ORTHOGRAPHY

letters used = a b c d e f g i l m n ng (counts as one) o q r s t u in romanisation
vowels = a, a: (like aw), e, e: (like ei), i, i: (like ee), o, o: (like oh), u, u: (like oo, unrounded in albo-gricitkis), w, j
r sound is trilled (pronounced like french r in galo-gricitkis)
c is always pronounced like k
q is identical in modern gricitkis
rest are similar to english
ng exists
n before k = ng, n before p or b = m, m before k = ng, m before t or d = n
b after a voiceless consonant is "p"
a a etc between words just pronounced like a: (aha = archaic dialectical)
a e etc between words pronounced like ahe
dipthongs (not universal):
ia = ya, ie = ye, etc
oa/ua = wa, oe/ue = we, etc
ai, ei, etc
au/ao = ow, etc
oi overrides "wi" to sound like oi, same with ou
ou = oh
palatalisation is ierno and albo, but consonants before an i that follows a vowel always are, eg si = soft "sh", ti = soft "ch"
plosive before another plosive is silent, so fenta ac dau is pronounced like "fentadau/fentahadau(archaic)"

GRAMMAR

GENDER

male and female singular and plural words, male words end in a consonant or "u" or "o", female in "a" or "e" or "i"

SUFFIXES

dimunitives = -ingo (m) -inga (f)
personal dimunitives = -oc (m with consonant) -co (m with vowel) -ca (f with vowel)
augmentatives = -ango (m) -anga (f)
personal augmentatives = -on (m with consonant) -no (m with vowel) -na (f with vowel)

CASES

nominative: no change (last letter of word is base for the rest) (sg) -id (pl)
genitive: -ic (m) -ac (f) -in (pl)
dative: -om (m) -am (f) -if (pl) (dative also works as locative, instrumentative and ablative in decreasing preference below dative, if must be ambiguated, only the higher changes to it while the rest have particles)
accusative: -i (m) -e (f) -di (pl)
vocative: -ai (sg) -dai (pl)
note: if last letters are a consonant that matches, such as in lenad, the stem begins a letter early, forming lenid
eg. [person], give sticks to the dog's brother = [sen]ai, datai draurom raufic a lendi (a lendi sen draurom raufon data is also valid in more poetic written forms, only rule is genitive must pair with noun and vocative comes first)
