Phonotactics
Syllable structure is (C)(V)(C). Nasals can function as the syllable core and syllables can only end with vowels or nasals. All vowels have long and short variants. There are four tones: medium, high, rising, and falling.

Writing System
Long vowels are indicated with a double letter. An ogonek or tilde is used for nasal vowels. A macron, acute accent, and grave accent are used for high, rising, and falling tones respectively.

Definiteness
The word æ is added after a noun if it is definite and before if it is indefinite. For example:
 * Ndǿø æ ēe (The good village)
 * Æ ndǿø ēe (A good village)

Number
The particle ʿm is added before nouns to make them plural. For example:
 * æ̈ǣ (emerald)
 * ʿm æ̈ǣ (emeralds)
