Northeadish is a Germanic language which, while similar to [[North Germanic|North]] and [[West Germanic]] languages due to many areal similarities, does not belong to either of these branches. The name “Northeadish” is a compound of ‘north’ and ‘thead’ (an ancient word referring to a folk or people). A late sound change ([[metathesis]]) in the language caused the word ''*nurþ'' ‘north’ to become ''*nruþ'', which, being difficult to pronounce, corrected itself through a process of stop-insertion (becoming ''*n̩druþ'').  Later still, the nasal component of word-initial pre-nasalized stops (all of which occur only because of this process) were deleted, leaving present-day ''druðþ''.  A similar process occurs with other Germanic words such as ‘morning’ (''*murganaz'' → ''mrugan'' →  ''m̩brugan'' → ''brugɴ'').

====Morphographemes: Scribal Shorthand====
In addition to the common abbreviations above, some texts use a sort of “scribal shorthand” which takes the place of most common inflections of both nouns and verbs, as well as adjectives (if they are inflected at all). Most commonly, this type of shorthand replaces pronouns with a single-character signifier, surrounded by periods, appended to the front of their accompanying verb. Inflection of the verb is thereby also elided. In cases where i-umlaut occurs in the paradigm (usually in the second and third person singular), the vowel may optionally change, or a raised comma may be added to the vowel.

===Relative Pronouns===
<sup>i</sup> When the following word begins with a vowel, numerals and pronouns ending in a vowel are followed by ‹r›.  This applies to the numbers tvē, tvō, and þrī, and the pronouns hī, ſī, vī, and iȳ. E.g. ''ſī gǣðþ'' ‘she goes’, but ''ſīr ærðþ'' ‘she is’.
 
<sup>ii</sup>
The neuter genitive forms may also be rendered as ''hets'', ''ƕets'', and ''qets'', though that is more vernacular and not standard.


<sup>iii</sup> By definition, reflexive pronouns cannot exist in the nominative case.


===Reflexive Pronouns===
<sup>iv</sup> Though it is in common usage, having been assimilated from the other reflexive pronouns, the words ''ſeſc'' and ''ſīſc'' are technically not correct. The common ''–ſc'' ending on the reflexive dative and accusative pronouns comes from an earlier compounding of the third person reflexive pronoun (''ſec'') onto the non-reflexive pronouns, much in the same way that the North Germanic medio-passive was formed. Appending ſec onto itself is redundant, but assimilation will out.


==Numbers==
==Numbers==
The first three numbers decline according to case and gender. In addition, all higher numbers ending in these numbers will decline accordingly (e.g. 21, 22, 23, 31, 32, 33, &c. Eleven and twelve are exceptions: see Indeclinable Numerals.)
In addition to the numerals, ‘two’ and ‘three’ also have distributive forms. The dual distributive is equivalent to the English ‘both’; there is not a direct equivalent for the trial distributive, but it would translate to ‘all three’.
(For the declension of the number ‘one’, see the [[Northeadish#Indefinite_Article_.28.E2.80.98a.2C_an.2C_one.E2.80.99.29|Indefinite Article]].)

===Ordinal Numbers===
===Ordinal Numbers===


To make most numbers ordinal, simply add ''–ðþ'' to the end of its cardinal counterpart. When a number ends in an unvoiced consonant or a syllabic (most notably -''ɴ''), add ''-þ''.  The numbers ‘one’ and ‘two’, as well as any numbers ending with them, are the only glaring exceptions to this rule.

<sup>i</sup> Our English word ‘hundred’ is actually a compound of two words, from Proto-Germanic *''hundą'' ‘hundred’ and *''raþjō'' ‘count’. In Northeadish, the singular word ''hund'' ‘hundred’ does not have the ''–raðþ'' ending, but it is added in the plural. Note, however, that ''–raðþ'' is dropped for ordinals.
<sup>ii</sup> The larger “-illion” numbers, borrowed in most languages from Latin roots, start out simply enough in Northeadish:  ''meliōn'' and ''beliōn'' are fairly direct borrowing. By the third iteration, ‘trillion’, the initial ‹t› has been replaced to make it resemble the native word for ‘three.’ The fourth through sixth iterations are also fairly standard, but the seventh through ninth are indisputably nativized. The tenth iteration, ''decteliōn'', is back to a Latin root, but the ‹te› preceding  ''–liōn''  since the fifth iteration has been retained. Numerals higher than ''decteliōn'' are still in dispute among Northeadish scholars; fortunately they are not used often enough to cause many problems.
<sup>iii</sup> In addition to the standard forms (“one hundred, one hundred ten, &c.”) Northeadish also retains the terms ''tehɴtag'' ‘“ten-ty’”, ''eleftag'' ‘“eleven-ty’”, and ''tveleftag''  ‘“twelf-ty’”, hearkening back to an earlier duodecimal system.

===Possessives & other Determiners (‘my’, ‘this’, ‘which’, &c)===
Possessives, demonstratives, and other determiners decline like ''ēn'', but also have a plural. (''Ēn'' does have a plural which is used in very specific circumstances, but in those cases it is not considered a determiner.) All determiners in Northeadish end in ‹n›, ‹r›, ‹ʀ›, ‹s›, or ‹t›. Each will have a slightly different declension depending on this final letter. (NB: These are not dissimilar to the declension of adjectives, but since these words are used more frequently and have a few other quirks, I do not want to conflate the two categories here.)
====‹n›-stem====
All determiners which end in ‹n› follow the first paradigm, which is like ''ēn''.  (Note that, as with the indefinite article, the stressed vowel is shortened for the neuter singular nominative and accusative. This is common to all determiner paradigms, because the phonology of Northeadish does not allow a long vowel in a “heavy” syllable, i.e. when a long vowel is followed by more than one consonant.) 
Unique to these determiners in ‹n› is the declension of the feminine genitive and dative and the plural genitive, where ‹ð› is inserted before the ending to break up the illegal ‹nr› combination that would otherwise result (see Phonology: Insertion of [ð]). Included in this first category are ''mīn'' ‘my’, ''þīn'' ‘thy, your’, ''ſīn'' ‘his, her, its’, ''ēn'' ‘a, an, one’, and ''iēn'' ‘yon, yonder’.

====‹r›-stem====


===Indefinite Article (‘a, an, one’)===
Those determiners ending in ‹r›, including ''her'' ‘her’, ''hīr'' ‘their’, ''ƕīr'' ‘whose’, ''iȳr'' ‘your’, ''qīr'' ‘whose’, and ''ſīr'' ‘their (rfl.)’ decline as follows. (''Her'' does not have a long vowel, so the neuter singular is not shortened.) The main distinction with this and the next group is that those declensions in ‹ʀ› (feminine genitive and dative and plural genitive) are deleted because of the phonology of the language (See Phonology: Assimilation of [ɾ].)

====‹ʀ›-stem====
 
Similar to those determiners in ‹r› are those in ‹ʀ›; the main difference between them is that the syllabic becomes non-syllabic is all but a few of the declensions. This group includes the first and second person dual and plural possessives ''iᵫŋcʀ'' ‘your’, ''ɴſʀ'' ‘our’, and ''xcʀ'' ‘our’.

====‹s›- and ‹t›-stems====
 
Finally the last two groups are those determiners in ‹s› (''hes'' ‘his, its’, ''ƕes'' ‘whose’, ''nes'' ‘noöne’s’, ''qes'' ‘whose’, and ''þes'' ‘their’) and those in ‹t› (''hat'' ‘this’, ''ƕat'' ‘what’, ''ƕet'' ‘which’, ''iat'' ‘that, yonder’, ''nat'' ‘no, none’, ''qat'' ‘which’, ''qet'' ‘which’, and ''þat'' ‘that’). The only difference between the two is the neuter singular, which is elided after ‹t›.

===Correlatives & Pro-Forms===
The Northeadish system of correlatives is similar to those in many other Germanic languages, though, through analogy, it has grown to be far more extensive than any other. The correlative system is based on six simple roots:
 
{| class="wikitable"
|-
! P.I.E. !! !! P.Gmc. !! !! Nthd.
|-
| *''k-'' || → || *''h-'' || → || ''h-'' (proximal)
|-
| *''t-'' || → || *''þ-'' || → || ''þ-'' (medial)
|-
| *''i-'' || → || *''j-'' || → || ''i-'' (distal)
|-
| *''kʷ-'' || → || *''hw-'' ||rowspan=2 align="right"| →<br />↘ || ''ƕ-'' (interrogative)
|-
| || || || ''q-''<sup>i</sup> (relative)
|-
| *''n-'' || → || *''n-'' || → || ''n-'' (negative)
|}
 
Though the Northeadish correlative system is more thorough than those of other Germanic languages, it is still by no means complete.  Many other common words already hold the place of some of the correlatives; they are noted below.

|-

<sup>i</sup> Northeadish ''q-'' is believed to have developed from a stressed ''ƕ-'', and is used exclusively for relatives.  This is one piece of evidence that the Northeadish people may have lived for a time in proximity to a Uralic-speaking population which preserves the distinction between interrogative and relative adverbs and pronouns, though others argue that Proto-Norse may have borrowed heavily from Sami and Finnic (and vice versa), yet it did not assimilate this sort of distinction.
 
<sup>ii</sup> These pronouns also decline in regular ways. See [[Northeadish#Pronouns|Pronouns]].
 
<sup>iii</sup> ''Her'' has been replaced by the dative and accusative inflection of the third person singular feminine pronoun ''ſī'' in Northeadish (‘her’, from *''hėzō''), though if the correlative were assimilated, it would have meant something like ‘this person’. Similarly, the inflections which would have been extrapolated from this form would have been occupied by the third person singular masculine pronoun: genitive ''hes'' ‘his’, dative ''hem'' ‘him’, and accusative ''hen'' ‘him’.
 
<sup>iv</sup>The medial version of the above, ''þer'' (‘that person’), has come to be used as a non-specific third person singular pronoun, much like we use ''they'', ''them'', or ''their'' in (prescriptively-incorrect-but descriptively-happening-whether-you-like-it-or-not) English to refer to someone whose gender is unknown, e.g. “Someone left ''their'' book here.”
 
<sup>v</sup>''Þū'' has been replaced entirely by the second person singular nominative pronoun (‘thou’, from *''þū'').
 
<sup>vi</sup>''İū'' has been replaced entirely by the “affirmative rebuke” (‘yes, it is’, ‘“yuh-huh”’, from *''jō''?).
 
<sup>vii</sup>''Nū'' shares a space with the descendant of *''nu'', whose primary semantic role was taken over by ''han'' (above), but which is still widely used, particularly in th sense of ‘right now, immediately’.
 
<sup>viii</sup>''Hī'' shares a space with the third person masculine singular pronoun (‘he’, from *''hėz''), though ''hī'' does still appear occasionally with the meaning ‘for this reason.’
 
<sup>ix</sup>''İet'' has been replaced entirely by the adverb ‘yet’ (from *''juta'').
