Cākuon
Cākuon (pronounced Chaakuon) is a character based language.
It uses the latins cript, but individual characters or pairs of characters have meaning,
and words arise from stacking characters.
The grammar is:
The sentence structure is SOV.
To make a verb past, you conjugate the characters x to it. it means past.
To make it future, you conjugate nx, n is negation / opposing, x is past.
To make it habitual, you use ax, where a is the meaning for all, and x means past.
To add an adverb, conjugate it at the end of the verb. order of adverbs matter.
You can use a copula ('ø') after the main verb with a space to show continuous.
To make a noun plural, you use conjugate it with ō at the beginning after the number
adjective if its there, where ō means plentiful or many.
The "the" article is ā (different from noun ā). It can also be used for "that".
For "This", it is "ē".
When you want to use an adjective, conjugate it to right before the noun.
Order of adjectives matters.
Adjective type isnt given in glossary, but it is to be inferred.
Adjective types play a role in how you place them. Here is a basic order:
Number | Quality | Time | Position | Interrogative | Base Noun
For Adverbs the same, but:
Base Verb | Number | Quality | Time | Position | Interrogative
Multiple morphemes can occupy the same slot.
Prepositions come after their owner noun or verb without a space.
The owner noun is the noun that is inducing the effect or being effected by the preposition.
