Insults
There is at least one insult in the Sycorax community. It is as of yet unknown what is means, however, it seems to be very hurtful. The Tenth Doctor, having been newly regenerated from his previous incarnation and therefore become a whole new man, challenged the leader of the Sycorax to a battle for planet Earth. To push the Sycorax leader's anger even further the Doctor used this insult against him.

Grammar
From a linguistic point of view, Sycoraxic shares similarities to Welsh, in the fact that it has no indefinite article, such as "a" or "an". Furthermore, it also uses no definite articles, such as "the".
 * Soo gan praktil venis.
 * You are [a] very funny slave.


 * Kelprak venis Iisaak.
 * Summon [the] slave called Ishak.

It appears that some adjectives have different forms depending on whether they are in front of a noun or alone. Prakchilo and praktil both mean 'funny', however prakchilo has been observed to change to praktil when used before a noun.

Following the theme of missing words, Sycoraxic is a context based language. It relies on the listener and speaker both understanding the situation so that they can both ignore the need of an auxiliary or basic verb to form compound tenses and basic sentences.
 * Soo kodsyla.
 * You [have] [a] choice.


 * Soo gralta jalvaan [...]
 * You[r] vault [will be] surrendered.
