Tæĺf grammar notes

Prebound and Postbound forms of nouns and verbs are forms that make more phonological sense for how to take on other morphemes (prebound takes stuff before it; postbound takes stuff after it; citation form is what's found in the dictionary and is also nominative case). A noun solely in the post-bound form is an adjective modifying the next noun.

Normal sentence word order is SOV.

Postpositions come after the nouns that are modified by them, and attach to its postbound form.

Pronouns attached to a post-bound form noun are simple present tense. Pronouns attached to a pre-bound form noun make possessed nouns (e.g. ME+HOUSE-PreBound = my house; IT+COLD-PreBound = its coldness).

Consonants with an h after them or an acute accent (´) above them (e.g. ĺ, ŋh, &c) are unvoiced.

participles are made with the following morphemes bound to the beginning of verbs:

lyury(u) = present"[person who is] eating"
ly(u) = past"[person who has] eaten"
aurə(u) = future"[person who] will eat"
kə(u) = passive"[apple which was] eaten"
gfo/kfo + participle morpheme = perfective:
kfolyury = present perfective"[apple which is] being eaten"
... past perf"[apple which has] been eaten"
... future perf"[apple which] will be being eaten"
... passive perf"[apple which has been] eaten"
or something like that

The plural morpheme in this dialect of Tæĺf is -z. In other dialects first vowel of the whichever form (prebound, postbound, or citation)'s template is replaced with əula (X-SAMPA: @uL6).
