Alphabet, Spelling, Phonology

• Each letter is designated either “masculine” or “feminine”. A noun’s grammatical gender correlates with whether or not the first letter of the noun’s root word (dictionary form) is masculine or feminine.
• The alphabet can be divided into three categories: consonants, long vowels, short vowels.
• A consonant cannot be followed by another of the same consonant.
• There is no letter “k” or “x” in the alphabet.
• If one word ends with the same letter as the word after it, the words are merged, and the first same letter replaced with an apostrophe: e.g. zé ébzan (the alphabet) z’ébzan.
• There are Digraphs, Consonant Blends & Vowel Sequences made up of multiple letters (e.g. “fl”, “áé”, “spl”), but in the language they are considered single letters and treated as such, and form words in the same way single-letter letters do.
• All letters are governed by spelling rules as to whether or not they can appear initially, medially, or finally within a word.
• Each vowel must be followed by a consonant, unless it is the end of the word, and each consonant must be followed by a vowel, unless it is the end of the word (and abiding by the rules of whether the letter is allowed at the end of the word).

Digraphs, Consonant Blends & Vowel Sequences

In English the following would be considered digraphs, consonant blends and vowel sequences. However, in Cenuglot, they are considered a single letter and treated as such.
