ACCENTS
In Hoxlan only the words which the stress on the antepnultimate and ultimate syllable are accentuated.

Examples:

antepnultimate = Antïgona / Söphokles / ëruken

ultimate = hibù

pnultimate = Ysmene / žwäster

The vowels: ä - å - ų are always strong, so that they don't need any accent.

When the word has the stress on the antepnultimate syllabe, the vowels will be accentuated:

Quan la paraula sigui esdrúixola les vocals s'accentuaran:

Â - Ë - Ï - Ö - Ü

When the word has the stress on the ultimate syllabe, the vowels will be accentuated:

Quan la paraula sigui aguda les vocals s'accentuaran:

1. If the word ends by vowel:

À - É - Ÿ - Ò - Ù

2. If the word ends by consonant:

À - Ë - Ï - Ö - Ü

PRONOUNS
Wohl / Wohlz = we use them when we don't know the gender of the person who we speak with.

REFLEXIVE PRONOUNS
In Hoxlan the reflexive pronouns (myself, yourself...) don't exist like in English, Catalan, Spanish, French or other language. If we want express this idea, we'll put at the end of the sentence the particle AN.

''En Hoxlan els pronoms reflexius (em, et, es...) no existeixen com en anglès, català, espanyol, francès o en altres llengües. Si volem expressar la idea que l'acció del verb recau sobre el mateix subjecte, posarem al final de la frase la partícula AN.''

Examples:

- I shave = Ix raše ųt an

- You shave = Tou raš ųt an

- He shaves = Is rašt ųt an

In catalan = jo m'afaito / tu t'afaites / ell s'afaita

ACUSATIVE PRONOUNS (PERSONALS)
These pronouns are the acusative form of the pronouns. In English they’re like “me, you, him, her, it, us, you, them).

In Hoxlan these pronouns go in front of the verb when it’s in passt tense (I did / I’ve done), pluperfect tense (I hat done), future (will have done), conditional (would have done) and in passt tense and pluperfect tense of subjunctive.

They go behind (or in front too) the verb when it’s in present tense, imperfect tense (I used to do), futur tense (will do), conditional tense (would do)

When the verb is in imperative or gerund, the acusative pronouns go always behind it.
