Common is, in most part, a word-replacement cipher of English. That is, the grammar and even some function words are almost completely identical to English, but with content words being swapped out for words that have no apparent relation to their English counterparts. However, the pronoun system shows more complexity compared to English, with several distinct personal and possessive pronouns occuring that have no unique English equivalents.

Pronouns

Personal pronouns

  • lon "you"
  • nee "he"
  • voe "he"
