Grammar and word information to plug into the formatted bits above

Pronouns

English Sylvan


She (her) Fea (Bea) He (him) Fena (Bena) It Voa (Boa)

We (us) Mea (?) You Mab They (f) Feab They (m) Fenab


Possessive My (Mine) Mel (Bel) Your (Yours) Mal (Bal) Her (Hers) Feal (Beal) His (His) Fenal (Benal) Its Voal (Boal)

Our (Ours) Meal (?) Your (Yours) Mabel (Babel) Theirs (f) Feabel (Beabel) Theirs (m) Fenabel (Benabel)

Examples: "My tree" would be "Mel mi" "The tree is mine" would be "Mis feli bel"

Questionary words (words you use in questions) Who Ge What Goo Where Gav When Gal Why Gle How Gef

To ask a question without using a question-word, like "Do you dance?", you merely exchange the first letter of the verb into a "G". So the above question would be "Ma Gilu?", which is basically "You dance?"

Verbs Most of the verbs are regular and follow a set pattern. To change the verb to another time, merely add the correct wowel to the end of the word. It's pretty easy, just watch:

Examples: To Be Fel Is FelI Was FelO Has Been FelU Will Be FelA Being FelIR

To Have Miril Has MirilI Had MirilO Have Had MirilU Will Have MirilA Having MirilIR

Plurality Sylvan has a bit more complex plurality rules than English. While English has singular and plural forms, Sylvan has singular, dual and plural. Which means that you have separate versions of "A tree", "Two trees" and "Many trees".

Singular: As written. "A tree" is merely "Mi", as listed in the dictionary.

Dual: A "-p" is added to the end of the word. "A petal" is "Sei", while "Two petals" becomes "Seip". If the word ends in "p", you add "-ip" instrad. This is also the case if the last two letters are already consonants.

Plural:A "-b" is added to the end of the word. "Trees" becomes "Mib". If the word ends on a "b", you add "-ib" instead. This is also the case if the last two letters are already consonants.

Numbers The fey numeric system is based not upon ten, like ours is, but upon five. This means that they count like this: One, two, three, four, five, eleven, twelwe, thirteen, fourteen, etc, so what they call 'eleven' equals what we call six.

The naming system for the numbers is very simple. The numbers one to five have names. The next five numbers have the same names but with a prefix. This prefix changes each five numbers, just like we go from 'twenty' to 'thirty' to 'forty' every ten numbers. Clumsily explained, but perhaps it gets easier to understand by looking at the list:

1 Mimo 2 Mimeb 3 Sesa 4 Sesob 5 Seib 6 NeMimo 7 NeMimob 8 NeSesa 9 NeSesob 10 NeSeib 11 NaMimo 16 NoMimo 21 VeMimo 26 VoMimo 31 LeMimo 36 LoMimo 41 LuMimo 46 LaMimo

Sylvan English Faele Searal Good morning

Veli'ir po o siluelves usilu It's sunny outside and the rain's stopped

Mirali be elas i me miralkut ba! Give me the food or I'll kill you!

Salifes var Fae Silyri y rea, silyri y rea, y silur, sile o selui. Silyri silui neal rea, silyri silui neal rea, mea silu y kutae var silualbe.

The song of Life Come to us, come to us, to dancing, fun and song. Come dance with us, come dance with us, to dance to end of time.
