2. Pronouns
# ayk = I
# ayker = we
# dyu = you
# dyuer = you (plural)
# u = you (formal) *
# han = neutral personal
# hanite = he
# hanine = she
# haner = they
# et = it
# eter = they (plural of it)
To form possessives, just add an a:
# ayka = my/mine
# aykera = our(s)
# dyua = your(s)
# dyuera = your(s) (plural)
# ua = your(s) (formal) *
# hana = their (neutral personal singular)
# hanita = his
# hanina = her
# hanera = their (plural)
# eta = it
# etera = they (plural of it)
To form accusatives, just invert spelling:
# kya = me
# kyaer = us (kya + er)
# uyd = you
# uyder = you (plural, uyd + er)
# u = you (formal) *
# nah = neutral personal
# nahite = him
# nahine = her
# naher = them
# te = it
# zi = -self *
Additional pronouns:
# aykad = this
# dyuad = that (near you)
# hanad = that (near someone else)
# aykader = these
# dyuader = those (near you)
# hanader = those (near someone else)
# aykir = here
# dyuir = there (near you)
# hanir = there (near someone else)

3. Verb conjugation
# -en = infinitive
# -(e)s = present (E added when root ends in S or Z)
# -ed = past
# sil + - = future
# ud + - = conditional
# -in = present participle
# -uy = imperative
# -eda = past participle
Verb "zen" (to be)
# zes (is, are)
# zed (was, were)
# sil zen (will be)
# ud zen (would be)
# zin (being) [zina = attributive]
# zuy (be!)
# zeda (been)
Verb "eten" (to eat)
# ets (eats, eat)
# eted (ate)
# sil eten (will eat)
# ud eten (would eat)
# etin (eating) [etina = attributive]
# etuy (eat!)
# eteda (eaten)
The prefix mak- makes the verb active i.e. adds the sense "to cause to be" to verbs.
The prefix veg- makes the verb passive i.e. adds the sense of "to receive".
The prefix zi- makes the verb reflexive.

4. Nouns
All nouns end in -e in singular and -er in plural. In their singular form, the final e is not pronounced and the stressed syllable is the previous one.
# huse = house
# kate = cat
# bome = tree
# voye = way
# huser = houses
# kater = cats
# bomer = trees
# voyer = ways
Some noun suffixes:
# -ite = male
# -ine = female
# -seme = person
# -ere = profession
# -hed = concept (-ness, -ity)
The -e drops when forming compounds.
Nouns ending in -ie instead of -e indicates it's a diminutive.

10. Accusative
The accusative can be optionally used when the sentence order is not SVO. It adds an -(e)p after adjectives and nouns.
Ex.:

- kater ---> katerep
- biga ---> bigap
