clare_dragonfly: woman with green feathery wings, text: stories last longer: but only by becoming only stories (WH13: HG: gold star)
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: Gav↠(Gavath; the Gav↠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!
