Nouns take -a or -'a in the construct state. For example, beyit-um is "house", but "house of the monk" would be beyita qcancat, with the word "monk" (qcan) in possessive/genitive case.

Definite article
The definite article is e-. Look at the examples:
 * e-lešat(um) (the language)
 * e-beyit(um) (the house)
 * e-qcan(um) (the monk)
 * e-xavak (e-xavka) (the star)

Verbs and verb constructions
Unlike Semitic languages (that have similar constructions), the dictionary form is either present simple in common/masculine form of 3rd person or the gerund (which is mostly irregular). The primary construction is aśāt. It denotes the base action, utim aśāt - it does. A distinct common form of pronoun exists, but it is obsolete and is mostly replaced by the masculine form of corresponding pronoun.

The secondary construction is eśit - it/he makes.

The third construction is h'iśat yat (causative) - it/he causes, causes someone to do.

The fourth construction is n'iśat (si) - it/he is doing (with itself)

The fifth construction is əśat li-, and it is passive form of aśāt construction.

The sixth construction is iśāt li-, and it is passive form of eśit.

The seventh construction is hi'śat li-, and it is passive form of h'iśat yat, respectively.

The past forms are made by adding yə- to a present construction for past simple and yələ- for past continuous (the present continuous marker is lə-, respectively).

The future forms are formed by adding na-.

The participle is formed by adding certain time adverbs, such as sakum "now".

The imperative is formed by adding š- prefix to common 3rd person form.
