are animate are physically alive, powerful, or forces of nature or things that change and adapt. Examples include: people, men, language, sky, oceans, ideas

plural prefix: to- (before consonant but not t-), tos- (before vowel), jo- (before t-)

Inanimate
Inanimate nouns are nearly identical in function to animate nouns but they cover all nouns that animate nouns do not. They are therefore the default class of nouns although new nouns that are borrowed are assimiliated according to native paradigms.
