General rules

Draconic language has no words for human technologies or items not normally found in nature or amongst other living beings. To refer to such "unnatural" words, use compound words instead. For instance, airplane is described as "ruronu vavera" ("metallic bird").
All words are six characters long.
All words do not employ any upper case characters.
All words begin with a consonant.
All words have three pairs of consonant/vowel.
All words end with a vowel.
The final vowel indicates the nature of the word, as such:

-a is a noun
-i is past-tense verb
-e is present-tense verb and imperative
-w is future-tense verb
-y indicates belonging (kerely nituna = my dog)
-u is adjective
-o is miscellaneous
