dictionary

latin and custo

Custo has both a dedicated script, and a latin form.

This chart shows the equivalent characters of both scripts.

Either one is just as important, with the latin script being used more commonly.

grammar

Custo's word order is SVO, much like many other languages.

This leads to sentences being lost in translation if a word is swapped around.

For example take "Person move water", which means "The person moves the water". But if a word is switched around, like "Move person water", it could mean "The person moved to the water", so when making sentences, make sure to be careful with word selection.

compounds

Custo fully depends on compounds to allow for the making of new words with it's base ones.

Compounds are made by combining 2, sometimes 3 main meanings of a word.

For example, "The Walking Dead".

We don't need "The", so it immediately becomes "Walking Dead".

Some main meanings of the word walking are "small" and "journey", however, if it were step, then it would be "small" and "move".

So we compound "small" and "journey" to get "walking".

Dead is made by using the words "not" and "alive", pretty self explanatory.

So together they become "ti-kil kal-mit".
