Dictionary for Unknown Language three
Version four of many.
This script appears in many of my works. The langauge behind it is currently in development.
Phonology(?) and Alphabetical peculiarities
The writing system is generally written in rows from left to right, but right-to-left writing was just as common on older documents.
CV combinations are traditionally written with a small vowel nested into the consonant, if there is an open loop or hook that accomodates it. Otherwise they are written with a full-size vowel following the consonant.
The alphabet is presented in the table below. Each row holds a letter and one or two variants. The first column shows the letter used to represent the symbol in English transliteration. The second is the name of the letter, also translated. The third, if I did this connectly, is the IPA value of the letter. And fourth is a small image of the letter. Then there is a spacer to separate letters that are considered variants of each other.

Syntax
Basic structure is Verb-Subject-Object; Subject-Verb-Object can be used if the subject is being stressed.
Adjectives follow nouns or verbs. Articles, plurals, and a few other miscelanea are handled with adjectives.
Contexts immediately precede verbs. A Context is a special type of adverb that is used for verb tense, frequency, duration, or conditionality.
Prepositions come before nouns, or more specifically, between the things they connect.
Possessed can come before possessor if na is used, and usually implies locative case(?). If nai is used, possessor comes before possesed, and genitive(?) case is implied. na is also sometimes used to indicate non-possesive relations which can be confusing.
