Ummm... Nothing to say. The title explains everything.

...maybe make it the 2nd version of Wati? < on hold

Consonants
Orthography given only if not identical to IPA.

Vowel length
Lengthening is indicated by doubling the vowel.

Vowel merging
When two short vowels are present one next to another, they usually merge. A table of merging is presented below:

Syllable structure
The syllable structure can be (C)V(C) or (C)L(C) where C is a consonant, V is a vowel and L is a lengthening. At least one consonant must be present. Exceptions are initial syllables followed by a consonant.

Syllable weight
Syllables and words have "weight". A heavy syllable (weight 1) is either CVC, CLC, LC or CL, while all other syllables are light (weight 0,5). A word must have a weight of at least 1.

Nouns
Nouns are fairly simple, however some have strange pluralizations.

Regular pattern: Note: since all words must have a weight of at least 1, wa-∅ becomes waa instead of *wa, but wa-∅-ti becomes wati, etc.
