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

Names
Names / places
step 1 Change all sounds to the closest jovákeli equivalent
for example g changes to k
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
step 6 if there are more than 3 vowels put j in the middle example - aou - áju
step 7 if there re more than 3 consonants put a in the middle example - jhp = jahapa
