Phormatolide (natively ꙞΔⱵŦΛLΔΠꝨXꞰ /ˈfɔrmatɔɴ̆idɛ/) is a Clofabic language spoken in Talma, inspired by Modern Greek, Hmong, Japanese, Wiobian, and the Romance languages. It preserves a few archaic features that are lost in Clofabosin.

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

Todo

• rhy = too (too much); too (also)
• rhyb = two
• abstract noun suffix (not related to Clofab -statin)
• rendaku for compounds (-in becomes construct state)

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 Phormatolide)
• -ium = relativizer

Pronouns

cephin, ceph- = this

fluorin, fluoro- = that

glycin, glyco- = who? what?

Verbs

There are two tenses in Phormatolide: 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

If the subject is the head, the suffix -ol is attached to the inflected form of the verb:

The present tense attributive uses -yl in place of -phen.

trych chloroyl

trych chloro-yl

world-NOM big-PRES.ATTR

[ˈtrÿkin ˈχɴ̆ɔrɔỹ]

the big world

amph phthozolol

amph phtho-zole-ol

person-NOM eat-PAST-ATTR

[ˈaɱf ˈfθɔzɔɴ̆ɔ̃]

the person who ate

Otherwise, the clitic -ium is attached to the head noun, followed by a relative clause that looks like a finite clause.

raskium plocazole

the water I drank

Syntax

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