End sound rules

I wanted these rules because it would be easier to distinguish words. A noun ends ei, au, i, o or u. It's easy to remember and they all will inflect the same way. A verb ends a or e. Isn't too difficult. And adjectives end ao or eo. Particles may end in anything because I have been always bad at designing particles.

Here it is

The vocabulary is here. Isn't that why you came here.

Nouns, verbs and adjectives

And some useful interjections:

Keka! - Bye!

Next you'll see how to inflect 'em!
