A special case of alternation are the collective nouns which are formed using the circumfix e-[root]-t, where, if the final phoneme of the root word is an elongated non-nasal consonant or a consonant cluster, the entire final consonant cluster becomes a ''stófð'':
: ''efjællt'' [əˈfjæ:ˀ], "mountain range"
: ''efuglt'' [ə̯ˈfu:ˀ], "poultry, birds"
but
: ''ebejnt'' [əˈbai̯nt], "skeleton, bones".

====Stress====
====Stress====
Dogrish stress is phonemic in nature and not always easily predictable. Nevertheless, some general rules exist.
# Stress never falls on an affix, nor does it fall on the final syllable of a regular verb in any of its conjugated iterations:
## ''umöglig'' [uˈmø:li], "impossible"
## ''kyrkelös'' [ˈky:kəløs], "churchless"
# Stress never falls on a syllable following a ''stófð''; if, within a sentence, the first syllable of a word is stressed but follows a ''stófð'' in the previous word, a devoiced schwa is interfixed:
## ''han skyljet ikke'' [ˈhɑn ˌskyljˀɯ̥.ˈiˀə], "he will not".
# Stress always falls on the pitch accent if a word has one.

====Personal pronouns====
Personal pronouns are declined according to person, gender, number and case.
In practice, the ablative and locative are, in speech, often replaced with the dative and accusative respectively, and their usage in personal pronouns is considered formal and archaic. Meanwhile, personal pronouns are the only aspect of Dogrish grammar where across the five standard varieties the vocative is still commonly used.
=====The genitive=====
The genitive can be declined according to the gender of the word which it refers to. For example:
: ''Hveres ert husið?'', "Whose (the) house is [it]?", or more accurately "Who does the house belong to?"
: ''Husið ert '''mítt''''', "The house is mine".
Here the 1st person genitive personal pronoun refers to a neuter word and thus becomes ''mítt''. Compare:
: ''Hveres ert mannen?'', "Whose (the) husband is [that]?"
: ''Han ert '''mínn''''', "He is mine".
Here the 1st person genitive personal pronoun refers to a masculine word and thus becomes ''mínn.''
=====Gender=====
When referring to an animate object such as a person or an animal, the gender of the animate object becomes leading rather than the grammatical gender. For example:
: ''Hveres ert mejlínið?'', "Whose (the) girl) is [that]?"
: ''Hun ert '''mínna''''', "She is mine".
Despite ''mejlín'' being grammatically neuter, due to the word referring to a feminine person it is declined in the feminine.
Up until the early 21st century, using the neuter to decline personal pronouns referring to animate objects was considered highly offensive. If a person's gender was not known, declension defaulted to the masculine. However, since the early 2020s, especially in the larger and more progressive cities of Dogger, it has become more common to use the neuter to refer to nonbinary individuals or to individuals whose gender is unknown.
In all varieties of Dogrish it has become accepted to refer to individuals whose gender is unknown in the 3rd person neuter and to decline the genitive using the neuter. In 2023, the Valley Dogrish Language Authority officially declared the usage of the neuter to refer to nonbinary persons grammatically correct.

====Possessive pronouns====
Possessive pronouns are declined according to gender, number and case. They precede the noun which they refer to. When a possessive pronoun is used, the noun which it refers to will only be declined according to number (singular or plural), with case and article being indicated by the possessive pronoun. Feminine words ending in -a lose their -a when preceded by a possessive pronoun.
Possessive pronouns are less frequently used than the genitive personal pronoun. It is argued that possessive pronouns have recently taken over the function of the vocative when referring to possessions, as words for which previously the vocative may have been used are now always preceded by a possessive pronoun, and if no direct personal possessive relation is present a placeholder "eð" is used instead.
Possessive pronouns referring to masculine and neuter words are declined using the same suffixes as nouns, which are affixed to the following roots:

===Verbs===
===Verbs===
Dogrish verbs are conjugated according to tense, mood, number and person.
Verbs are conjugated according to three tenses: the present, the past, and the future. They are also conjugated according to four moods: the indicative, the imperative, the conditional and the subjunctive.
Verbs always end in '''-a''', '''-ja''', '''-er''', '''-å''' or '''-á'''.
Dogrish verbs are divided into strong verbs, which follow irregular conjugation patterns and are subjected to umlaut, and weak verbs, which follow a regular conjugation pattern. Verbs ending in '''-å''' form a special case: in the present tense they follow the regular conjugation pattern of a weak verb, but in the past tense each '''-å''' verb follows a different irregular conjugation.
