The 19 komLang Consonants are divided into an easy set and a hard set. The most commonly used words use only consonants from the easy set. More advanced/specialized words come from the hard set. Only the 10 easy consonants are used in this tutorial (less for you to learn.)
For consonants, one character is used for one sound.
Which brings up the first difficult thing you need to remember:
x is not pronounced "ks" like "box", but "sh" like "Xi" [she].
The other difficult thing to remember is that "s" is a special reserved consonant. It is set aside for grammatical reasons (more on this later.) For now, know that "s" is pronounced as in "Sierra" and keep in the back of your mind that it will not be used for a basic root vocabulary word building, only to indicate pluralization (more on this later.)
