Ejective fricatives cannot appear in the syllable onset. They are almost always in the middle or rarely at the end of words, with an exception of /s' sw' çʼ çʼʷ θʼ θʼʷ/. 1] /j̊/, written y, is pronounced [ʎ̝̊] at the beginning of words.

Vowels

There are 48 vowels in Urdcax.

The Urdcax writing system is a mixture of logographic and featural, It uses logographic for the lexical morphemes whilst grammitcal morphemes are written in the featural alphabet. I do not have a standard romanization for urdcax mainly because of the large amount of sounds not found in many languages. 

Phonotactics

The herder tongue s principally a polysyllabic language with very laxed consonant cluster rules, however many lexical words and grammitcal words indiviusal are monosyllabic however must comprise of entirely consonants or vowels for example kǩlhwʔ /kxʼʟ̝̊ʷ/. Also the phrase he had in his poessesion a bunchberry plant. it is in fact, [Tlkxx'v̆üǩhhil o̓o̓o̓þǩäşþqtaeč̓]

numbers and technical terms

Ayeyarokth has a unique base 16 counting system, it thus has unique technical terms, words for things such planes, computers and cars are all compounds derived from Ayeyarokth morphemes rather than English words. A plane has different names depending on if its, landing, taking off or in midair. The language contains a calendar in which the most important time is the metonic cycle of nineteen years. The language uses both Babylonian seconds, minutes and hours it also has its own base 16 seconds, minutes and hours. The language uses 12 months per year, each month has three to four weeks there are 52 weeks in a year. Ayeyarokth uses case marking for numbers, a mathematical sentaces must always work exactly like a normal sentence. For example, two plus two equals four is of the osv pattern due to four by being a higher number to two. oqüǩbrodäɀnçzodozg; literally it is [four absloutive superior two ergative create two plus instrumental] so it could be written as 4 2 = 2+ but that is confusing and weird so it is normally just written as 2+2=4 but that is still confusing for it is not two plus two its four is created by 2 using additional 2.
