Additionally, there was a rare subclass of ''ō''-stem nouns known as ''ī/jō''-stems. These nouns took the ending *''-ī'' in the nominative singular. All other case and number combinations took the regular ''ō''-stem endings preceded by *''-(i)j-'' (according to Siever's Law).

There were also contracted ''ō''-stems known as ''ô''-stems. They were declined by replacing the ''-ō-'' in endings with ''-ô-'' (and ''-ǭ'' with ''-ǫ̂''). For example, ''*skwô'' "needle (botany)".

====''ja/jō''-stem adjectives====
These were a sub-type of ''a/ō''-stem adjectives with a *''-j-'' or *''-ij-'' (according to Siever's Law) before the ending and were declined as such. However, in the weak forms, expected **''-ija-'' became *''-ī-'' and **''-ja-'' became *''-i-''.
====''i''-stem adjectives====
These were declined identically to ''ja/jō''-stem adjectives except in the masculine nominative singular and neuter nominative-vocative-accusative singular, which took the endings *''-iz'' and *''-į/it'' respectively instead of the expected **''-(i)jaz'' and **''-(i)ją/(i)jat''. Additionally, the masculine accusative singular could take the ending *''-in'' as an alternative to expected *''-(i)jan''.
The weak forms were identical to those of ''ja/jō''-stems.
====Consonant-stem adjectives====
These were declined identically to ''a/ō''-stem adjectives except in the masculine nominative singular and neuter nominative-vocative-accusative singular, which took the endings *''-s/z'' and *''—'' respectively (or other irregular ending(s)) instead of the expected **''-az'' and **''-ą/at''.
The weak forms were identical to those of ''a/ō''-stems.
===Pronouns===

<!--
'''Note:''' As with adjectives, only the ''*s'' forms of the strong feminine genitive are given where applicable. The ''*z'' forms can be derived from these simply by replacing ''*s'' in the endings.-->

====Reflexive/Intensive pronoun====
====''ja/jō''-stem adjectives====
{| class=wikitable style=text-align:center
These were a sub-type of ''a/ō''-stem adjectives with a *''-j-'' or *''-ij-'' (according to Siever's Law) before the ending and were declined as such. <!--However, in the weak forms, expected **''-ija-'' became *''-ī-'' and **''-ja-'' became *''-i-''.-->
! colspan="7"| Strong
 
====''ā/ô''-stem adjectives====
These were a subset of ''a/ō''-stem adjectives with lengthened endings. They arose by contraction from adjectives whose stems originally ended in ''-aj-'', after the loss of intervocalic ''-j-''.
 
<!--====''i''-stem adjectives====
These were declined identically to ''ja/jō''-stem adjectives except in the masculine nominative singular and neuter nominative-vocative-accusative singular, which took the endings *''-iz'' and *''-į/it'' respectively instead of the expected **''-(i)jaz'' and **''-(i)ją/(i)jat''. Additionally, the masculine accusative singular could take the ending *''-in'' as an alternative to expected *''-(i)jan''.
-
The weak forms were identical to those of ''ja/jō''-stems.-->
 
<!--====Consonant-stem adjectives====
These were declined identically to ''a/ō''-stem adjectives except in the masculine nominative singular and neuter nominative-vocative-accusative singular, which took the endings *''-s/z'' and *''—'' respectively (or other irregular ending(s)) instead of the expected **''-az'' and **''-ą/at''.
-
The weak forms were identical to those of ''a/ō''-stems.-->
 
===Pronouns===
<!--
'''Note:''' As with adjectives, only the ''*s'' forms of the strong feminine genitive are given where applicable. The ''*z'' forms can be derived from these simply by replacing ''*s'' in the endings.-->
<!-- How do the words in your language look? How do you derive words from others? Do you have cases? Are verbs inflected? Do nouns differ from adjectives? Do adjectives differ from verbs? Etc. -->

Proto-Rugic is the hypothetical ancestor of the Rugic languages.

Proto-Rugic
*þaudiskaz
Pronunciation[ˈθɑuðiskɑz]
Created byShariifka
Early forms

Introduction

Proto-Rugic is the result of taking a Balto-Slavic base and applying a rough approximation of the PIE to Proto-Germanic sound changes.

The Balto-Slavic base of Proto-Rugic (known as Pre-Proto-Rugic, or PPR for short) had the following features:

  • PPR lacked the *eu to *jau sound change that affected all known Balto-Slavic languages. Alternatively, if this sound change did happen, it was reversed.

Morphophonology

Morphology

Nouns

Nouns had three genders: masculine, feminine, and neuter.

a-stems

Masculine or neuter.

*wilhaz m. "wolf" *jūką n. "yoke"
Nominative *wilhaz *wilhō *wilhai *jūką *jūkai *jūkō
Vocative *wilh
Accusative *wilhą *wilhōnz
Genitive *wilhō *wilhōu *wilhǭ *jūkō *jūkōu *jūkǭ
Dative *wilhōi *wilhamō *wilhamaz *jūkōi *jūkamō *jūkamaz
Instrumental *wilhai *wilhamō *wilhōiz *jūkai *jūkamō *jūkōiz
Locative *wilhai *wilhōu *wilhaizu *jūkai *jūkōu *jūkaizu

There was a rare class of a-stems with contractions (from earlier stems ending in aj) known as ā-stems.. They decline as below:

*pāz m. "battle" *twą̄ n. "pair"
Nominative *pāz *pô *pāi *twą̄ *twāi *twô
Vocative *pai
Accusative *pą̄ *pônz
Genitive *pô *pôu *pǫ̂ *twô *twôu *twǫ̂
Dative *pôi *pāmō *pāmaz *twôi *twāmō *twāmaz
Instrumental *pāi *pāmō *pôiz *twāi *twāmō *twôiz
Locative *pāi *pôu *pāizu *twāi *twôu *twāizu

ō-stems

Feminine.

*þaudō f. "people"
Nominative *þaudō *þaudōi *þaudōz
Vocative
Accusative *þaudǭ *þaudōnz
Genitive *þaudōz *þaudōu *þaudǭ
Dative *þaudōi *þaudōmō *þaudōmaz
Instrumental *þaudǭ *þaudōmō *þaudōmīz
Locative *þaudōi *þaudōu *þaudōzu

Additionally, there was a rare subclass of ō-stem nouns known as ī/jō-stems. These nouns took the ending * in the nominative singular. All other case and number combinations took the regular ō-stem endings preceded by *-(i)j- (according to Siever's Law).

There were also contracted ō-stems known as ô-stems. They were declined by replacing the -ō- in endings with -ô- (and with -ǫ̂). For example, *skwô "needle (botany)".

ē-stems

Feminine.

*demē f. "earth"
Nominative *demē *demēi *demēz
Vocative
Accusative *demǭ *demēnz
Genitive *demēz *demēu *demǭ
Dative *demēi *demēmō *demēmaz
Instrumental *demǭ *demēmō *demēmīz
Locative *demēi *demēu *demēzu

i-stems

Could be any gender. Masculine and feminine were declined the same.

*ankliz f. "coal" *mari n. "sea"
Nominative *ankliz *anklī *anklīz *mari *marī *marī
Vocative *anklī
Accusative *anklį *anklinz
Genitive *anklīz *anklijau *anklijǭ *marīz *marjau *mar
Dative *anklī *anklimō *anklimaz *marī *marimō *marimaz
Instrumental *anklimi *anklimō *anklimīz *marimi *marimō *marimīz
Locative *anklēi *anklijau *anklizu *marēi *marjau *marizu

Note: The genitive/locative dual and genutive plural are subject to Siever's law.

u-stems

Could be any gender. Masculine and feminine were declined the same.

*sūnuz f. "son" *metu n. "honey"
Nominative *sūnuz *sūnū *sūnawiz *metu *metū *metū
Vocative *sūnau
Accusative *sūnų *sūnunz
Genitive *sūnauz *sūnawau *sūnawǭ *metauz *metawau *metawǭ
Dative *sūnawī *sūnumō *sūnumaz *metawī *metumō *metumaz
Instrumental *sūnumi *sūnumō *sūnumīz *metumi *metumō *metumīz
Locative *sūnawī *sūnawau *sūnuzu *metawī *metawau *metuzu

n-stems

Could be any gender. Masculine and feminine were declined the same.

*hamô m. "stone" *immô n. "name"
Nominative *hamô *haminī *haminiz *immô *imminī *imminō
Vocative
Accusative *haminį *hamininz
Genitive *haminiz *haminau *haminǭ *imminiz *imminau *imminǭ
Dative *haminī *hamimmō *hamimmaz *imminī *immimmō *immimmaz
Instrumental *hamimmi *hamimmō *hamimmīz *immimmi *immimmō *immimmīz
Locative *haminī *haminau *haminzu *imminī *imminau *imminzu

Note:

  1. In heavy j-suffixed n-stems, expected **-ijin- was contracted to *-īn-. Similarly, in light j-suffixed n-stems, expected **-jin- was contracted to *-in-.


r-stems

Masculine and feminine were declined the same.

*prōþê m. "brother"
Nominative *prōþê *prōþ *prōþriz
Vocative *prōþer
Accusative *prōþ *prōþrinz
Genitive *prōþriz *prōþrau *prōþ
Dative *prōþ *prōþrimō *prōþrimaz
Instrumental *prōþrimi *prōþrimō *prōþrimīz
Locative *prōþ *prōþrau *prōþrizu

z-stems

Neuter.

*nepaz n. "cloud"
Nominative *nepaz *nipizī *nipizō
Vocative
Accusative
Genitive *nipiziz *nipizau *nipizǭ
Dative *nipizī *nipimmō *nipimmaz
Instrumental *nipimmi *nipimmō *nipimmīz
Locative *nipizi *nipizau *nipissu

Consonant stems

Masculine and feminine were declined the same.

*ahmô m. "stone" *immô n. "name"
Nominative *ahmô *ahminī *ahminiz *immô *imminī *imminō
Vocative
Accusative *ahminį *ahmininz
Genitive *ahminiz *ahminau *ahminǭ *imminiz *imminau *imminǭ
Dative *ahminī *ahmimmō *ahmimmaz *imminī *immimmō *immimmaz
Instrumental *ahmimmi *ahmimmō *ahmimmīz *immimmi *immimmō *immimmīz
Locative *ahminī *ahminau *ahminzu *imminī *imminau *imminzu

Note: The usual ending for the masculine/feminine nominative-vocative singular was *-s (after unvoiced consonants) or *-z (after voiced consonants), and in the neuter nominative-vocative-accusative singular there was usually no suffix. However, there were many nouns that were irregular in those forms.

Adjectives

Most adjectives could be declined strong or weak. The class of an adjective was determined by its strong conjugation.

ja/jō-stem adjectives

These were a sub-type of a/ō-stem adjectives with a *-j- or *-ij- (according to Siever's Law) before the ending and were declined as such.

ā/ô-stem adjectives

These were a subset of a/ō-stem adjectives with lengthened endings. They arose by contraction from adjectives whose stems originally ended in -aj-, after the loss of intervocalic -j-.
