Rationale

Roots are in capitals because they are stressed/more important. To pronounce something stressed say it louder, higher and slower (or as much of the three things that you can.) Endings are unstressed.

x was chosen as the first syllable because "sh" blends easily into other consonants. Vowels indicate case (which agrees with word order) because that's the most important function of the syllable. k at the end indicates it's a noun The end k can be replaced with a p if it's a "special ad hoc" noun. (More on this later.)
