	<p t k b d g s z ts sh j h w r y m n n>
	/a e i o u/
	<a e i o u>

* `(C)V(ŋ)` syllable structure
* mora timing
* unvoiced plosives and fricatives (except for h) may be geminated. the extra consonant comprises a mora, e.g.
> (k)(ka) ← each mora is parethesized

## prosody
* the first syllable of a word is pronounced at a higher pitch.
* the last syllables of a word at the end of a sentence are pronounced at a lower pitch.

## typology
SOV.

## pronoun
* ka  → 1s
* kai → 1p
* ta  → 2s
* tai → 2p
* na  → 3s
* nai → 3p
* ra → demonstrative (singular/plural)
* ro → reflexive
* toshu → interrogative

## verb conjugation
* -i  → intransitive
* -a  → transitive
 	* an transitive verb has a subject and object, whereas an intransitive verb only has a subject.
 	verbs in these conjucations can be used:
 		* as the main verb of the sentence
 
			> "ka kinegi toa" → "I am eating plants"

 		* to modify nouns in the sentence

 			> "ka kinegi rezi toa" → "I am eating good plants"
		 
 			> "api surusukiń tinońmi teja saa" → "bees are insects that make a sweetner"
 
* -u  → infinitive
* -ui → infinitive intransitive
* -ua → infininive transitive
	* the infinitive conjugations allow a verb to act as a noun. verbs conjugated with "-u" stand on their own, and those with "-ui" or "-ua" accept subjects and objects.

 		> "ka hosekui api herissa" → "my existence is related to bees"

		> "tou no retu zea hassi" → "eating is necessary for living"

		> "resha ro suttua rezi" → "people talking with each other is good"

* -e  → imperative intransitive
* -ea → imperative transitive
 	* an imperative verb may only be used as the main verb of the sentence. the subject is omitted, as it is implicitly the listener.

		> "kumań toea" → "eat food"

## verb suffixes
* -tese → irrealis
	* to be added to anything that hasn't or isn't happening, which includes the future, possibilities, and hypotheticals.
* -kka → passive
* -seń → negative
* -wao → perfect aspect
* -doma → comparative/superlative
* -ppihu → excessive (rezu → "good"; rezuppihu → "too good")

## sentence/verb conjunction particles
these particles may be placed between two verb phrases to coordinate them. the subject of the coordinated verb phrases is the same:
> "api kinetoi me tinońmi teja" → "bees pollinate and make a sweetener"

these particles may also be placed between two complete sentences to coordinate them:
> "api kinetoi taso ka ra igaseń" → "bees pollinate, but I do not"

* me → and
* ni → or
* iti → because
* koń → so/and thus
* taso → yet

## misc particles
* no → adverbialize
	* "no" followed by a verb phrase will modify the postceding verb adverbally, with the modified verb acting as the subject in the adverbial phrase.

		> "ka no kussi hoseki" → "I pitifully exist"

		> "ka api no zoyai no hańshi ya saa" → "I am only a bee in reality"
	 
* to → interrogative

	> "to tai api saa?" → "are you bees?"
 
* tososeń → tag question

	> na yasa tososeń?" → "it's funny, isn't it?"

## numbers
a base 10 number system is utilized. there are words for 0-9 and powers of 10. to express a multiple of a power of 10, adverbialization is utilized.
> deku → 10

> no nani deku → 80

a number with multiple digits can be expressed by modifying the subject with multiple numbers corresponding to the digit:
> api no nani deki jii → 89 bees
	
a number with multiple digits can be expressed as a single noun in much the same manner via "ketu"
> no ni hoki no nani deku keta jiu keta → 389 (noun)
