Nouns
All nouns end with -ο or with -ι, with the possible exception of proper nouns derived from other languages such as names. Stress in all nouns is placed on the penultimate syllable unless there is a hiatus in the last two syllables of an -ο noun with three syllables or more, in which case stress is placed on the antepenultimate syllable. To make a noun plural, -σ is added to the end of the word.

Adjectives
All adjectives end with -α or with -æ. The ending -æ is used in place -α of to make an adjective mean the opposite of what it originally did. Therefore, every adjective ending with -æ has an opposite ending with an adjective ending with -α. Stress in all adjectives is placed on the antepenultimate syllable unless there is a hiatus in the last two syllables of an adjective with four syllables or more, in which case stress is placed on the trans-antepenultimate (fourth-to-last) syllable.

Adverbs
All adverbs derived from adjectives end with -ε or with -εя. -ε adverbs are the adverb counterpart of -α adjectives, and -εя adverbs are the adverb counterpart of -æ adjectives. Adverbs that are not attributed to a particular adjective end with -ευ.

Verbs
All verbs end with -τ in the infinitive form. Stress in all verbs is placed on the ultimate syllable. All verbs are regular.

Syntax
Simple sentences are subject-verb-object. Adjectives are preceded by the noun they modify. Indirect objects precede direct objects but must be modified with a preposition to avoid ambiguity.
