Rough phonotactics:

basically, native words dont end in stops and its like CCCVCC but forreign names and stuff arent restricted by this.

And all native words except for 'Abigeno' have only one syllable. Why Abigeno has four? The world may never know...

"So" the special relative clause marker:

To create any relative clause, you need to use "so". You first say the contents of the clause and then "so" must be (for the most part but I'll explain the exception later) at the very end of the clause. "so" then acts as an adjective in some sort of way and will only describe the noun right after it.

Ga so ja.
walks that person
'Person that walks.'

(Yes I just learned interlinear glossing so bear with me if I do some things wrong/sloppily.)

A more important feature to consider is the fact that "so" can take on case endings and some part of speech endings. A more precise but sort of unnecessary
in common speech way of writing the same sentence would be:

Ga sor jar.
walks that.NOM person.NOM
'The person that walks.'

Another important thing to consider is that so is meant to act as a subject or object which is why it can take case endings, Check out a who/whom distinction example:

Vaun wiv sor jar.
liquid.ACC want.VerbEnding who.NOM person.NOM
'The person who wants the liquid.'

Vaur wiv son jar.
liquid.NOM want.VerbEnding who.ACC person.NOM
'The person whom the liquid wants.'

While the case is usually not marked in English, the case is mandatory in contexts where one must be clear. (I'll explain this better at some later date.)

And then sor/son can be translated as that/which/who/whom except that which and that now can be distinguished as a subject/object. Be wary of the use of which though. It's used for a lot of specific cases in English that it just hurts my head to think about it.

Next, let's talk about som which is "so" combined with the prepositional case marker. It's usually translated as which or who/whom as it's used when the relative clause has a preposition on it.

Nyar wev ae som plar.
cat.NOM be.VerbEnding on which.PREP surface.NOM
'The surface on which the cat is.'
'The surface which the cat is on.'

Mir spiv ta som jar.
I.NOM speak.VerbEnding to who.PREP person.NOM
'The person to who I speak.'
'The person who I speak to.'
'The person to whom I speak.'
'The person whom I speak to.'

While it may be tempting to put the preposition at the end (or in the case of Abigeno, at the beggining of the clause.) just like in English, you really wouldn't do that at all as it's highly recommended the preposition stays right by the thing it's describing. It would still be understandable in various cases and can even be used more poetically but prepositions in this language are heavily used and it could be confused for describing something else.

[example of adjectival prepositional phrase will be added later lol]

In general, you just want to stick to the preposition+relative clause thing.

And now to explain how to use Sos/Sosyz which is just So+genitive marker and So+genitive marker+adjective/modifier marker

[Not gonna lie, I actually created a concept that I don't even understand by accident so I'll explain how sos is used later.]

Sosyz is basically whose in English and has a weird property. Typically, it's the word "so" that describes the noun right after it. However, if sosyz is used on another noun, then the noun it's affecting will describe the noun after it.

Mir bovdoev sosyz nyan jar.
I.NOM die.CausativeMarker.VerbEnding whose.AdjectiveMarker cat.ACC person.NOM
'The person whose cat I killed.'

You can even add prepositions in the mix.

Mir wev ni sosyz hem jar.
I.NOM be.VerbEnding in whose.AdjectiveMarker house.PREP person.NOM
'The person in whose house I am.'
'The person whose house I am in.'

And then one last variant that I'm not really sure if I should make a thing but oh well, I usually post what I'm thinking about doing on here anyway so here goes:

"sol" or basically so+pertaining to clauses marker

It functions as the which that's used in turning an entire clause into a subject/object. An English example would be:

"The cake was burnt, which made me angry."

Basically sol = that variation/use of which. And then if that sol is meant to be a subject/object just turn it into solyr (subject) or solyn (object) respectively. Now personally, I feel there's a better way to do this but eh, I've already done a ton of work improving the use and efficiency of this word (before, so was only useful for that/who/which clauses.) so I'll finish the other parts later.

Next, I'll explain a way how to re-create the indefinite relative clause pronoun "what" as in "We heard what they said." Abigeno basically would just say "the thing that" as a substitute.

so(r/n) ti()

And that's it really.

And then, here's relative adverbs (http://www.grammar-monster.com/glossary/relative_adverbs.htm)

I know where you live.
I know the reason why they did it.
I know when it happened.
I know how you did it.

These are easily recreate-able by using prepositional relative clauses.

I know (in) which place you live in.
I know (for) which reason they did it for.
I know (at) which time it happened at.
I know (in) which manner you did it in.

And now that we changed the sentences in a form that Abigeno can process, we can proceed translating.

[Uh, translation later... maybe.]

Next I'd like to touch on participles. In short, "so" is also used to make active participles.

[no examples today]

Participles made in this way function adjectivally. However, you can also make adverbial participles.
