The ancient language
of the Gargoyle race
preceeds the known
human calendar by
over 50 centuries,
making the Gargoyle
one of the most ancient
of languages, next to
the language of the
wisp.
Word order
The word order is similar to Brittianian, with one small difference. Ancient Gargoyle has No pronouns, so when a name is specified, it is usually indicated by the actual name. Later exposure to human pronouns changed it, but the ancient text did not change. The letter "ihr" was used in ancient text to use as an unknown person or being. ("Rhethu ihr maheh-Da" was translated as "something appeared") "Ihe" is an unknown, but relates to the self, and not another ("MaOhn ihe" translates to "what am I?")
Gargoyle Syllables
Ahb, Bah, Che, Da, Gug, Ire, Keh, Lo, ma, Ne, Nk, Ohn, ou, Rhe, Sil, Thu, Ut, Xom, zeh
Emphasis
An emphasis among the syllables has a dramatic effect on the meaning of the word in question. In most cases, it refers to a possessive or a plural, based on how It is placed. It's unsure but its believed that a ' placed on the end of a word indicates a possessive, while one placed in the front indicates a plural. A ' placed within a word usually had a various effect on the meaning which as of yet is unclear.
Example
"The Panther's Claws" came out as "maOhn' 'nkou"
