Before we get into the root words, lets look at the word "Ienitikao" itself. The root words "Ieni" means blood, and "tikao" means branch. You can probably guess that "Ienitikao" means "blood branch", or to put in obvious terms, "family" in this context. The issue was that historically, the Omokawe (lit. The Heart Folk) took great issue that the word would confused people due that it corelated to the wars of with semi humans. This would lead the outside world to view them *savages* who would kill anything other than them if they weren't apart of the "bloodbranch". Aeziya was the word to replace "Ieni", and "Tikao" with "Khao" . Ienitikao was still secretly spoken behind closed doors of homes, so it was bought back with idea of it becoming a dialect instead with some tweaks (which we will get into WAAAAy later keep this in mind! :3)
With that outta the way, lets get into Ienitikao syntax!
We should begin at lookin at some root words for basic words of every sentence.
Ila = I Chike = Person
Oi = Me Pummu = Animal
Saha = You Shaka = rock
Oka = He Moe = To See
Ewa = She Jok = To Sit
Kweki = They/Them (Singular) Nyek = To Give
Eta= It Opoju = Big/The big thing
Sim = We Lewa = Small/The small thing
Nopa = They/Them (Plural) Normsya= Water
Sentence Structure!
Ienitikao syntax follows a subject, object, and verb word order (SOV) for its sentence structure. Adectives within sentences are evolve from nouns. Lets use an example from Biblaridion based on their video, "How to Make a Language - Part 3: Syntax". In the vid, they used the sentence example "The person sees the big animal" they make mention of the stucture evolving from "The person the animal the big thing sees". This example is exactly how Ienitikao does this!
Example: Chike opoju pummu moe [The person sees the animal].
"Opoju" is the adjective within this sentence because it comes before the noun "pummu" to describe it.
Provided in the same example, "opoju" and "pummu" can be switched within this sentence as well!
For example: "Chike pummu opoju moe."
Pummu is used in adjective sense as a way to say it LOOKS animalistic, not big. Opoju becomes the object of the sentence.
Adpositions
Adpositions are derived from the verbs of a sentence. The word, jok (sit), can be used to place a noun in a location. It could be use like this:
Oka norsya jok = (lit.) He sit water.
Possession
The possessor is used first because of the adjective like context of the possessor. So the possessor before possessor within the sentence.
