This is Rŭ talon script (azúqrŏ), a logographic writing system used for the Rŭ language (Yarŭ).

See here for a chart explaining the grammar visually.

Below, I have provided an explanation (hopefully correct) of Yarŭ grammar and pronunciation and definitions of the above symbols, along with some compounds and derived forms. Note that these are just the simplest words--Yarŭ is polysynthetic, so there are a LOT of compounds and compound glyphs. (Also, I'm running up against FA's description-length limit.)

This document does not fully address all dialects. It is only authoritative for standard (i.e. Qrazhu gryphonic) Yarŭ and its closely related dialects, Ya'iză and Ya'éză (spoken by the gryphon flocks bordering the Iză, or Peaceful Sea, and the draconic Éză flock, respectively.) In particular, the Yathélagra dialect will require its own table, since it uses a different set of consonants than standard Yarŭ, lacking 'z', 'zh', and 'zr' but including 'g', 'd', 'gr', 'dr', 'th', and 'thr'. Also, some of its pronunciations collide directly with standard Yarŭ (with e.g. zha (flock) becoming cha in Yathélagra), and it's usually written in a cuneiform script. (Indeed, the cuneiform pronunciation keys were originally adapted from educational texts intended for Yathélagra speakers learning gryphonic dialects of Yarŭ. Then the Éză and the gryphons decided they liked them and started using them too--albeit often in a simplified talon-scratch form adapted to non-clay media.)

Note on grammar--syntax, morphology, and morphosyntactic alignment.

Yarŭ is a tonal, agglutinative, polysynthetic language with an ergative-absolutive alignment. Ergative-absolutive means that instead of distinguishing between the subjects and objects of verbs, as nominative-accusative languages like English do, you distinguish whether a word is the subject, or more properly the "agent", of a transitive verb (ergative case) or not (absolutive case). Agglutinative essentially means that every word you speak either is added to a stack or operates on it. Agglutinative languages use concatenation (as opposed to, say, stem changes) to build words and phrases. Finally, polysynthetic means that there is a high morpheme-to-word ratio, as the language makes heavy use of noun and verb incorporation, often using entire sentences as nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, and even prepositions. Often a complex sentence involving multiple agents and objects can consist of just a few "words" composed of many morphemes. As for word order, both SOV and OSV occur in Yarŭ. The first word you speak is usually the thing you're talking about (or wish to emphasize), regardless of whether it is the subject/agent or object. A context statement (usually ending in yà) frequently also precedes the sentence, implicitly or explicitly.

Notes on grammar--parts of speech.

Yarŭ grammar is based on roots and affixes. Here I define a "root" as any word or phrase that a phrase can be built around, and an affix as any word or phrase that modifies that root. Verbs are affixes that do stuff; prepositions are affixes that say where stuff is; adjectives are noun affixes; and adverbs are verb affixes. I will also refer to verb roots, around which verb phrases (that is, affix phrases that do stuff) can be built, though per the above definition they are not acting as roots--verb phrases are affixes, not roots. That said, depending on where they are within a sentence and what other words are present, the majority of morphemes in Yarŭ can function as a noun root or either a verb root or a preposition, with the exceptions of particles, pronouns, numerals, and a few irregular cases. Any self-contained phrase formed by applying an affix word or phrase to a root word or phrase is itself a root.

Roots can also be applied to other roots like affixes, facilitating multiple forms of incorporation; even irregular roots without verb forms can be incorporated in this way, as in the words zá'i and vèrqwe. (Similarly, while I mark numerals as "root only", in truth they do have an affix function--when they follow other numerals, they introduce additional digits, following a fairly ordinary biggest-to-smallest place-value system--albeit dozenal instead of decimal. Rŭ find it more comfortable, and that we divide by 3 more often than by 5.)

In contrast, affixes applied to verb roots produce verb phrases; however, in this case, the order differs, with all incorporated roots and all affixes other than e coming before, not after, the verb root, with i, zàr, or izàr preceding it immediately if present; similarly, within verb phrases, incorporated roots receive precedence over particle-delimited affix phrases, being listed immediately before the verb root (save for i and zàr receiving still higher priority if they are present.) (Of course, since a complete sentence is a root, any root or affix can come after.) Applying a verb phrase to a root completes a sentence (yielding a root.) A verb phase can only yield a root by being applied to a root.

A regular root has both noun and verb forms, while an irregular root (a; numerals and pronouns) lacks a verb form and the irregular verb rí can only be a verb. There are also particles, words which are neither nouns nor verbs and can only serve as affixes--save for the irregular "particle" i, which can also act as a noun root. Particles always come after the roots or phrases they modify, with the exception that the irregular particles é and i come before noun roots (thus modifying only the noun root, not the whole phrase). Also, the irregular particles é and i can, by virtue of their peculiar positioning, act on regular particles, allowing the rootless é and the affix form of i to do root-like things (e.g. évī, "large", which allows é to apply to phrases like a regular affix). The particle zàr, which is regular after roots but irregular when used to modify verbs, is only able to precede (and thus act upon) the verb root just as é does with noun roots (although, as an affix acting upon a root, it can form part of an incorporated root.) In comparison, the ergative particles rá and lá are regular, but can only follow nouns or noun phrases.

Strictly speaking, all complete sentences in Yarŭ begin with a noun phrase (built around a noun root) and end with a verb phrase (built around a verb root). Yarŭ is a high-context language, however, so an affix or affix phrase can be spoken by itself if the root is understood from context. (With no words spoken prior, the particle yà explicitly closes over the current context in a conversation, while a construction like yàvráwā, literally "from not-that", can explicitly discard it to establish a new context.) Complete sentences are themselves roots, and can be treated as such. The particle ví forms adjective phrases from roots; if the resulting phrase precedes a verb, it functions as an adverbial phrase. Within noun and adjective phrases, the noun root comes first, with affixes (including other nouns, in the case of noun incorporation) following it, while within verb phrases, the verb root jumps to the end, with zàr, i, or izàr immediately preceding it if present. (Compare the verb phrase révīlī, "is green" to the noun phrase lírē, "green light".) Prepositional phrases behave like adjective phrases; in general, the word order of the phrase depends on whether it is built on a noun root or a verb root. In functional programming terms, a noun root is an atom, an affix or affix phrase is a function, and a complete sentence is a closure.

Notes on grammar--time.

You may notice there's not a lot of explicit mention of time and that pretty much everything seems to be in the present tense. We prefer to take care of that stuff with context--enormous swaths of grammar are accomplished by stating some context, saying yà or something, and then modifying the resulting phrase with affixes. Also, Rŭ do not really subscribe to linear time, so we tend not to fix time along a line except insofar as causality or narrative requires it. Rather, we perceive and conceptualize time in terms of narrative and context--a narrative happens here or there in space, time, and/or circumstance, and the Rŭ approach is to stick that behind a yà and speak in present tense--the context being established, the narrative under discussion can be treated as if it is in the present. However, zàr and zào, among other things, can be used to establish whether an action or narrative has proceeded to completion, while demonstratives like qwà, qà, áiqà, and qái and constructions like and yàwá can be used over the course of a narrative to establish the sequential progress and interrelation of events. Finally, if all else fails, you can still fall back on words like yàrí, rízàr, rĭ, and ché.

Note on gender.

We don't really...have it, in that Rŭ society does not assign fixed gender roles; nor does Yarŭ employ anything like grammatical gender, lacking even gendered pronouns. Rŭ exhibit minimal sexual dimorphism (with èrqra in particular exhibiting almost none) and our hormonal profiles are highly variable, shifting between estrogenic and testosteronic in response to environmental and behavioral cues. We certainly have medical terms for describing reproductive anatomy, but in nearly all ordinary conversation, which sort you've got is completely irrelevant. There is also no pair-mating instinct--Rŭ are overwhelmingly promiscuous and fledglings are reared communally, so we also don't have specific words for family members like "mother" or "father", nor any word for "marriage".

That being said, we do have something that is similar to gender in the social-performative sense, and there are three of them. These are zhìr (hens), qwí (nest helpers and cooks), and vár (hunters.) Vár and qwí are more likely to be male and zhìr are more likely to be female, but it's very loose and fuzzy. To explain Rŭ society entirely in terms of food: The vár get the food, the qwí prepare it, and the zhìr convert it into new Rŭ, whether by birth or nursing. All of these roles are porous and mutable, and Rŭ move between them frequently. Their hormonal profiles actually change to match, with vár tending to develop teats and increased estrogen if they stay at the nesting grounds long enough, while zhìr and qwí develop increased muscle mass and higher testosterone if they spend more time hunting. So, for example, female vár wishing to become pregnant may leave the zhavàr (hunting flock) to instead join the zhawí (nest-flock), and qwí or zhìr who are bored of the nesting grounds (ilăwí) may likewise leave those roles to become vár. As for qwí, while zhìr tend to chicks and fledglings, qwí tend to the needs of zhìr, such as feeding and preening them. Along with zhìr, qwí often also engage in a variety of productive labor near the nesting grounds, such as weaving harnesses, creating art, educating fledglings, and carving masonry. Finally, while all Rŭ certainly have the right to protect themselves, only vár are permitted to engage in ceremonial warfare (when cultural or political circumstances call for it.) So only vár may join talon-flocks (zhaqrŏ)--but pretty much any Rŭ can become a vár if they want to.

Note on pronunciation.

This is a bird language. No, seriously--you are expected to speak it with an oscine or oscine-equivalent syrinx, and not having songbird-equivalent vocal anatomy would constitute a catastrophic speech impediment. IPA cannot help you here--Yarŭ makes extensive use of frequency modulation and duophony. Those of you unfortunate enough to have been born with, say, vocal cords will at best be able to fake some of the sounds well enough that a Rŭ might be able to guess what you're trying to say if they stand close enough (albeit with a wince of vicarious shame on your behalf.) So to be clear, these letters I am using to transliterate these sounds do not, in general, correspond to sounds in human languages, though I try to note useful similarities as they arise. So don't assume that they obey any familiar orthography--they do not and cannot, and if you do not read the pronunciation notes below (and you elect instead to, say, read them as if you were reading English) you will mangle the pronunciation utterly beyond recognition. On the other hand, if you make everything sound as birdy as possible, you might well get it right. (Again, don't be shy. It's literally an alien language--what did you expect, to sound normal?)

The consonants:
': Just a glottal stop. Appears between any two syllables where the second begins with a vowel (e.g. zá'i, Ilă'u.) We don't really have lengthened vowels as such (though tones vary in duration) so repeating "a" just gives you "a'a'a'a'a", not "aaaaa".
y-: Not really a consonant so much as a word-initial "i" that slurs into another sound.
w-: Like "y" but with word-initial "u" instead.
v-: Like "w" but modulated with a low tone (but not as low as the growl of "r".) Yep, we're already into the freaky bird noises. You were warned.
r-, -r: A deep, growly trill down in the throat. Don't be shy! This is every Rŭ's favorite consonant. It is the only trill in Yarŭ that can occur at the end of a phoneme.
z-: A sharp, frequency-modulated chirp. Rŭ form this entirely in the syrinx and don't involve the tongue at all, but folk with vocal cords can sorta fake it with "tz" (think German "z").
l-: Pretty much the only sound that Rŭ move their tongues to say. There's actually nothing weird with this one--it's just "l".
zh-: A midrange frequency-modulated trill. As with "z", Rŭ form this entirely in the syrinx, never involving the tongue. Vocal-cord havers can sorta fake it with the soft "g" at the end of "garage".
ch-: "zh" but with a sharp, sudden onset. Again, all syrinx and no tongue--but if you don't have a syrinx, you can half-ass it with a hard "j" like in "jerk".
q-: Welcome to half the plosives in this entire language! As with most of our sounds, we form it in the throat, so it basically sounds like Arabic "qoph".
qw-: Weird birdy throat noises again! This is a "w-" with the same sharp onset as "q-". Unlike "q", however, it isn't really a plosive. It's like a softened "q" that opens up from a deep resonance, like it's a cartoon character yanking your beak open and springing out of your throat.
qr-: Like "r-" but with a "q-" like sudden onset. Here's the other plosive--though it's not as sharp as "q-", and in calmer speech it can sound like as a sharper, rougher "r-" that begins more abruptly. In angry or emphatic speech, however, it becomes a brutal, snarling kind of sound, arguably the harshest phoneme in Yarŭ, and features prominently in some staple expletives.
zr-: A chirp leading into a low trill. Given a null vowel, it can accept a deep tone, as "zř". (Not to be confused with Czech "ř"--that actually sounds much closer to "zh-" above, and is arguably the best approximation of "zh-" in any human language.)
vr-: A 'v-' that transitions into "r-". Only accepts rising tones.

The vowels:
"a": Plain ol' relaxed open front unrounded monophonic vowel. The usual. Open your beak and go "a".
"i": With a neutral tone (as in the word i) this is a harmonic vowel, consisting of two or more harmonically-related notes spaced between one and several octaves apart; otherwise, with other tones, it is a single clean note with minimal harmonics. (In the more lyrical Iză and Éză dialects, this vowel is also harmonic in the case of a deep tone.) Vocal-cord havers can sorta fake both by going "eee" just right.
u: Close back monophonic "rounded" vowel. You know this one, just go "ooo". Close your beak a little, get some resonance. (Note that rounding, as such, is not a feature of Rŭ speech. We have hard tomia, not lips. We can't actually round anything. However, the anatomy of the syrinx allows resonances to be introduced that result in "u" and "o" tending to sound rounded. This "rounding" is more pronounced in draconic dialects of Yarŭ, such as Ya'éză and Yathélagra, than in the gryphonic dialects, such Yaqrazhu or Ya'iză.)
"e": Mid monophonic vowel, or mid chorded polyphonic vowel; in the latter case, two or more different notes form a chord (exactly which one(s) can vary by dialect, region, individual speaker, and mood), in contrast to "i", which is the same note on two or more different octaves. As with "i", polyphony only occurs with the neutral tone (except in the Iză and Éză dialects, where it occurs with this vowel for all tones.) If that sounds confusing, just go "eh".
o: Open back "rounded" monophonic vowel, roughly in between English "o" and Scandinavian "å". (As with "u", the "round" quality arises in the syrinx--beaks can't make an "o" shape.) Some words with "u", especially trills with rising tones, shift to "o". Rŭ just find it more comfortable like that.
Then are also three compound vowels, where one blends into another:
- "ái" (always rising tone)
- "ói" (always rising tone]
- "ào/àu" (always falling tone)
In short, we've got one at each corner of the vowel chart, one (e) that sits in the middle, and some diphthongs, but "i" and "e" can be polyphonic, while for some tones "i" is just a single clean note.

And the tones:
Neutral tone ("a"): Flat and relaxed; shorter in duration when word-initial, but lengthens following a rising tone or at the end of a word (as in éa, zhu, or Ize.) (Sound indecisive.)
Rising tone ("á"): Starts low, ends high. (Sound confused.)
Falling tone ("à"): Starts high, ends low. (Sound offended.)
Deep tone ("ă"): Starts low, dips lower, and ends where it started; slightly longer in duration than the rising or falling tone. Often becomes a flat low tone in rapid speech. (Sound disappointed.)
High tone ("ā"): A long high tone. Never word initial; only occurs as a result of tone shifts. Sounds starting with "'-", "y-" (save "yà"--see below), "vr-", "zr-", "qr-, "qw-", and "-r" do not shift; nor do "ái", "ói", or "ào" sounds. Otherwise, any rising tone that follows a rising or high tone will shift to a high tone. (Sound apprehensive.)

Finally, some irregular phonetic cases:
- Word-final "r" becomes a doubling of the initial consonant of the next word if it is "y", "w", "v", "vr", or "l", but only in two cases: One, the first tone is falling and the second is either rising or deep (e.g. "èr" + "lí" → "èllí".) Two, the first tone is rising and the second is falling, high, or neutral (e.g. "ár" + "wá" → "áwwā".) In turn, there are exceptions to this exception--expletives such as "chàqqrà" break the rules precisely to sound more cacophanous.
- If a phoneme ending in "á" is doubled, the second loses its consonant and takes on a high tone, e.g. "wá" + "wá" would be read "wá'ā". This does not apply to lá. If lá is doubled--as might occur in compounds incorporating alá as a root--it will form up with là to form either lálà or làlá, depending on what fits the surrounding tones better.
- "Yà" after any "-r" sound with a falling tone becomes "-qqā", assimilating the trill.
- For any "r-" or "vr-" sound with a rising or deep tone (e.g, "vrá", "ră"), the trill is continuous through the entire syllable.

Definitions.

a: Empty noun root. Irregular root. Words are built on this. (For you Lisp nerds out there, this is "(" not followed by a function.) (éa, "moon" (astronomy) or Éa, goddess of possibility, narrative, and mathematics, depicted as an eagle or gryphoness whose plumage shines with starlight (spiritual contexts); aví, "kind", "type")
yà, qā: Context/phrase closure particle; encloses prior words or sentences as context. Regular particle. "Qā" after "-r" sounds with a falling tone. Turns the preceding context into A Thing. (For the Lisp nerds--yà is ")".) Often implicit. Also, since everything in Yarŭ is in the absolutive case unless marked with rá or lá, any phrase enclosed by yà is absolutive by default, though the resulting phrase can of course be made ergative by appending rá. Yà can also serve to remove ambiguity by explicitly closing over root phrases so that subsequent affixes do not participate in noun incorporation and are understood to apply to the phrase as a whole (though care should be taken that it is not confused with an absolutive marker.) In general, yà is the source of much of the structure of Yarŭ, and since Yarŭ relies heavily on phrase structure to determine what the words in a sentence will do, the mastery of Yarŭ is, to a surprisingly large degree, the mastery of yà and rá--that is, of context and agency. (ayà, "that (which) ..." (subject of intransitive verb or object of transitive verb); ayàrá, "that (which)..." (agent of transitive verb); ayàví, "whole, complete"; ayàvíyà, "completeness"; yàvráwā, "Unrelated to that...", "On another note...")
i: Peace, harmony, or to harmonize; harmonitive particle. Root or irregular particle. Comes before noun roots, verb roots, or regular particles or after root phrases (but cannot operate on ĕ since it cannot be a verb root.) When applied to verbs, it can indicate that this action or outcome is desired, appropriate, or harmonious, in effect forming a kind of subjunctive. (It can even do this if the verb itself is only implied, as in áyèrrá'i, though only if the implied verb is transitive, since the rá does most of the implying.) If other affixes or affix phrases are also modifying the same verb, then unless they are zàr they will come before i. If zàr is also present, then izàr- will prefix the verb and all other affixes in the verb phase will precede that. (iví, "true", "harmonious"; ivrá, "disharmony", "falseness"; ivrávī, "false"; ivrázár, "treachery"; ichào, "discord", "chaos"; ichàoví, "chaotic", "disharmonious"; yà'i, affirmative acknowledgement)
u: Top; high; above, up (prep.). Regular root. (a'u, "covering"; irì, "ritual"; irìzhu, "morning ritual"; urì, "to raise" (v.t.); ule, "more"; uví, "high", "tall"; uye, "upward")
ya, yá: Song, speech, or sound, or to make such (v.i., v.t.). Regular root. Only "ya" in initial position. (Yarŭ, "song of the Rŭ"; iyá, "music, poetry"; "ayá", "a talk", "a speech", "a reading"; ivráyā, "to lie" (v.i.); yazrí, "prayer"; yazhí, "instruction", "teaching"; ayázhī, "a lecture"; yaqwŏ, "dirge"; yazríqwŏ, "funeral rites"; yaqwì, "syllable", "phoneme"; ayázū, "voice recording"; iyázū, "song recording"; iyáră, "love song" (literal); yară, "love song" (lewd euphemism); ya'éră (same thing but louder))
va, vă: Deep; the depths. Irregular root. Mainly used in rituals. (éva, "abyss"; vază, "depths of the sea"; zeva, "deep space")
wá, vá: Of, for. Syntactically speaking, XYwá = "Y of/from X". Often implicit. Can also form conditional statements. Regular particle. (awá, "origin"; àr Izewá, "I'm from Ize"; Qrŏ'éawá, "Talons of the Moon" (name of famous general); yàwá, "it follows from the preceding context that..."; yàlăwá, "the preceding context being granted...")
á, qá: Unknown thing or question. Regular root. (áqà, "what's that?"; qwrchí'ă, "care for tea?")
ă: And. XYă = "X and Y". Regular particle.
ár, yár: Right (prep.). Regular particle. (áyye, "to the right"; árzhuye, "to the north")
àr, yàr: First-person pronoun. Irregular root. (àwwá, "mine", "of mine")
và: That which is distant; to open (v.i., v.t); away, out, or far. Regular root. (évà, "void"; vàyú, "to fly away")
vár, wár: Hunter; to search (v.i.); to stalk (prey) (v.t.) They gather food and other necessary materials for the zhawí (nest-flock), and fight to protect it if necessary. Talon-flocks (zhaqrŏ) are formed of vár. Regular root. (avár, "a search"; évár, "hunt leader", highest-ranking vár in a flock)
vàr, wàr: Hunting; to hunt as a flock (v.i., v.t.). Regular root. (avàr, "a hunt")
rá: Ergative/agency particle. Marks the preceding word or phrase as the subject (agent, to be precise) of a transitive verb. (For the Lisp nerds--here's your lambda.) Mystical connotations in some contexts. Regular particle. Can only be used on nouns and root phrases. (ará, "ergativity", "agency", "animus", "force"; érā, "power"; érāvī, "powerful"; irá, "benevolence, goodwill"; irávī, "loving, benevolent"; Érārē, god of plants and writing, depicted as a gryphon with forest-green feathers; Érāză, goddess of the sea, depicted as a dragoness with deep-blue scales; Érāzī, god of metal and craft, depicted as a dragon with copper scales; Érāze, goddess of the sky and seasons, depicted as an abundantly feathered dragoness with plumage and scales of sky-blue and white; Érāzhu, god of the sun, depicted as a gryphon with brilliant golden feathers; Érāzhór, god of salt, scents, cuisine, and chemistry, depicted as a gryphon with sea-green feathers; Érāchàr, goddess of storm, lightning, and electricity, depicted as a gryphoness with bright-white plumage, a gloomy shadow, and talons of lightning; Érāchì, goddess of fire, depicted as a gryphoness with feathers of flame; Érāqra, god of stone, earth, and gravity, depicted as a dragon with scales of stone; Érāzră, goddess of volcanism, depicted as a dragoness with scales of incandescent basalt)

(ară, "affection"; răví, "loving"; érăví, "passionate"; iră, "adoration"; éră, "passion", "romance"; chàră, "I love you"; răzha, love for/loyalty to one's flock; răzhìr, romance between zhìr, usually with sapphic connotations; răzhawí, more general term for romantic relationships involving the zhìr and/or qwí of a nest-flock; răqwí, romance specifically between qwí, usually with gay and/or genderqueer connotations; răvár, romantic bonds among hunters and talon-flocks; răzhawí, romance among the zhìr and qwí of a nest-flock, including răzhìr and răqwí. rărì, "to make love" (v.i., v.t.); răwí, mating in the nest; ră'u, mating in high places; răvàr, mating after a hunt or battle)
zá: Feather, or to fledge. Can also refer to small pieces, parts, or instances of things, especially those making up a larger whole. Regular root. (azá, "plumage", "fluff"; záyū, "flight feather" (lit. "feather (that) flies"); ézā, "primary feather"; zázrí, "antenna feathers"; záqrí, "to preen"; zálă, "to molt" (v.i., v.t.); zázà, "to shed (feathers)" (v.i., v.t.); zá'ā,"fluff"; azá'ā, "padding", "insulation"; azávī, "soft"; ézāvī, "fluffy", "plush"; zárē, "leaf"; zárēzră, "blackleaf", plant steeped as a tea for use as a contraceptive; záya, "word"; zázhī, "idea"; zá'i, one of several colors or notes making up a harmonious whole, whether musical, chromatic, or otherwise; zá'izŭchă, "The Twelve Colors", poetic name for Éa, Avrá, and their fledglings)

zár: Heart; to trust (v.i., v.t.). Regular root. (izár, "integrity", "discipline"; izávvī, "trustworthy"; zárzór, "kernel")
zàr: Totalitive particle. All of or completely. Operates normally on nouns and root phrases, but can only modify verb roots when used in verb phrases. (Hence, it cannot operate on ĕ.) If i also modifies the verb, it comes before "zàr", as "izàr" + [verb]. While zàr itself cannot act as a verb directly, placing it after a verb forms the perfective aspect. Regular particle. (azàr, "entirety"; ézàr, "everything"; azàvví, "whole", "complete"; qàzàr, "all of it")
lá, là: Reflexive ergative particle; indicates that the preceding word is the subject (or agent, to be precise) as well as the object of a transitive verb (e.g. "Chàlá zàqqrà", "go fuck yourself.") If a transitive verb has multiple objects, including the subject, "làrá" or (following a falling or deep tone) "lárá" is used for clarity. Regular particle. Can only be used on nouns and root phrases. (alá, "self"; alávī, "selfish")
lă, la: A place to lay, or flat open area; to rest, to allow, or to lay (v.i., v.t.). Can form conditional statements, particularly in conjunction with yà and/or wá. Regular root.
