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.
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 For proper nouns ending with vowels: add -ye (written with hyphen).
