Prototype Code For A Yet Unnamed Conlang

The conlang that I am creating started life as a military code in the days before the tower of babel. I am putting the code here so that people can comment on it before I made the resulting conlang.

The basic (unmarked) word order is verb subject direct-object indirect-object. The verb is always first, the other three can be in any order if they follow the marker particle for their use. The subject is marked by eng, the direct object by dl, the indirect object by tl, the beneficiary object by en, and the causative object by el. More than one sentence can be combined with the appropriate marker particle.

The bulk of words in the code are two or three syllables plus whatever suffixes I come up with. These words have three consonant roots like the Semitic languages. So far there are about 2100 patterns that determine what the word means. These pattern uses five vowels and the consonants d, n, t, sh to determine meaning. The consonant n extends the patterns, t marks the duel patterns, d marks the masculine pattern that do not normally have gender, and sh similarly marks the feminine patterns.

What I am looking for is problems with there patterns, that may be what the pattern means, the example that I am using. As far as the examples go, I come up with the example in English first and then in the code.

The first pattern group to look at is the nouns. The pattern is given first, then the name or function of the pattern, then the code example, and last the English of the example.

The noun phrase begins with the noun, then the adjective if there is one, then the adjectival adverb if there is one; or it may begin with a correlative, then the correlative adjective if there is one, then the correlative adverb. While plain adjectives and adverb uses the same vowels as the noun, the correlative adjectives and adverbs do not.
