Yes, but I'm doing it by intuition at the moment: I know whether a
possible root is Valdyan or un-Valdyan. I intend to take inventory
soon (but I've been intending that for years now).


I think it's something like (C)(C)V(C)(C) and [root]((V)C), with some
restrictions on consonant clusters:

a
an
tan
stan
starn
starne
starnes

are all possible Valdyan roots, though only the first two exist at
the moment.
