I decided to not publish it on the wiki. May be distantly related to Ahise, and is basically an uglier, more analytic and more refined version of it.

Consonants
Long consonants are doubled. * j is used after a consonant in consonant clusters

* /ʀ/ is a secondary allophone of /r/ and /ɾ/ after long vowels

* /r/ is an allophone of /ɾ/ before any consonants.

Vowels
Long vowels are doubled. Mid vowels are lowered in word-final position.

Diphthongs can end only in -i.

Phonotactics
The syllable structure is (C)(C)V(C)(C)

Trills devoice before voiceless consonants.

Vowel harmony
Makes no sense xD

Only vowels of a certain horizontal group may be in a word root.



Grammar


1st declension
Those nouns end in a consonant. The example noun is xaak, meaning "bone".

2nd declension
The 2nd declension nouns end in a vowel. The example noun is bezdö, meaning "fool".

3rd declension
The 3rd declension nouns end in -a. The example noun is mita, meaning "horde". The -a ending isn't a part of the word root, hence it ignores the vowel harmony.

Verbs
Explained with the verb mextin (go).
