Clofabosin or Clofabian (English /kloʊˈfæbəsɪn/ kloh-FAB-ə-sin; Clofabosin: ƎΠΔꙞΛỺΔᖵꞰⱵΔLꝨИ clo·fabo·serotin /'klofaboseɾotin/ 'AUG-river-language', clofaboluxedan /'klofaboluksedan/ or simply ƎΠΔꙞΛỺΔᖵꝨИ clofabosin /'klofabosin/ 'Clofabian [thing]') is a conlang inspired by drug generic names (international nonproprietary names, such as sertraline for Zoloft). It seeks to answer the question "What if drug names were a language?"
Clofabosin is an agglutinative, fusional-ish language with a consistently head-final grammar. It is the most prominent language in the Clofabic dialect continuum, which also includes the closely related Asvasiran language. Clofabosin is the official language of Clofabolocin ('Clofabian land') and Dodellia (Clofabosin: dodellocridan) in Etalocin.

- Paliperidin (paliperidone) = a Clofabian religious text made up of poetry (palin = line, peridin = collection)
Orthography
Clofabosin uses a script known as ativasabatin in Clofabosin, a case-less LTR alphabet, but speakers write in a style of cursive handwriting. It was invented by the lexicographer and poet Ativan Tdap.
The full letter name is used for declining, and the short form (omit the parenthesized part) is used for spelling out words. The alphabetical order is as follows:
- X: D (do)
- Ⱶ: R (re)
- Ŧ: M (mi)
- Ꙟ: F (fa)
- ᖵ: S (sol)
- Π: L (la)
- L: T (ti)
- Σ: G (go)
- H: CH (che)
- Ш: P (pe)
- И: N (nar)
- Ⳙ: V (vi)
- Ꝟ: TH (tha)

- Ǝ: C (ce)
- Џ: Z (zu)
- Ɥ: H (ha)
- Ꝩ: I (i)
- Ʞ: E (e)
- Λ: A (a)
- Δ: O (o)
- Ξ: U (u)
- ᒣ: Y (y)
- Ɐ: X (ces) (a ligature of C and S)
For sake of aesthetics, in the romanization only personal names are capitalized.

Numerals
Clofabosin uses a base-10 positional numeral system. The digits are as follows:
ɔ ı ʎ ɺ ħ ʕ ʑ ɛ ɴ κ = 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
decimal point: :
1000's separator (optional): ·
Examples:
1201 = ı·ʎɔı
Phonology
Clofabosin has a small phonemic inventory of 14 consonants and 5 vowels.
Stress
Stress is weak and word-initial.
Standard Clofabian intonation is similar to Czech. In words with more than 2 syllables, the first syllable is not the highest-pitched one (cf. Korean, Tamil, Czech).
Consonants
Labial | Dental/Alveolar | Velar | Glottal | ||
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Nasal | m /m/ | n /n/ | [ŋ] | ||
Plosive | voiceless | p /p/ | t, th /t/ | c, ch, k /k/ | |
voiced | b /b/ | d /d/ | g /g/ | ||
Fricative | voiceless | f, ph /f/ | s /s/ | [x] | (h /h/) |
voiced | v /v~ʋ~w/ | z, (j) /z/ | |||
Approximant | l, ll /l/ | ||||
Flap | r /ɾ/ |
- The letter x is used for the common sequence /ks/.
- h /h/ occurs only in loanwords.
- j occurs only in loans and is pronounced identically to z.
- The spellings th, ch occur in proper names and loans.
- Notes
- Syllable-initial /p, t, k/ are lightly aspirated like in Japanese. However, they are unaspirated after /s/.
- Word-final /b, d, g/ are devoiced to [p, t, k]: ustekinumab [ustekinumap] 'welcome'.
- /n, t, d, l/ are dental.
- /ɾ/ is normally alveolar [ɾ] or retracted alveolar [ɾ̠], but may be reduced to [ɹ~ɻ] when word-final. It is pronounced as [ʀ~ʁ] in some dialects.
- /s, z/ are non-retracted apico-alveolar in standard Clofabosin.
- /z/ has more dialectal variance: [z ~ dz ~ ʒ ~ dʒ ~ ʐ ~ ɻ ~ j ~ ʝ ~ h].
- [ŋ] is an allophone of /n/ before velars.
- /v/ is a labiodental fricative [v] or approximant [ʋ].
- [w] is an allophone of /v/ after velars /k, g/. It is transliterated qu, gu in this case.
- /k/ is lenited to [x] after /e, o, a/.
- In colloquial speech intervocalic /b/ is often deleted or lenited to [w]: clofabosin becomes [klofaosi] or [klofawosi]. The ending -mab is also often pronounced [ma].
Vowels
Front | Central | Back | |
---|---|---|---|
Close | i, y /i/ | u /u/ | |
Mid | e /e/ | o /o/ | |
Open | a /a/ |
- Notes
- Word-initial syllables traditionally also had vowel length (marked with an underdot under the vowel in dictionaries), not distinguished by most younger speakers.
- /u/ is often slightly fronted or compressed. However, in singing it is always fully back rounded [u].
- /i, u/ are lowered to [ɪ, ʊ] before /ɾ/.
- /e, o/ are mid [e̞, o̞].
- /a/ is central [ä].
Phonotactics
Clofabosin initial clusters are similar to Latin or German:
- XR: pl pr bl br fl fr tr dr cl cr gl gr
- sC: sp st spr (str is very rare)
Historically most instances of me- have changed to ma- or mo-.
Dialectology
Palosuran accent
- In the colloquial Palosuran accent /ɾC/ sequences assimilate into geminates [Cː]: riconercept [ɾikonekkept] 'goodbye'. /n, t, d/ in this position become apical [ɳ, ʈ, ɖ].
- /z/ may be pronounced [j].
- Final /n/ is often dropped.
Dodellian accent
Eevo accent
- /l/ may be realized as [ɴ], [ʀ] or nasalization.
Southern Dodellian accent
- v = [w]
- f = [x]
- z = [ɦ] or dropped entirely
- e o = [ɛ ɔ]
Stops are unaspirated
Morphology
Nouns
Clofabian nouns can take one of many case clitics, which are not true suffixes. Suffixes for "cases" other than the nominative and the accusative are attached to the combining form of the noun. Plurals are marked with -(a)zin, -(a)z(o)- (e.g. amp·in person, ampazin 'people'; acti·n 'day', actizin 'days'); pluralization is usually reserved for animates, and are never used with numbers or quantifiers.

- cef-, flu-, and gli- can be used as object affixes on verbs: for example, fluconazole! means '(I) saw that!' or '(I) saw that person/thing!'
- cefpavir, flupavir, glipavir = say this, say that, say what
Verbs
Tense and mood
Most Clofabosin verbs are completely regular and inflect for tense and mood. Subjects may be omitted, as in Japanese and Korean. In tables below, affixes in parentheses denote non-standard or dialectal forms.
Consonant-stem verbs have the following endings:
- -avir
- -umab
- -azole
In addition, cavir is an irregular verb; its present subjunctive is kumab and the other subjunctive forms use the ki- stem: past kizumab, aorist kivetmab and future kiximab.
For V + b, c, d, g, l, m, n, p, r, s, t + suffix beginning with t:
- -ptinib, -ctinib, -tinib, -ctinib-, -ltinib, -mtinib, -ntinib, -ptinib, -rtinib, -stinib, -tinib
- -ptu-, -ctu-, -tu, -ctu-, -ltu-, -mtu-, -ntu-, -ptu-, -rtu-, -stu-, -tu-
Indicative | Subjunctive | "If" | "Only if" | "When" | "While" | Conjunctive | Adverbial | Resultative | Optative | "Because" / Quotative | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Past | -(a)zole [-(a)zol] | -(a)zumab | -(a)zosartan, -(a)zartan | -(a)zobactam | -(a)zosertib, -(a)zertib, -(a)zokalant† | -sermin | -(a)zolast | -(o)stat | -(o)stim, -mostim | -(a)mer | -pirdine [-piɾdin] |
Present | -(a)vir | -(u)mab, -mumab, -momab, -virumab | -sartan | -bactam | -sertib, -kalant† | -fermin | -lukast | -(a)vudine, -(a)virdine, -fenadine | |||
Aorist | -tinib | -vetmab [vemab] or [veɾmab], (archaic) -vetumab | -tisartan, -tartan | -termin | -trodast | -tadine, -tidine [-tidin] | |||||
Future | -cept, -vircept | -ximab, -viximab | -cisartan, -xartan | -xermin | -lukast | -clidine [-klidin] |
† somewhat high register; connotes "in view of the fact that..."
The present tense may be optionally inflected for person as follows (though pronouns in the subject force the verb to be in the third person):
Present subject affixes | ||
---|---|---|
Singular | Plural | |
1 | -virenz [-viɾens] | -viroc |
2 | -virsen | -virine |
3 | -vir |
(The present tense also has a mirative form, -virimat.)
Analogously the past tense may be inflected as follows:
Past subject affixes | ||
---|---|---|
Singular | Plural | |
1 | -(a)zolam, -(a)zam | -(a)zole |
2 | -(a)zole | -(a)zoline |
3 | -(a)zole |
The subjunctive is used like the infinitive and imperative in other languages (e.g. stilokumab! 'Sing!'). It can also be used to indicate uncertainty, like "may" or "might".
Yes-no questions are formed by adding the question particle pegol to the subjunctive: zenazumab pegol? (Did he go?). In spoken Clofabosin -mab pegol is often shortened to -mapel or -pel. "What" questions do not use this ending: cesin gliserotin(avir)? = What language is this?
For realis forms (e.g. indicative, attributive, "when", "while", conjunctive), the negative marker is -fo-: sabafovir 'he does not write'. For irrealis forms (e.g. subjunctive, conditional, optative, verbal noun), the negative marker is -tu(mo)-: sabatumab!, sabatumumab! or sabatumomab! means 'Don't write!'
- 'can' (ability) uses -tecan (inflected as if it were -tecavir; the attributive is -taxel)
- For the related sense "can do X [noun]" or "know how to do X", use X atevir (dative-stative; cf. Japanese dekiru).
- 'must' uses -mab tiuxetan (spoken Clofabosin: -matixan); the subject is put into the dative.
- Interrogative: usually -mab tiuxetanupel? or -matixapel?
- -tumab tiuxetan means 'must not'.
- 'should' uses -mab cituxetan (spoken Clofabosin: -macituxan or -macixan)
- 'may' (permission) uses -mab vedotin (spoken Clofabosin: -mavertin)
- Interrogative: usually -mab vedotinupel? or -mavertipel?
- -tumab vedotin means 'doesn't have to'.
- 'is worth' uses -xaban
- 'probably' uses -mab merpentan
- 'right when' uses -fingol or -zofingol
- Emphasis or agreement uses -toxa-/-toxu-: Ene nelcatoxaximab pegol? means 'Will he really love me?'
- There is an archaic imperative -kinra.
- "regardless of" uses -mab elucaine.
The verbal noun uses the suffix -cin/-kin/-kiren. For negating verbal nouns, -tucin is used: Gositucin guancumavir 'Not giving is worse'.
The desiderative uses the following suffixes:
Indicative | Subjunctive | |
---|---|---|
Past | -prazole, (-prozole, -prole) | -prazumab |
Present | -profen, -previr, (-provir) | -promab |
Aorist | -protinib | -provetmab |
Future | -procept | -proximab |
For example, raxin plocaprofen. = 'I want to drink water.'
For "I want [noun]", the verb used depends on the context: for example, "I want a car" is translated as fusnan ibuprofen ("I want to have a car"), and "I want an apple" is rendered olpan spoprofen ("I want to eat an apple").
The desiderative can also be used for dative-stative (the "logical subject" is in the dative) verbs with 1st person logical subjects:
- endone clofabosinatecaprofen. = 'I want to be able to speak Clofabosin.'
Predicate nouns can fill in for both cytavir (copula) and keravir (to exist). The predicative is formed by replacing the final -n in the nominative case of a noun with the following suffixes (which can be omitted):
Affirmative indicative | Negative indicative | Affirmative subjunctive | Negative subjunctive | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Past | -nazole | -fozole | -nazumab | -tuzumab |
Present | -navir | -fovir | -numab | -tumab |
Aorist | -natinib | -fotinib | -navetmab | -tuvetmab |
Future | -nercept, -navircept | -focept | -naximab | -tuximab |
The copular verb cytavir (often shortened to tavir in colloquial Clofabosin) may also be used. For example: endin voprafenavir and endin voprafen cytavir both mean "I am a teacher". Using cytavir is necessary when using an oblique case NP as a predicate: Endin funanetamib cytavir. 'I am in my bedroom.'
The predicative and desiderative suffixes may be fused as follows:
Indicative | Subjunctive | |
---|---|---|
Past | -noprazole | -noprazumab |
Present | -noprofen | -nopromab |
Aorist | -noprotinib | -noprovetmab |
Future | -noprocept | -noproximab |
For example: endin rosnifenoprofen means "I want to be a teacher".
Attributive verbs
Attributive verbs are used to form relative clauses. They may be formed with the following suffixes:
Indicative | Desiderative | |
---|---|---|
Past | -zil (-pidil) | -prozil |
Present | -dil | -pril |
Timeless | -tril, -til | -protil |
Future | -cil | -pracil |
For example, clorodil taxin means 'a big book'; endin drepazil taxin means 'the book that I've read'.
Nominalized attributives have the following forms:
Indicative | Desiderative | |
---|---|---|
Past | -zil·in | -prozil·in |
Present | -dil·in | -pril·in |
Timeless | -tril·in | -protil·in |
Future | -cil·in | -pracil·in |
Tenseless | -(a)n·in | -pran·in |
Derivational suffixes
The suffix -tin, -t(o)- is used as a patientive: spovir 'eat' → spotin 'food', inosivir 'dwell, inhabit' → inositin 'apartment'
The suffix -(o)cavir 'do' may be used to "verb" nouns or borrowed words: for example, spuisocavir means 'He plays the sbwiþ (a Talmic plucked instrument with sympathetic strings)'.
Voice
The suffixes -li and -ca are used to form the passive resp. causative forms. (e.g. spovir 'eat' > spolivir 'is eaten').
There is also a less preductive causative affix -si, which causes umlaut. (e.g. spesivir 'to feed' from spovir)
Degree
- bol- = 'too much'
- clo- = 'very'
- luta- = equative ("as X as"); also a "suffective" ("sufficiently X")
- "as X as Y" uses Y-ast luta-X
- "X enough for Y" uses Y-one luta-X
- guan- = comparative (optional when there is a comparandum, which is marked with -conast)
- peg- = superlative
gadovir 'good' has an irregular comparative and superlative: adip.avir and dip.avir.
For example, Scelasin tricib pegnibulidil serotinavir. means 'Skellan is the world's most studied language.'
Auxiliary verbs
- -bendavir 'to inadvertently X, to end up X-ing, to finish X-ing' (< 'to fall')
- -conavir 'to try X-ing' (< 'to see')
- -ciclovir 'to receive someone's X-ing; to benefit from someone's X-ing' (< 'to receive')

- -codavir 'to out-X' (< 'to surpass')
Other affixes
- -campator 'instead of (verb)-ing'
- -cillin: 'let alone'
- -cixafor 'for fear that'

- -nesib: 'by X-ing'
- -parin: like -vudine eparin
- -ro- = perfect tense, -xi- = future in the present/...
Numerals
Clofabosin uses a base-10 numeral system. For attributive numerals the -in is replaced with the classifier suffix -fos: for example, esin becomes esofos. The -avir suffix is used to build ordinals; -il is also an ordinal suffix but is used in compounds.
The counting numbers:
- 0: viuzan
- 1: esin (inanimate), erin (animate)
- "first" is sulcavir, sulcil
- 2: ribin
- 3: salin
- 4: lopin
- 5: orfin
- 6: quibin/quin
- 7: zolin
- 8: tixin
- 9: vadin
- 10: clutin
- 11: clutesin
- 12: cluribin
- 13: clusalin
- 14: clulopin
- 15: clutorfin

- 60: quidin
- 70: zoledin
- 80: tixedin
- 90: varedin
- 100: sanin
- 1000: ictin
Short attributive forms: efos, rifos, salfos, lofos, orfos, quifos, zofos, tifos, vafos, clufos
Syntax
Clofabosin is almost completely head-final, and has SOV as the unmarked word order.
- endol maximaxine nelcavir.
- I love my grandmother.
Conjunctions:
- beta = but
Existence clauses
For expressing existence the verb kera- "to exist" is used.
- etamib suxitin keravir.
- There is a picture on the wall.
Liking and wanting
Clofabosin expresses "I like Y" by the construction Y dasavir.
- olpan dasavir.
- I like apples. (cf. Japanese Ringo ga suki da.)
"I like to do Y" can similarly be expressed with Y-cin dasavir.
- faldicin dasavir.
- I like swimming.
For "X likes Y" the construction X-NOM Y-ACC dasabuvir is used.
- Lunesta olpane dasabuvir.
- Lunesta likes apples.
Similarly for desideratives:
- olpan spoprofen.
- I want an apple. (cf. Japanese Ringo ga tabetai.)
- Lunesta olpan spoprobuvir.
- Lunesta wants an apple.
Cause clauses
Cause clauses are formed with the quotative.
Complement clauses
Complement clauses ("that + [statement]" in English) are formed using the quotative. The bare quotative is enough when using it with a "quoting" verb such as epavir 'say' or atrivir 'believe'. To use the complement clause as a noun eparin, the verbal noun of epavir, is often used: Felavudine eparin vocivir. 'I don't like the fact that it's cold'.
Purpose clauses
Purpose clauses can be formed with -DESID + -QUOT (-provudine in the present tense and -propirdine in the past tense). Colloquially -RES (-stim/-mostim) can be used.
- drepatine clofabosinaprovudine fumazole.
- drepa-t-ine clofab-osi-na-pro-vudine fuma-zole
- read-PAT-ACC Clofabian-ATT.INAN-PRED-DES-PRES.QUOT buy-PAST.IND
- He bought the book in order to be able to speak Clofabosin. (lit. ... saying "I want to be able to speak Clofabosin")
In the first person -DESID + -CONJ can be used (-prolukast in the present tense and -prazolast in the past tense).
Tense agreement
Tense agreement states that dependent clauses must have the same tense as the main clause.
- endozopin obinutuzumab, predsertib diralizole.
- So that my body might not be dirty, I always got washed.
