About Corscanian
Corscanian uses the dozenal number system;
0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, X, Y
The word order is Whatever-TF-You-Want, but the only rules are that numerals are on either side of the noun they modify, adverbs have to be on either side of the verb they modify, and Genitives go on either side of the noun they modify.
You can combine the verb afixes; keeping them in the order
Mood-Aspect-Tense-Verb-Subject_Conjugation-Voice, putting the letter 'i' between any two vowels that end up beside eachother. The only exception is the imperative mood, which can only exist on it's own with the verb.
