Emotion Language
An emotion word can be easily identified by the fact it ends in //

They are effectively a matrix, and formed of a number of stages, and consequently able to express complex concepts in a very short period of time.

Stage 1- Emotion
This step contains one or two concepts. They can be split into 2 types: The first, if included, is written as a vowel and contains a general tone. They rarely appear on their own. The second type is more specific and is written as either a single consonant or a collection that makes a particular sound. One special stage one element is xix-, which reverses the meaning of the rest of stage 1.

Stage 2- Intensity/Attitude
Another 2 part step. The optional first part expresses what the singer feels about the emotion:

The second part is essential and expresses the strength of the feeling

Stage 3- Subject/Subject Modifier
These can be layered up quite a way, but generally it's best to make sure it's something pronounceable. r and ch behave differently if there is an r or l in stage two— they will refer to how soon you want the feeling to be fulfilled/end. If you need them twice (you want something to be fulfilled quickly, but only be short lived, you would use a y as well (this is optional if there is no l or r in stage 2.)
