[[Raxic]] is a nominative-accusative SOV language in the Ractamic subfamily of Zachydic. | |||
Raxic has three genders, neuter, (animate) feminine and (animate) masculine. Plurality is often not marked on neuter nouns and never on neuter verbs. The nine cases are: | |||
*nominative: subject and predicate nouns/adjectives | |||
*accusative: direct object, time expressions (duration, time of day), measured quantities | |||
*genitive: possessor, partitive | |||
*dative: indirect/benefactive object, purpose | |||
*locative: spatial location | |||
*ablative-comitative: spatial origin, cause, animate agent of passive, comparison, companion, predicative possession | |||
*allative: spatial destination | |||
*instrumental: instrument, method, adjutative (with help of someone) | |||
*adverbial: manner, similarity/identity | |||
Three aspects are distinguished: gnomic/habitual, progressive, and perfective. Neither tense nor definiteness is explicitly marked. | |||
Raxic has many mood distinctions. The volitional mood indicates the subject's desire or effort to perform an action. The subjunctive mood is used as complements of modal verbs and other verbs (at times forming a "serial verb" construction à la Japanese). | |||
