An Kxo Loanwords

Eventually the An made contact with humans and needed words for things that they didn't have in their culture. This is what they came up with:

Take the word (gun)

remove the vowels (g-n)

lengthen or shorten the word to comply with AK part of speech rules (g-n-n)

transliterate the word (g-n-n [ɢ-ɴ-ɴ])

inflect (ganynö ERG, gwnanö ACC)

An Kxo Grammar Skeleton

Nouns

Nouns have triconsonantal roots and the vowels placed around them depend on the gender of the noun.

Verbs

Verbs are conjugated for person (1, 2, 3, 4) number (single, dual, plural), mood (a lot of them), tense (non-future, future). The roots verb of the verb are segmented into the subject part, the mood part, and the tense part. Each part gets a different part of the consonantal root. The structure of the verb is:

subject(1) - mood(2,3) - tense(4)

Subject

The vowels around consonant 1 mark the subject. AK tracks 4 persons, 3 numbers, and 2 (main) genders (white and red). It also has an inclusive/exclusive distinction for the 2nd person.

Mood

The vowels around consonants 2 and 3 mark the mood. The moods are separated into groups based on their vowels.

Indicative:

indicative

empathetic 

Commanding: 

imperative/jussive

optative/permissive

interrogative 

conditional

necessitative

 Subjunctive:

subjunctive

a subgroup of forms from vestigial evidentials that are super fucked-up:

potential

desiritative

dubiative

hypothetical

volitive

tense

The two tenses are future and non-future. There might be past, present, and future in the future but shrug noise.
