eh, /z/ and/s/ sounds are unappealing to me and remind me of Germanic languages like German, Dutch and English. and z' sound characteristly like Klingon.
this is a SLAVIC (you know, Russian, Polish, Czech, etc.) language, not Klingon.
Though I do have "particles" that go before these words (Accusative singular is denoted with to).
However I mostly base eveything on the desire of the rootword comes first in hearing, that is to say when one says "Kýco" (girl/daughter) you can automatically distinguish from "Kýra" (boy/son). If I do make prefixes it will be for adjectives.
Reminds me, should add a prefix pše- (pSHeh) to denote a verb is perfective, this is meaning a verb has been completed as is contrasted from imperfective; "I write" or "I am writing" becomes "I have written."
but yeah, I'm a suffix person.
P.s. "qula" is not Arkhean for iron, it is the (now Old-)Arkhean word for the verb "to feel" in Imperfective Present tense. Iron would be "zýhat"
my signature is really outdated.
