Some Words in Universalglot

Since the original Universalglot book is in French, it's a bit tough for me, since I don't speak French. But here are a few words I've managed to figure out from that book.


ies = yes
non = no

grat = thank you

senior = mister, Mr.
seniorin = missus, Mrs.
seniorietin = Miss

man = man
manin = woman
maniet = boy
manietin = girl

pater = father
mater = mother
famil = family
frat = brother
fratin = sister
son = son
sonin = daughter

Some affixes
-in = changes word to feminine
-iet = diminutive, makes smaller as in man = man and maniet = boy.
