Re: my conlang

Hello everyone, here's a bit of my newest conlang that I sent of to a
relay a few days ago, tell me what you think, improvements,
inconsistencies, the like. I haven't typed up the phonetics yet ( I'm a
paper and pen person).
A, o, w, i, e  are vocals


Nouns
Most nouns end with -a, -o or -w, depending on its gender.
Always begin with consonants.

Gender:
There are three genders,
(A)Person/sentient being,
(O)plant/inanimate-object/mind process/intrinsic property/growth,
(W)animal/stranger/unknown-gender/thing/cycles.
Gender comes into play mostly in word creation; since gender
doesn't have to match modifiers or verbs.
However, when a noun changes to a verb, its' gender may change:

fma ---> one who interacts/corresponds. (noun)
fmo ---> the correspondence, the message (noun)
fmodel ---> to correspond. (verb)
This is because "fwa" is a person ( or at least capable of acting like
one),
but the correspondence( "fmw" ) itself is an idea.

traglslsa ---> joyful greeter (noun)
troglslso--> joyful greeting (noun)
troglslsodel ---> to joyfully greet (verb)
Traglslsa is a person (A), troglslso is an idea (O).

Mixing Genders is possible, but extremely unusual, in oddball compound
words.


Thanks,
Cristina Escalante
