===Processes=== | |||
The obstruents /p t k tʰ kʰ f θ x/ are lenited to [b d g t k v ð ɣ] after a vowel and after voiced sounds (including lenited obstruents, and except /ɾ/). This is called ''ʔankadö'' in Netagin. | |||
Morphologically, sequences /rC/ often turn into geminates, due to historical assimilation. | |||

Netagin is written in a native left-to-right abjad. | |||

:''See also: [[Netagin/Declension]] and [[Netagin/Gzarot]]'' | |||
The Classical Netagin noun system is typical of "old" Talman languages: nouns, which have gender, inflect for number and state; verbs take both subject and object affixes and display changes according to their syntactic environment. | |||
Netagin uses a consonantal root system like the Semitic languages. Most roots have three consonants but some may have two or four, the latter mostly in reduplicated or onomatopoeic roots. | Netagin uses a consonantal root system like the Semitic languages.

===Nouns=== | ===Nouns=== | ||
Classical Netagin has innovated a sex-based gender system with masculine and feminine genders: | Nouns are traditionally divided into two genders (masculine, feminine), but a four-gender analysis ({masculine, feminine} × {animate, inanimate}) is more common in modern linguistics. There is an inverse number suffix (one for each gender): animate nouns have an unmarked singulative and the inverse number suffix in the collective while inanimate and mass nouns have the inverse number suffix in the singulative and an unmarked collective. | ||
There is also a construct state, which is often marked with stem changes. | |||
Nouns have a definite article ''ʔes-''. | |||
Classical Netagin has also innovated a sex-based gender system with masculine and feminine genders: | |||

# The word for "lady", '' | # The word for "lady", ''bī3ō'', became the normal word for "woman" (like how ''Frau'', formerly "lady", became the normal word for "woman" in German). | ||
# Thus, the former honorific agreement (in the third person) analogized to all women and became the feminine gender. | # Thus, the former honorific agreement (in the third person) analogized to all women and became the feminine gender. | ||

The demonstratives are ''ŋo'' 'this' and ''ri'' 'that'. With nouns, demonstratives may either precede or follow the noun but there's a difference in connotation. For example, "this bird" is either ''ʔes-xod ŋo'' or ''ŋo ʔes-xod'', but the latter has the force of "this very bird". | |||

===Case markers=== | |||
The two case markers are: | |||
*''ʔes'' = indirect case | |||
*''yi'' = direct case | |||

When preverbs such as negation or subordinate conjunctions are used, the verb takes the "opposite" aspect of unpreceded verbs: | |||
*''låxx'' 'I come (imperfective)', ''så xalån'' 'I do not come (imperfective)', ''niþ xalån'' 'if I come (imperfective)' | |||
*''xalån'' 'I came (perfective)', ''så låxx'' 'I did not come (perfective)', ''niþ låxx'' 'if I came (perfective)' | |||
===Relative clauses=== | |||
Netagin relative clauses often use the verbal noun instead of a finite verb (cf. ''the flavor of your choosing''). | |||
