Orthography

Except where stated here, each letter has the same meaning it does in the IPA.

• ch: /x/
• sch: /ʃ/
• w: /v/ (/w/ after k)
• nd: /nt/
• th: /tʰ/
• ä: /æ/
• ö: /œ/
• ü: /y/

Capitalization rules are as in German - that is, the first letter of each sentence, and the first letter of each noun, is always capitalized.

Grammar

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, and the endings are in Theadisch orthography (as opposed to a phonemic transcription):

Singular

Plural

	First	Second	Third
Present	-e	-en	-te
Imperfect	-wi	-sti	-wit
Future	-po	-pis	-pit

The word order is SVO. Adjectives come after nouns.
