Ælis/Root word list and vocabulary

Two letter root words
The table below shows all two letter root words. The header column (written in the primary case) represents the first sound of the root, the header row (written in the secondary case) represents the second sound of the root. Accordingly, the first row starts reading [aa][aæ][ae][ai][ao]; the first column starts reading [aa][æa][ea][ia][oa]. NOTE: The Ælis project is still being developed. As such, this table is regularly complemented and is also subject to change.

Three letter root words

 * lIS [lis]: concept, idea
 * gEO [geo]: earth
 * gOE [goe]: water
 * dEO [deo]: air
 * dOE [doe]: fire
 * rEA [rea]: name

Family members
Relative pronouns (pun intended) nearly always consist of either three root words, or a multiple thereof. The structure is as follows: a gender particle + the root word uE [ue] ('family') + a qualifier Within this pattern, the gender particles evidently express the gender of the family member, while the qualifiers designate different generations. Therefore: [ianiueleniueleiaværea'qlara'harea'irina'] Clara's grandmother (on mother's side) is called Irina.
