Languary - Day 2
Using the rough order of phoneme commonness from yesterday, I've come up with a name for the empire and its language.
Gavāt
Adjective form: Gavā† (Gavath; the Gavā† Empire)
(Note that I've edited yesterday's entry to give a little more information on how I'll represent the different vowel sounds.)
And now I know a little more about how words are formed: to turn a noun into an adjective, turn its final stop into the corresponding fricative. The g and k sounds don't have fricatives that are formed quite the same way; for those stops, the sound used would be rh.
And I guess that means nouns must end in a stop!
