Ituyagul/lexicon

This is a list of the Ituyagul lexicon. Ituyagul uses roots to compose stems with vocal transfixes, which are inserted based on grammatical function.

Please note that the lexicon will not be completed as more roots will be added as time goes on. The order is largely based on the Swadesh list.

Notes on roots
In Ituyagul, nouns may belong to a given class because of the characteristic features of its referent. Referents are animacy (human vs. animal vs. fruit vs. inanimate vs. miscellanious), gender (masculine vs. feminine vs. neuter), size (augmentative vs. diminutive), and countability (countable vs. uncountable). This makes 60 possible genders.
