Grammar
The word order is SVO. Adjectives come after nouns.
There are three genders: feminine, masculine, and neuter. There are three singular definite articles: for feminine, lie, for masculine, ler, and for neuter, las. There is one plural definite article: lie. There are two singular indefinite articles: for feminine, une, and for masculine and neuter, un. There is one plural indefinite article: unige. The plural markers for feminine, masculine, and neuter nouns are -en, -er, and -e, respectively. Masculine nouns also gain an umlaut above their final vowel (with resultant pronunciation changes), unless that vowel is E or I. The genitive case is marked with the suffix -de (a cognate of French/Spanish/Portuguese de and Italian di). The loctive case is marked with the suffix -an. The accusative case is marked by word order; only the pronouns have accusative-case marking.
The infinitive of a verb has -en at the end, as does the imperative. Here are the (unfinished) verb ending tables; the ordinal number refers to person, the endings are in Theadisch orthography (as opposed to a phonemic transcription), and the first is singular and the second plural (the only reason they're not labeled is due to what seems to be a glitch in MediaWiki):
| First | Second | Third | |
| Present | -e | -en | -te |
| Imperfect | -wi | -sti | -wit |
| Future | -po | -pis | -pit |
| First | Second | Third | |
| Present | -en | -tis | -en |
| Imperfect | -en | -is | -en |
| Future | -en | -tis | -en |
