Language as Religion

Huge number of declensional cases which convey more information than verbs which remain rather unconjugated.

Word order quite free, but verb-final sentence structure most common

Also positionals and descriptive nouns instead of adjectives. (mixing mayan and yaguan)

In sacred language, every commendable leader should receive their own case symbolizing their deeds and derived from their name.

  • Confirmed by a group of high religious leaders.
  • Core cases (agent, object, subject, experiencers) are rarely altered, but exceptation occur:
    • Åjar the Maker (/ae̯d͡zɑr/) was exalted into agentive to memorate her great building projects which she also participated as a builder during the years of peace.
    • Objective was named in the memory of little Ongeta the Innocent, who was murdered after his first month of rule by fanatics.
    • Example: Kefelajr kuregta bilet sepa. /kefelɑzɻ̩ kʊreŋtɑ pʏlet sepɑ/ (soldier-agent.active rock-object.experiencer past-temporal.momentary throw > "The soldier threw a rock.")
  • Too many cases so some fall out of use

History is written and spoken but text may be altered...
