Notes 22 : PronunciationEach letter is pronounced with only one sound, always the same. The main stress of a multisyllabic word is placed on the vowel preceding the last consonant. Some ordinary consonant endings does not change the original stress of the word: 1.- The plural morphemes of noun: -s, -es 2.- The adjective suffixe: -al 3.- The tense morphemes of verb : -it , -on 4.- The adverbial suffixe: -im
Notes 33 : Noun The definite article 'le' is invariable. The singular noun can end in any vowel or consonant. To form the plural are added the endings: '-s' (after vowel) or '-es' (after consonant). Nouns that show living beings are epicene. The sex affixes -in and -ul are used only if necessary. The noun functions are expressed by prepositions and word order: Subject before verb and object after the verb.
Notes 44: Personal Pronouns and Possessives: 1. First person: 'Mi'('I','me') and 'Nos'('we'). 2. Second person:'Tu'('you') and 'Vos'(plural) 3. Third person (people): 'Ile' (also: 'Ilin','Ilul','Iles' , 'Ilines','Ilules') 3. Third person (things): 'It' 4. The reflexive pronoun is 'Se' ('oneself') It is used only to the subject of the verb 5.'On': This pronoun expresses general subject. Possessives are formed by adding the adjectival ending '-al': 'Mial', 'Nosal', 'Tual', 'Vosal'
Notes 55: Verb The verb is absolutely invariant in person, number and gender. The verbs end in: '-a' in the present tense, but the verb esar can use 'es' (esa). '-it'in the past tense, '-on'in the future tense, '-us' in the conditional, '-ek' in the imperative, '-ar' in the infinitive. '-im' in the gerund. '-ante'in the active participle . '-ed' in the passive participles .

Notes 77: Qualifiers They can end in any vowel or consonant. They do not show inflection or agreement in form with the word they modify. The adjectives can be derived by adding '-al'. The adverbs can be derived by the addition of the '-im' ending. Comparison is done analytically: Superiority is made with the word 'plus'. Inferiority is made with the word 'minus' Equality is made with the word 'isus'or 'equal'. For the comparative the conjunction 'kam' is used. The superlative of superiority with 'le plus' The superlative of inferiority with 'le minus'. 'Tres', ' Multim' and 'Verim' indicates the absolute superlative (also the suffix '-isime').

The suffix of numbers are: '-esme' for ordinal adjectives. '-al' for adjectival numerals. '-im' for adverbial numerals. '-are' for collective nouns. '-uple' for multiples (nouns). '-ave' for fractionals (nouns).
Notes 99: Vocabulary Expansion: A).-Word Building: (With the principles of liberty, predictability, necessity , sufficiency, power and lightness): 1).Derivation: The final vocal in any word is never semantically significant. The affixes of the verb are always different to the ones of the noun and the adjective. To form verbs from nouns the suffixes are used only if necessary: Usually the ending -ar is sufficient. 2).Compound Words: They are formed by using two words to create a new word by juxtaposition, the content word appearing last. If the prefixed word finishes in 'e' and before this 'e',it is only one consonant this 'e' will disappear. B).-Neologisms: 1). International Words: a).-If there are Greek or Latin roots in scientific or technical language, these are taken into our language. b).-Any other word of any other language, if they are internationally known can be taken as a neologism. In both cases they adapted to our morphology. 2) Proper Nouns: They are transcribed as literally as possible and within brackets the phonetical transcription.
