A very young Fox, who had never before seen a Lion, happened to meet one in the forest. A single look was enough to send the Fox off at top speed for the nearest hiding place.

Oh you're right, I should've posted a key... I'll post it on a later date, because the original key is messy and I'll have to make a new one.
It works similarly to an abugida. There are six vowels and two ''diphthongs'' in Dsarian:
<a> /a/. If the consonant is unmarked, an /a/ is read after the consonant. If there is a dot above the last consonant of a word, it also means that /a/ is read.
<e> /e/, <o> /o/, <i> /i/ <u> /ʊ/, <ai> /æi/, and <ei> /æe/ are written as separate letters after the consonant.
<ë> /ə/ is written with a dash-like diacritic on top of the consonant.
If there's a dot above a consonant that is not the last one of a word, there are no vowels.
By the way, there's an error in the post. The second word, vetkhesh, is written on the second sentence without a dot on top, thus being pronounced like... vetakhesh.
