Vowels can be nasalised by putting a ņ after them.

Grammar
Nouns have 5 cases and a wide pattern of declension.

Ending in a consonant, long final vowel
These declensions take -èš in nominative.

Adjectives
Adjectives decline as nouns.

Adverbs
Adverbs are made by doubling the final consonant (not indicated in writing) and adding an -öš ending. E.g. èn (soft) [ɛn] becomes ènöš ['ɛ.n:ø̞ʃ]. The -èš adjectives drop the -èš ending.

If an adjective ends in a vowel, a -né ending is added instead.

Verbs
Verbs have 3 conjugations, 3 persons, and different mood markers. The infinitive endings are -čë and -të for intransitive and transitive verbs respectively. Other verbs (3rd class verbs) are difficult to classify and carry same mood markers as intransitive verbs.

Mood markers
Verbs have indicative, interrogative, potential, conditional, subjunctive and imperative moods. All of these are expressed by infixes. The subjunctive mood is used to express "if" clauses.

Between two moods (usually any mood with interrogative) a -š- infix is put.

E.g. "will you be able to think?" (think - "műxèčë", 3rd class verb) is "műxèvošòs?"

The verb "to be"
The verb "to be" (èčë, 3c) is irregular. It's prefixed to the noun. Between two moods a standard -š- infix is put.
