+Plurals use a particle ''ma'' which triggers a spirant mutation (numbers likewise trigger a spirant mutation)
+==Pronouns==
+êz, enn, êth, ennel, ennez/ês, ennev/êf = 1SG
+lâ, lân, lâd, lâl, lâz, lâv - 2SG
+lær, læri, læ^r, lærel, lærez, lærev - 2PL
+SG and 2PL forms? honorifics?
+ia, iân, iâth, iâzel, iâs, iâzev = 3SG
+hŷz, hynn, hŷth, hynnel, hynnez/hŷs, hynnev/hŷf = 1PL
+tôch, tôch, tôth, tôchel, tôchez, tôchev = 3PL

+some: cen, cen, cenn, cenel, cêz, cemm
+any: lâth, lâthe, lâthed, lâthel, lâthez, lâthev
+==Adjectives==
+Invariable? Just nominative and oblique forms?
+==Verbs==
+This is only a rough idea
+Thematic verbs (ending with e, a, æ, o, œ, u or y typically)
+Change 1PL -dh to -b
+''pêthe-'': pêthen, pêtheth, pêthe, pêthedh, pêthed, pêther
+infinitive ''pêthev''
+S-stem verbs:
+''loz-'': lozin, lozith, loz, lozidh, lozid, lozir
+infinitive ''lôth''
+T-stem verbs:
+''sed-'': sedin, sedith, sed, sedidh, sedid, sedir
+infinitive ''set''
+L-stem verbs:
+''rothel-'': rothelin, rothelith, rothel, rothelidh, rothelid, rothelir
+infinitive ''rothell''
+R-stem verbs:
+''sæer-'': sæerin, sæerith, sæer, sæeridh, sæerid, sæerir
+infinitive ''sæer'' (underlying *sæerr; but words can't end in a long vowel followed by a double consonant)
+Honorifics use -r instead of the 2sg, 3sg and 2pl forms
+===Other tenses, aspects and moods===
+The preterite tense uses the suffixes -An, -Ath, -A, -Adh, -Ad, -Ar after the infinitive form. For example:
+pêthevæn, pêthevæth, pêthevæ, pêthevædh, pêthevæd, pêthevær
+lôthan, lôthath, lôtha, lôthadh, lôthad, lôthar
+setæn, setæth, setæ, setædh, setæd, setær
+The future imperfective works by removing the -n from the 1st person singular present tense and adding the suffixes -nÛch, -nÛth, -nUd, -nUth, -nUt, -nÛr?
+Imperfect? Future?
+Negative: a particle which soft mutates the verb
+===Nonfinite forms===
+(other than the infinitive)
+Attributive: same as the 1SG present or past but with -n replaced by -m
+===Notes===
+Uninflected verbs should mean something (many of them appear in the sample)
+==Derivational morphology==
+-edU/-AdU/-OdU/-tU/-^thU/-nnU/-^thU? (reflex of a hypothetical -tu/-ty in a finnish gib)
+-edA/-AdA/-OdA/-tA/-^thA/-nnA/-^thA? (reflex of a hypothetical -ta/-tä in a finnish gib)
+''-ze-'' (after thematic verbs); ''-ize-'' (after athematic verbs): passive
+==Numbers==
+oz, cîn, synn, raed, lîth, rœ̂v, fælinn, sŷtheb, rôtheb, ûth

-a-stem ''cô'': cô, côi, côad, côal, côaz, côav
+==Miscellaneous ideas==
-o-stem ''sêr'': sêr, serri, serrœd, serrœl, serrœz, serrœv
+A Wackernagel-like law (with particles such as conjunctions generally appearing in second position, like Latin ''enim'') is a Hothenese innovation (neither the parent language Ryctiac nor another descendant of it, Rhythoed, has it)
-t-stem ''mened'': mened, menez, meneth, menedel, menet, menep
+==Sample text==
-s-stem ''fôraz'': fôraz, fôraz, fôrâth, fôrazel, fôras, fôraf
