All plants share the root form of: sth%sp%shs, with their collective being sth%sp%sshin. For example a tree is sthispashs and a forest is sthispasshin.
The first vowel encodes plant height, with i being the tallest and u being the shortest. The second vowel encodes plant wetness, with i being the wettest and u being the driest.
The complete table as filled with english terms is:
Dry plants (%u)
iu: Desert Tree / --
eu: Cactus / Floral Desert
au: Shrub / --
ou: Weed / Sandy Desert
uu: lichen / Tundra
'Normal' plants (%a)

aa: Bush / Garden
oa: Crop / Farm
ua: Grass / Field
Wet plants (%i)
ii: -- / Rainforest
ei: mangrove / swamp
ai: -- / wetland
oi: -- / --
ui: algae / marsh
Note that while many terms lack english equivalents, all 25 terms are valid. For example a sthispishs would be a rainforest tree. A sthaspishs would be a wetland bush, etc. ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
