Rusa is the language and writing system used in Yveon, the main continent on the planet Marínusa. It has no verbs. Instead, concepts can be chained together to imply actions being taken.
æon æz (æon æzh)
an approach; waves
→ the waves are approaching
The Rusan language has two types of chaining: elaboration and hierarchy. For hierarchy, the word é (ve) is used. These chains work from right to left. Elaborative chains define a base concept more sharply. These chains work from left to right.
íéyíhsésel ne ter (íveyíhsvesel ne ter)
self ← twin ← sleep; in; forest
→ my twin sleeps in the forest
ktiræsin (ktiræsin)
wall / border / division + circle
→ circumference
The Rusan alphabet contains twelve base letters that can be altered with dots, chaining and combining glyphs. Each letter has a significant meaning on its own; all vowels are single letter words and all consonants are modifiers for those words.
I Í IÍ E Æ O A É Y L D T B P F V U S K X R G Z N M H
Counting all possible alterations, Rusa has nine base concepts:
i (i) infinity, undefinable
í (í) self
ií (ií) consciousness, awareness, perception
e (e) connection
æ (æ) time, wave, manifestation
o (o) love
a (a) order
é (ve) hierarchy
y (y) split, two, duality
The consonants, which modify the base concepts, are derived from seven other glyphs:
l (l) (filters)
d (d) (consolidates)
t (t) (necessitates)
b (b) (expands)
p (p) (improves)
f (f) (blurs)
v (v) (fills)
u (u / w) (replaces)
s (s) (abstracts, obscures)
k (k) (distantiates)
x (x) (negates)
r (r) (collects)
g (gh) (multiplies)
z (zh) (pluralizes)
n (n) (dimensionalizes)
m (m) (unifies)
h (h) (animates)
By combining these letters, words are created that signify a middle ground or a combination of all individual meanings.
i (infinity) +
v (fills) →
iv (totality)
When chained together, some letters melt into each other.
→ aé (a + ve) becomes as (as)
→ æé (æ + ve) becomes æs (æs)
→ ré (r + ve) becomes re (re)
A good example is the name of the city Æstereon (lit: City of the Forest of the Wind), where two of these contractions are present.
æéteréon (æveterveon) → æstereon (æstereon)
