The language of the Lapin tribesmen found in A Reyvateil's Melody: Game.

Introduction to the Grammar
Sentences are formed with a subject and predicate (verb), and end in -, ?, !, ---. Adjectives are placed after the word they describe.

Example: i risel custy gweni- I to see moon white.

Translation: I see a white moon.

When the subject is not a pronoun, the article se (for male nouns) or sa (for female nouns) is placed before the noun.

Example: sa spiry nowel- The Spring to come.

Translation: The Springtime comes.

When se and sa are placed in front of certain vowels, they may join with the noun in front of them. se + i = s'i se/sa + e = s'e sa + a = s'a

To show ownership between nouns, place tir between the owned noun and the owner noun.

Example: se susto tir i racol i- The village of me to anger me.

Translation: My village angers me.
