Nouns

Chthryxolidin has three cases: nominative, accusative and genitive.

Plurals and collectives are formed with -az and -os.

The definite article is ce(n) ___, which is cel in the genitive. It triggers lenition in the accusative and genitive:

  • ce χyphro /kʰe xybʰro/ "the blood (nom.)"
  • ce χhyphro /kʰe ɣybʰro/ "the blood (acc.)"
  • cel χhyphro /kʰeʟ ɣybʰro/ "the blood (gen.)"

Adjectives and attributive verbs are also lenited after a noun in the accusative.

Verbs and adjectives

Verbs use -(e)n in the present. The past tense is formed with a preposition al 'after' which triggers lenition. Future is marked by an auxiliary se (from *sken "go").

  • cen am certon /kʰen am kʰertʰo/ = 'the man sleeps'
  • cen am al cherto /kʰen am aʟ gʰertʰo/ = 'the man slept'
  • cen am se certo /kʰen am se kʰertʰo/ = 'the man will sleep'

Chthryxolidin is zero-copula. The copula is zol /zoʟ/ in the past and caphth /kʰavð/ in the future.

Attributive verbs and adjectives (whose subject is the head) use -(i)l. Other relative clauses use the relativizer im.

Syntax

Chthryxolidin is SVO.
