Nomnom

THIS IS UNDER MY PECULIAR REHAUL. DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING UNTIL THIS MESSAGE GOES AWAY. THANK YOU.

This language is based on a Reddit "weird conlang challenge". Someone (not me) asked for a weird conlang template to be upvoted and was given the first eight consonants and the two rounded vowels of this language, (C)CVC(C) word order, and an isolating morphology. What they created didn't follow any of the rules set down, because they made it so that there were eight vowels and made CV affixes.

At first, I was under the impression that I, too, would fail with such a small soundbank. However, I now realize that I will not fail.

So here goes.

Phonology and Restrictions
Consonants

Vowels

The syllable structure is (C)CVC(C), so the word has to be surrounded by consonants.

The alphabet goes down, consonants before vowels. nomnom /nomnom/ is the name of the language.

Grammar
The language is OSV and completely isolating. All words can be verbs except for function words, and the only way to know which ones are actually verbs is through word order. All nouns are "one which VERB something" which worka because all verbs are transitive.
