Ancient Va'aini

General information
The first written language in all of Nirunae, it was made by the  Lîavor of  Va'ainù, and used a strange alphabet system where each character had both a consonant and vowel sound.

Alphabet


Consonants are spelled as they are on the sound chart with the exception of the double kw which is spelled as qu, the letter k which is spelled as c and ʃ which is spelled and pronounced as sh. The consonants l, n, r and s are doubled when aspirated, though not pronounced doubly (unaimed versus unnamed.) The consonants dh, bh, and fh are spelled and pronounced as t, p, and v respectively. Sh is spelled as sħ when aspirated.

Vowels are transliterated as follows. 1 -Pronunciation varies. A good rule of thumb is to use palm when stressed or first syllable and done when not.

Phonotactics
Remember that every character is a consonant sound followed by a vowel sound- there are no exceptions to <span style="font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";mso-bidi-font-family:Verdana; letter-spacing:-.15pt"> this  ''<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";letter-spacing:-.15pt"> rule.  <span style="font-size: 11.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";letter-spacing:-.15pt">Because of this Quùvarani has very simple phonotacfics: CV is the shortest accepted word and from there it is simply CVCVCVCV...''

Grammar
Quùvarani is a polysynthetic language, so a full sentence can be expressed as one word. Originally, there was no puncuation, and clauses were simply separated by being on different lines. Here is a basic format for word structure:

(person)(tense)(aspect/perfection)(mood)(optional adverbs)(infinitive verb form)(case/gender indicator)(optional adjectives)(stem noun form)

The nominal section would likely occur multiple times in a sentence. The order cases go in would be:

Ablative of place/to/from or where- (genitive)Dative-(genitive)Accusative-(genitive)Nominative

Note- not all of these will occur in a sentence. The genitive could possibly occur before any one of the three "gendered" cases (accusative, dative, and nominative), as in "In the entry way(abl. of place), the daughter(nom.) of the businessman(gen. of nom.) gave her(gen. of acc.)money(acc.) to the theater's(gen. of dat.)worker(dat.)"

But, of course, most sentences will be simpler. Here is an example in Quùvarani:

vodaelifirasuregilùvililarrùviseleneray

Let's break this up:

vo(singular)dae(past)li(continous/imperfective)fira(indicative)suregi(inf. form: "to live")lù(abl. of place)vili(city)larrùvi(name of city)se(nom. masculine)leneray(name of person)

So, this means: Leneray used to live in the city Larrùvi.
