The '''Ris morphology''' is mainly morphologically [[w:fusional|fusional]] with a few [[w:agglutinative|agglutinative]] characteristics. [[Ris]] tends to be more suffixing than prefixing, and the fusionality often appears when suffixes cannot be stacked, but rather intermingle.

The third person pronouns belong to the first paradigm of nouns, and are much more regular than the first and second person pronouns, although not completely regular. Like many other languages, Ris uses the third person pronouns to serve as demonstratives as well. In Ris' case, they are proximal demonstratives.

The patientive inanimate singulative pronoun also happens to be the [[Ris#The topic marker|Ris topic marker]].

Dated, but the inflexion ought to work for the relay. Nouns ending in <-n> recieve a stem of <-nta>, in the declensions.
The singulative corresponds to singular, the plurative to plural, and the collective is nowadays called the plural indefinite.

====Number====
Ris has three numbers, all of which are equally common in the language. The Ris numbers are different to those of English, instead using a so-called [[w:singulative number|collective-singulative]] distinction.
The distinction infers that the basic form of a noun is the [[w:collective number|collective]], which is indifferent to the number and unmarked. However, in Ris, the collective form has an additional meaning, and can also signify [[w:dual number|dual]]s. It is thus the singulative that most often goes unmarked.
=====Singulative=====
The [[w:singulative|singulative]] ({{sc|sg}}) denotes one, single noun, and roughly corresponds to the English equivalent of [[w:singular|singular]]. A singulative noun is a single item, either of a collective noun or even a mass noun.

Ris morphology is mainly morphologically fusional with a few agglutinative characteristics. Ris tends to be more suffixing than prefixing, and the fusionality often appears when suffixes cannot be stacked, but rather intermingle.

Verbal

Conjugation

Main article: Ris conjugation

The Ris verbs agree with 4 moods, 6 aspects and 2 voices. It is split into two paradigms; one for each voice.

Three basic form of the Ris verbs is the supine. It acts like a verbal noun and most often ends in <-er> or <-a>. There are no tenses in the language.

Active conjugation

The first paradigm is in the active voice. The verbs are conjugated as follows. It is presented in the first person patientive singular, with the enclitic first person pronouns.

Mediopassive conjugation

The mediopassive voice is created by prefixing <an-> to the verb, or sometimes <ana->.

Nominal

Pronouns

Declension

Independent

Ris independent personal pronouns are not compulsory in the language. Ris is as such a pro-drop language. The pronouns decline according to 3 persons, 3 numbers, and 7 cases.


Ris first and second personal pronouns
Number→ Singular Dual Plural
Person→ 1st 2nd 1st 2nd 1st 2nd
Case ↓ Animate masculine Animate feminine Exclusive Inclusive Exclusive Inclusive
Patientive me ka kai ou nai kane our nera kera
Agentive eu keu kau ouna nau keune ounar naura keura
Dative mas kas kes ous nes kane oui nei kei
Instrumental mena kana kena ouena nenas kanan ouenar nenai kenar
Locative mou kou kiou ou niou koune our nioura kioura
Genitive mia kia ouia nias kiane ouiar nai kiara
Vocative me ka kei ou nei kane our ner ker


The third person pronouns belong to the first paradigm of nouns, and are much more regular than the first and second person pronouns, although not completely regular. Like many other languages, Ris uses the third person pronouns to serve as demonstratives as well. In Ris' case, they are proximal demonstratives.

The patientive inanimate singulative pronoun also happens to be the Ris topic marker.


Ris proximal demonstratives
Number→ Singular Dual Plural
Person→ 3rd 3rd 3rd
Case ↓ Animate masculine Animate feminine Inanimate
Patientive en as ante atai
Agentive he hai atir antir athe
Dative enai ati antai ata
Instrumental ena atan antan atanta
Genitive hei hai ai anti athi
Locative enou au antou atouri
Vocative he hia as ante athi
Enclitic

Ris enclitic personal pronouns are attached at the end of verbs, and indicate the subject or agent of the verb.

The enclitic pronouns only decline according to the core cases, the patientive and agentive.

  • If the subject is in full control of its actions, it is marked with the agentive. If it is not, it gets the patientive.

The indicative enclitics are used when the verb is in the indicative or Imperative moods, and the subjunctive when it is either in the subjunctive or in the Potential.


Ris pronominal enclitics
singular dual plural
1st 2nd 3rd 1st 2nd 3rd 1st 2nd 3rd
exc. inc. exc. inc.
Indicative and imperative
Subject Patientive -o -ei -a -on -ai -eni -ani -ouna anai -ana -ina
Agentive -os -es -as -onta -es -enta -anta -ounas -anes -ines -anas
Subjunctive and potential
Subject Patientive -a -oua -oui -or er -ar -ir -ora era -ara -ira
Agentive -as -ouas -ouis -oster -ester -aster -ister -ostra -estra -astra -istra

Nominal

The nominal morphology is split into a number of classes, and there is a variety of different paradigms. The principal parts of a noun are therefore essential to memorise the paradigm.

There are three principal parts in Ris; the patientive singulative, the agentive singulative, and the agentive plurative. These forms helps you deduce the remaining forms.

Declension

Various sound changes:

  • əs[-stress] > s / C[+plosive]_#
  • əis > ei / _#
  • əi > e / _#
  • əis > ir / C_V
  • V[-stress]s > t / C[+plosive]_V
  • C[+plosive, -nas, -asp, -voice] > C[+plosive, -nas, +asp, -voice] / C[+plosive, -nas, -asp, -voice, +hom]_V
First paradigm

Dated, but the inflexion ought to work for the relay. Nouns ending in <-n> recieve a stem of <-nta>, in the declensions.

The singulative corresponds to singular, the plurative to plural, and the collective is nowadays called the plural indefinite.
