Editing Guide:Nouns and Adjectives and Word Order

=== Basic Overview ===

In Tansord, all nouns are adjectives, and vice versa. Adjectives go before the noun, except for 4 specific adjectives:  Ren (person), Am (people/nation), Ka (language), Iri (state/country/land of a people), as well as units of time (months, days, years, etc). Tansord uses the SVO word order. Tansord has one article, the definite article al- (written with a hyphen).

Most plurals are formed with the suffix -it (or -t, if the root already ends with a vowel). There are three exceptions:

# The plural of Ka is Kaa.
# For words with 3 syllables or more ending with -VCV (vowel-consonant-vowel) when it is not the subject of the sentence. (i.e. agura -> "agurat" as the subject, "agur" otherwise).
# For the vocative case, plurals are formed differently (more below).

=== Vocative Case ===

The vocative case is used when directly addressing the noun. The suffix -oy is used for the singular when the root ends with a consonant (-oyt in plural), and -ye/-yet (for singular/plural respectively) if the root ends with a vowel. 

A pattern of consonant mutation is applied (and shown in writing) depending on the last consonant in all roots with 3 syllables or more OR in roots with two syllables that end in a consonant. 

Initial root consonant -> after mutation

# g -> k
# b -> p
# d -> t
# c -> s
# k -> q
