Combining words

when combining words you put them together like enosepóre = balloon ( enose  = air póre  = ball )

If any combinations arise ( 2 consonants or 2 diffirend vowels you put - between the words ( - = 1 second break in speech )

vakusu-eku = 1 sleep

a letter is only capitalized when its a name, place name or a country 

The order in where you put words together is PTANVNN (prefix time adjective noun verb number name) ( case )


You can have a big word just by uniting

r changes to l

y changes to u

v changes to f

œ  changes to o

f changes to v

so change it to the sound closest in the ipa chart

step 2 collapse any repeated same consonants into one 

step 3 if there are 2 of the same vowel change them to both to the first vowel

step 4 if there are 2 diffirend consonants remove the last one

step 5 if there are 2 diffirend vowels change them both to the first vowel.

step 6 if a word ends in a consonant (other than m or n ) put a in the end
