=== Nouns === | |||
Like other Morytic languages, Remÿsian is very compound-heavy. A noun tends to have multiple suffixes to denote what role the noun serves. | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||

|- | |||
! Suffix !! Meaning !! Example !! Notes | |||
|- | |||
| -ÿ || Thing || Tuw''ÿ'' <br> <small>/ˈtuː.œ/</small> <br> a ''tangible'' idea (a plan) || Often used with abstract nouns/concepts to turn them into a concrete thing that can be interacted with. A notable example is in the language name ''Remÿvej'' where the turns the idea of ''Rem'' into a thing used for interactions. It is a very important suffix as with it you can make a word like ''Remÿžij'' meaning ''country of Remÿs''. | |||
|- | |||
| -dÿ || Abstract/Concept || gjal''dÿ''<br> <small>/ˈɟal.dœ/</small> <br> a ''non-physical'' mountain || Used to turn an otherwise physical object into a non-physical one.

=== Verbs === | |||
Remÿsian, like other Morytic languages, is agglutinative and makes use of several suffixes to mark person, number, tense, aspect and mood among other things all on verbs. | |||
To explain the verb system, the word ''ÿnt'' <sub>(to climb)</sub> will be used as an example. | |||

| Pronouns | Singular | Paucal | Plural | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| First Person | Wej | Wij | Wu | |
| Second Person | Nej | Nij | Nuw | |
| Third Person | Animate | I | Ij | U |
| Inanimate | Mej | Mij | Mu | |
| Abstract | Tej | Ti | Tu | |
| Impersonal | Dÿ | Ri | Ru | |

| Abstract | Teč | Tič | Tuč | |
| Impersonal | Dÿč | Rič | Ruč | |
Nouns
Like other Morytic languages, Remÿsian is very compound-heavy. A noun tends to have multiple suffixes to denote what role the noun serves.
