Pieces here are from a larger Primer compiled by Leyhan. Sources are listed at bottom.
Hissing Speech
- Hissing is commonly viewed in two ways. On the one hand, it is natural for S'Kra Mur to hiss when expressing intense emotion, such as anger, frustration, or excitement.
- On the other hand, to habitually hiss one's speech is a mark of low birth. A S'Kra Mur who speaks with a habitual hiss is often viewed with disdain by others.
Beginners Notes
Differences in Form
- What is said can vary greatly between in meaning depending on which form it is said in. There are often completely different things one is expected to say to mean the same thing depending on who you are talking to. This is most obvious when speaking in the pohan form.
- -When a single word differs between the verb forms, a 'n' is often part of the q'alri form, an 'l' in the smolgan form, and a 's' in the ru'atin form.
- Example: 'I am'
- q'alrin: aena
- smolgan: aela
- ru'atin: aesa
Compounds
- S'Kra in itself is very fond of compound words. A whole sentence or idea can be put into one long word, less intimidating when broken down.
- -The subject and verb are often combined into one compound word. Starts with the subject, followed by the conjugated verb. (ae for I, yi for he).
- -You can also combine a subject and pronoun to indicate ownership. (ae when used in a compound with a noun becomes my)
- -The names for the tail gestures often have similar meanings to the emotions they express when used in speech. You can guess that some contentment or peace is involved when you hear em in a sentence. Anger is involved when you hear oloh.
- -'hhs often used to denote belonging. Suffix to the word that is owned.
- -lakh is used to denote that something is missing.
Suffix/Prefix
- Pishra - little stop - Intake of breath or skip in verbiage
- HH is the "uh" or "eh" sound in most other languages
- ZH is negative, i.e. Smolg is tail, Smozh is tailless.
- Papi - Delicately placed/sat/perched
- Hhan - suffix to indicate a delayed occurence
- Hhs - suffix used to indicate belonging
- Tal - suffix to indicate the near future
- Ku - prefix - With
