Phormatolidin (natively ꙞΔⱵŦΛLΔꝨXꝨИ /ˈfɔrmatɔɴ̆idin/) is a sister language of Clofabosin, spoken in Talma. It preserves a few archaic features that are lost in Clofabosin.

rachin = water (< *rask; ~ Clofab raxin)

Morphology

Nouns

Nouns inflect for definiteness, number and case. The definite suffix is -ide or -id- when followed by another suffix.

There is a distinction between inalienable and alienable possession: the former uses -yl [-ÿɰ̃] and the latter uses -ol [-ɔ̃].

Noun cases:

• -ine /i:n/ = accusative
• -one = dative
• -ase = comitative
• -ate = locative (from terin, house in both Clofabosin and Phormatolidin)
• -ium = relativizer

Pronouns

cephin, ceph- = this

fluorin, fluoro- = that

glycin, glyco- = who? what?

Verbs

There are two tenses in Phormatolidin: past, non-past. The non-past ending is -phen (related to the Clofabosin agentive -fen), and the past ending is -zole.

In the desiderative, the endings are -profen, -prazole.

Attributive verbs

The clitic -ium is attached to the head, and the suffix -ol for alienable possession is attached to the inflected form of the verb:

trycinium chlorophenol

tryc-in-ium chloro-phen-ol

world-NOM-REL big-PRES-ATTR

[ˈtrÿkinjum ˈχɴ̆ɔrɔfɛnɔ̃]

the big world

amphinium phthozolol

amph-in-ium phtho-zole-ol

person-NOM-REL eat-PAST-ATTR

[ˈaɱfinjum ˈfθɔzɔɴ̆ɔ̃]

the person who ate

Syntax

Due to Talmic and Netagin influence, Phormatolidin is significantly more head-initial than Clofabosin; its basic word order is SVO and uses postpositions.
