Another language began

Hi all!

I have just begun my work on a language, that - in my world - should be the
ancestor language of many others. I won't create a language with thousands of
words and full grammar, just the most comfortably possible. Later I think I'll
derive the other languages from that source. So this is what now I have from
the language: Some thoughts on phonology, nouns and verbs.

-----

PHONOLOGY:

The language had following sounds (excuse me, but I don't know SAMPA):

a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, palatalized l, l, m, n, o, p, r, s, sh, t, u, v, z, kh, th

The language does not allow the same consonant to follow in the next sillable, it
falls out, or is replaced. (Examples in the charts) It's also not allowed to
have same vowels stand after each other, here a 'h' is inserted. (verb 'eve' ->
perf. 'neheve')

WORDS:

NOUNS:

There is masculine and feminine nouns but only when hum... surely recognizable :) ->
persons, animals. Otherwise there is nothing. masculine has the ending: -o,
feminine: -e.
Nouns have 5 cases: Nominative, dative, genitive, accusative and instrumental case.
Numbers: singular and plural.
The case ending of the noun depends on ending (if it's a vowel, a consonant, s or
sh or z , or a liquid) and on the last vowel. If the last vowel is i or e, the
word gets an ending with mostly these vowels, otherwise mostly with a.

                singular                                        plural
stm.            Nom.    Dat.    Gen.    Acc.    Instr.  Nom.    Dat.    Gen.    Acc.    Instr.
vowel ending:
thenga          -       -na     -s      -z      -n      -r      -ra     -ras    -raz    -ru
lipe            -       -ne     -s      -z      -n      -t      -tie    -ties   -tiez   -tia
cons. ending:
aram            -       -a      -us     -az     -ou     -ir     -ira    -aras   -araz   -au
nathin          -       -e      -es     -ez     -iu     -i      -ie     -ies    -iez    -iru
-r, -l ending.
ogor            -       -a      -us     -az     -ou     -i      -ia     -aus    -eaz    -au
higel           -       -e      -es     -ez     -iu     -i      -ie     -ies    -iez    -iu
-s, -sh, -z ending:
legaz           -       -a      -u      -       -ou     -ir     -ira    -aras   -araz   -au
times           -       -e      -u      -       -iu     -i      -ie     -ies    -iez    -iru


VERBS:

There are the -el verbs, and the 'old verbs', The 'old verbs' can also have the
ending -el, but the -el verbs cannot lose it.
Tenses: Present, Past, Perfect, Future

-el verbs:
There's the difference with the last vowel, like by the nouns, though only the future
forms are different:
Present tense makes no change. Past has stm+infix 'a'+ending, Perfect prefix
'ne'+stm., Future stm+infix 'te'+ending.
