Distinctions between nouns, adjectives, and verbs are indicated by gestures and intonations. This flexibility is also apparent in the names of magic spells derived from Gargish phrases. Gargoyles tend to omit words they consider to be unnecessary complications, like pronouns, and they often speak in infinitives. With practice, it's possible to deduce the implied pronouns in a Gargoyle sentence, but it's not always easy. Unlike spoken Gargish, the written language has no way to mark the intonations and gestures that make the speech intelligible, so there are suffixes that mark words as being verbs, nouns, or adjectives, and also indicate the tense and aspect of verbs.
Most gargoyles have names that describe their profession.
Other names are meaningful, like Behlem , the Just One. A number of these names are listed in the vocabulary. Writing Gargoyles have an alphabet of 30 characters, arranged in a 5x6 pattern. Similar sounds are grouped together by rows and columns. The letter u also serves to represent w at the beginning of a syllable when followed by a vowel.
