Gaelic + Inuit + Hivantish + English
Inuit words subject to Irishy sound changes
Preserves a lot of case inflection in suffixed indefinite articles, via a suffixed áirithe "certain"
word order is more flexible than in Old Irish
- nom sg. ech áirithe > echar 'a horse'
- gen sg. eich áirithi > eichri
- prep sg. euch áirithiu > echru
- acc sg. euch n-áirithe > echna
- nom pl eich áirithi > eichri
- gen pl ech n-áirithe > echna
- prep pl echaib
- acc pl echu h-áirithi > echur
Definite nouns get the OIr definite article mutations (with no preposed article) + -a(i)s:
- nom sg t-echas 'the horse'
- gen sg eichis
- prep sg echas
- acc sg n-echas
- nom pl eichis
- gen pl n-echas
- prep pl echaibis
- acc pl h-echus
Capital: Daomaist, from Hivantish "Dymuwistu" <- dhuHmo-h2westu
