An example of how to write the vowels into the consonants in the script is below. The main line of the vowel disappears and is pushed to the consonant that is before it.

* V stands of Vowel, in the case of "i" it changes from /i/ to /j/ if followed by a vowel or if it follows a vowel.

Nouns
Nouns can be varied in four ways, Definiteness, Number, Gender and Case.

Most names start has neutral like, "ba" (world) but can already have gender like "gue" (King).

Definiteness
A noun is definite when the suffix '[]l is used. The World would be "ba'al"; The King "gue'el"

A noun is indefinite when the suffix '[]m is used. A world would be "ba'am"; A King "gue'em"

The [] are for the anterior vowel of the word in order to follow harmony.

This is added at the end.

Gender/Number
The gender of a noun is defined by a syllabic end, j[] for male, l[] for female, j[]z[] for plural male, l[]g[] for plural female, when a word ends in consonant the last vowel is repeated at the end. For neutral plural we use d[].

Case
There are 9 cases, that are attached before all the gender/number and definiteness, except Genitive which is attached at the end of all changes.

Syntax of the Noun

Verbs
The verbs have 9 tenses in total, in cases a tense may be used in conjunction with another to form a passive or change the time of the tense. The routine version of the tenses is used to describe routines in a certain period of time (they had an "e" to the end), Conditional and Imperatives can be joined by another tense to alter the time.

The auxiliary verb "to have" and "to be" are also used to make more complex time spans. They also are the only irregular verbs in the language.

Auxiliaries here aren't a servant of the main verb, the main verb still must carry the main tense while the auxiliary carries the secondary tense.

Syntax
Affirmative syntax follows SVO rules, Subject + Verb + (Time expressions) + (Space expressions) + Object, the subject cannot be omitted, except in Imperative sentences which are normally VO or SVO if the is dubious meaning.

Interrogatives are (Aux)VS(V)O, in which if a auxiliary verb is used it becames ASVO, if it isn't used it becomes VS, also the cases of INS, LOC and VOC are put at the end non-attached instead of the beginning of the word non-attached.
