And every word starts with, what, one of, uh, 6 letters?

Interesting, but does it have roots? I personally think that too many people just come up with random words, assign them to random English words, and that's that. At least, I think that an alphabet should be invented first, which can be a huge advantage; a lack of a certain sound, like 'th' in Japanese, can be extremely helpful. Also, certain pronunciation rules can be outstandingly useful; perhaps something similar to Japanese rendaku, in which the first consonant of a syllable not in the beginning of the word to become finalized. In a simpler alternative, they could simply be converted into the alternative that requires the vocal chords (don't know the name; things like 'd' for 't', 'g' for 'c', and 'b' for 'p'). One last thing, if each letter was a combination of two: a consonant and a vowel, that would be quite an advantage. This would also cause each word to end in a vowel.
Nice language, and I'm not here to tell you to rewrite it.

Interesting, indeed.
You might want to add that word guide to your book, so everyone can understand it. I'm sure you were already planning to do so.
Excellent work!

Yes, it has structure and roots. It's designed so that, in normal structure of a sentence, the end vowel lines up with the start vowel in the next sentence.There are rules for sentence structure, as teoi means are, is, in, of, am, it and by, so if you were saying a sentence with 'is in' in it, it wouldnt be teoi teoi, it would be teoi.
The roots, however, are hard to pick out, as one word means multiple things (no, I was not being lazy, I wanted it that way)
