The Language of the Gwyverth Tribe
This language is the ancient language of the Gwyverth Tribe, and is used in formal settings. The equines of the tribe use it to name foals and their sacred tattoos. In doing so, the base words often are changed slightly to make it more pronounceable and to have it flow better. For example, 'Devil's Kiss' literally made is 'Chiessehire' but is shortened to 'Cheshire' for convenience. On the other hand, Aaiswika, or 'blessed mark' is simply the combination of 'Aais' and 'Wika.'
In a sentence, the noun can either go before the verb, or at the end. Ex. "Dieltho aln Lanthros" means "Lanthros watches you." This can also be said "Lanthros dieltho aln." (If anyone has a better way to explain this, I'm all ears)
An 'i' at the end of a verb changes the verb in different ways, but an 'n' generally puts a verb in the past tense.
'-tho' at end of verb signals present tense.
