I don't know a lot of the technical terms so this article is going to be pretty amateur.

The word
Koiwak ['kɔɪ.ʃʌk] is derived from "koi" meaning "good", and "wak" meaning "language". So Koiwak is the "good language". This language is not meant to be used as a complete language. Certain things are almost impossible to talk about in Koiwak, such as (but not limited to) politics, religion, engineering, law matters, music theory etc. It is a supplementary language for speaking about natural, real things in a way that a lot of languages cannot allow for.
Root words are 3 (or sometimes 4 or 5) letter blocks to be built on. These are almost always (CVC).
Plural is -os. So,
vok = bird
vokos = birds
On the end of a verb: (lon = go/move/travel)
-i = present (loni = going presently/moving/travelling)
-u = past (lonu = went/moved/travelled)
-a = future (lona = will go/move/travel)
Universal form of address is -pun. It can mean sir, madam, miss, dude etc, regardless of rank, gender, age, level of familiarity etc. Can also serve as a diminutive to show affection.
Johnpun = Johnny
vokpun = birdie
Nouns are altered by various suffixes
Beautiful = klas (or klaszic)
Beauty = klasdap
Beautify = klasvil
Beautifully = klasiso (shortened form of klaszicso)
Beautiful person = klaspun
More beautiful = klasmas
Most beautiful = klaswom
Without beauty = klasmin
