(Note: I'm not sure if this is the place to post this. Please tell me.)
For the role-play I am currently working on, what I need is words. In this role-play, there is a language which is vital to the plot. I've been working somewhat on the different words, but there are just far too many for anyone to try and create a complete dictionary alone. So, I need everyone who has a spare minute or two to pick up a dictionary, and find a word that is not yet on the list. Following the basic grammatical system I have below, I need help filling out an entire dictionary.
The Grammar of Nìtúg:
Word order:
The word order of Nìtúg is such; The noun and adjectives describing it must come first in any sentence. Then the verb and any adverbs describing it must come. Then, the next noun and adjectives must come.
Prefixes and suffixes:
The only prefixes in Nìtúg are used for tenses. All adjectives and adverbs are suffixes. Nouns and verbs make the basis of the words.
Tenses:
For past tense, you add Dur- to the beginning of a word.
For future tense, you add Dir- to the beginning of a word.
Letters and their meanings:
â implies more of something. Use it in words like huge.
a implies normality. Use it in words like medium.
u implies less of something. Use it in words like small.
o implies nothing. Use it sparingly, and not more than once.
e implies stupidity. Use it in words like idiot.
i implies intelligence. Use it in words like smart.
y implies mystery. Use it in words like unknown.
b implies western. Use it in names.
c implies eastern. Use it in names.
d implies southern. Use it in names.
r implies northern. Use it in names.
f implies life. Use it in words like tree.
z implies death. Use it in words like corpse.
g implies power. Use it in words like force.
h implies good. Use it in words like righteous.
j implies bad. Use it in words like evil.
n adds a plural.
x makes a word an adverb.
m implies yourself. Use it in words like me.
th implies someone else. Use it in words like it.
You can use more than ones of these in a word (with the exception of o) to add stress to it. You can combine multiple ones into words for combinations. I will post all words that fit these standards up here.
Please, tell me of grammatical things I have missed, and post words!
I look forward to seeing how this language evolves.
