= Revive the Abandoned <i>Powerful</i> Conlang =

In 2022, I created a simple conlang at school. I kept the dictionary and added many words into it... until the dictionary was missing. Now I can hardly remember it.

...Except a sentence that I used to insult my headmaster secretly:
<blockquote><sub>0</sub>git<sup>3</sup> bob <sub>3</sub>tap<sup>-1</sup></blockquote>
<small><i>Pronounced "Trigitap-bob-untaptal".</i></small>

Now, I'll recreate it... that looks like the previous, but the meanings are completely different.

== Pronunciation ==
=== Consonants ===
Pronounced similarly to English, with the following exceptions:
* '''r''' can be any rhotic sound (e.g., /r/, /ɾ/, /ɹ/, or even /l/ like in some Japanese dialects).

=== Vowels ===
The vowels are:
* '''a, o, e, i'''
Pronounced as in Japanese (short and pure).

== Word Formation ==
Words follow the structure:
''' (prefix) + Starting Consonant + Vowel + Ending Consonant + (suffix) '''

=== Starting Consonants ===
Allowed single consonants:
* '''p, t, k, b, d, g'''
Allowed consonant clusters:
* '''pr, tr, kr, br, dr, gr'''

'''Exceptions:'''
* Pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and numbers may omit the starting consonant.

=== Ending Consonants ===
Allowed: '''p, t, k, b, d, g, r, l, n'''

=== Vowels ===
Only four vowels are used: '''a, o, e, i'''

== Affixes ==
=== Suffixes (Written Before the Word) ===
Suffixes determine the word's grammatical role:
* '''1''' (no suffix) → Verb/pronoun/preposition/conjunction
* '''2''' (-al) → Adjective or adverb
* '''3''' (-an) → Noun (inanimate)
* '''5''' (-ar) → Noun (animate)

Most pronouns, prepositions, and conjunctions do not use suffixes.

Revive the Abandoned Powerful Conlang

In 2022, I created a simple conlang at school. I kept the dictionary and added many words into it... until the dictionary was missing. Now I can hardly remember it.

...Except a sentence that I used to insult my headmaster secretly:

0git3 bob 3tap-1

Pronounced "Trigitap-bob-untaptal".

Now, I'll recreate it... that looks like the previous, but the meanings are completely different.

-2 pa- Combined meaning of -1 and 2
-1 a- Inverts the word's meaning
0 la- Similar to "en-" in "enable"

Digits are assigned consonants: 1 = b, 2 = p, 3 = d, 4 = t, 5 = g, 6 = k, 7 = l, 8 = h, 9 = r

Number Pronunciation Rules

  1. Split the number into groups of four digits.
  2. Each group αβγδ is pronounced as αaβoγeδin.
    • If a digit is 0, skip its consonant-vowel pair.
    • Special case: "0000" is pronounced an.
  3. Join all groups and prefix with i-.

Example: 1145141919810

  1. Split: 1 1451 4191 9810
  2. Convert:
    • 1 → bin
    • 1451 → batogebin
