Lesson

The sylvan language uses many apostrophes when written. One of the main uses of the apostrophe is to denote possession. A noun written in lower-case precedes the apostrophe, while a noun written with the first letter capitalized follows the apostrophe. A plural noun is denoted by an extra "t" at the end of the word.
For example...

ssara'Kait is the saviour of pixies

Verbs are written as words ending in m, t, s, p, or r. The number of nouns described in the verb determines whether the second-to-last letter is an "a" or an "i".
For example...

Ilam means "I am"
Ilim means "We are"

An "m" denotes the first person, a "t" denotes the second person, an "s" denotes a masculine third person, a "p" deontes a feminine third person, and an "r" denotes either a neuter third person or an object.
An easy way to remember the endings are "Master Timothy Said, 'Pay Rudolph!'"
