Bayut

The Bayut tribe was a group of hobgoblins and wood elves that lived in Lakay's Sierra Aspera range, in the citadel of Oryix.
They lived in great gers (yurts) and hunted the creatures of the lower jungle on their home slopes. They also were fond of the use of clubs and heavy, red, spiked armour. Birds like the falcon played a very important role in Bayut society, as did honour and respect.
Their leader in 1513 was Kocajin, and they were part of the house of Ogodeyi. When they split from the house of Uitai in the 1400s, the other house formed the Uiyet tribe.
The Lakayan Liberators became great friends with them, and helped them overthrow the Lusken Empire and unite with the Uiyets once again. Their general, Sokhatai, died in the attack on Fort Helena, but the chieftain's favourite, a woman named Orthalas, helped represent the tribe in the later council.
Their language, Bayut Bayat, had vowel harmony and a complex syllabic structure that allowed clusters of up to three consonants syllable-finally. It was a typical agglutinative language that relied on suffix chains in the verbal and nominal domains. While there was a basic word order, subject–object–predicate, ordering among noun phrases was relatively free, as grammatical roles were indicated by a system of about eight grammatical cases. There were five voices. Verbs were marked for voice, aspect, tense and epistemic modality/evidentiality. In sentence linking, a special role was played by converbs. They often repeated nouns with vowel-switching to denote multiples, e.g. 'Felker Falkar' meaning 'many falcons'.
