about conventional stars...
the stars were arbitrarily classified...
a type was and continues to be named "stars of walking"... they wander
the night's sky...
another type is "stars without movement"... they are always far away
from our star...
others are named "stars of dying"... another name is "falling stars"...
each time they fall from the night's sky they become
stones...
another type is "outside stars"... they possess the night's sky's vision
briefly... C*ikal angrily destroyed those planets' stars...

notes:
-word order is OVS... postpositions (with postpositional phrases coming
at the beginning of the sentence)... modifiers (adjectives, adverbs, etc.)
come before the word they modify
-the title comes at the end in narethanaal so what should be the opening
line is instead the closing line
-compound words take the form “_____ of _____” (i.e. munkathnatova
= book munkath of words natova)
-words of other parts of speech can be made into nouns by reduplicating
the first consonant to be followed by a vowel and the vowel that follows
it and prefixing them (spritsh = rispritsh)... if there is
no consonant with a vowel following it then only the last consonant is
reduplicated and prefixed (uit = tuit)...
-a combination of the past and present tense indicates that something
was and continues to be performing the action of the verb...
-the “thare possessor possessed” thing gets a little complicated
(i know i promised a simple grammar but i forgot how wacky the possessive
can get) in the sentence starting “sausaf tanaden...” i’d recommend
starting with the innermost possession and moving outwards...
