Grammar

Verbs and Adverbs

Tense Prefix Example Translation Future M- Sam m-sakantsaiyni orange-yc Sam will eat oranges Past Y- Sam y-sakantsaiyni orange-yc Sam ate oranges Progressive Uh- Sam uh-sakantsayini orange-yc Sam is eating oranges Complete Kuh- Sam kuh-sakantsaiyni orange-yc Sam finished eating oranges

An -i changes something into a verb. EX: Binks’skñsaiyn-->Binks’skñsaiyni-->Binks’skñsaiynianstoi Foot-->To walk (to foot)-->To run (to sand foot)

Adverbs come after the verb. Aito binks’skñsaiyni-ansto-->I walk quickly (I foot like sand) Aito binks’skñsaiyni-bah-kar-->I walk silently (I foot not chaotically)

The Kargnch and Kargnchha’s actions are expressed in all tenses, due to their omnipotence. Kargnch ymuhkuhsakantsaiyni orange-yc. The Kargnch has, will, is, and has finished eating oranges

Adjectives

To turn a noun into an adjective take off the last consonant(s) to the vowel, if there is at least 3 in all, otherwise leave as is. EX: Hab-->Ha God/elite-->Holy/godlike/elite-like

Some words have no translation, thus use the normal form.

Dog-->do Dog-->Dog-like

S’skñbasnanhaha--> S’skñbasnanhah Gold (Elite holy wood)-->Golden
