==Morphology==
==Morphology==
Fylfathic is among the most divergent of all the Chlesamnic languages, and this shows in its strongly nonconcatenative morphology that works off roots as in the Semitic languages.

===Nouns===
Nouns have severely collapsed, losing all cases and barely holding onto gender.
You will notice a construct form, this descends from the "short genitive" (the form used in compounding), and this shift had been happening since at least the early 12th century and can be seen in the clear shift in how compounds are formed, for example, we will take "mountain", which is literally "that which carves the sky" in Fylfathic. Before the shift, such a compound would be formed as "sky's carver", with "sky" in the short genitive, thus the ancient "{{lang|fulf|ammaskafanṣ}}", but after the shift we see the form {{l|oflf|سکافانآثاامّاس|tr=skafanōṯaammas}} (modern: {{l|fulf|خَفَنَوثَمَم|tr=hafanawṯamam}})

Fylfathic (/ˈfʊl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/, /ˈfʌl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/, or (rare) /ˈfɪl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/, also "Lojic" /loʊ̯.d͡ʒɪk/; Autonym: تُنگَفٖلفَنص (tüngafülfanṣ) /tyŋ.ga.fyl.fant͡s/ or تٖنگَلٓجَ (tüngaloja) /tyŋ.ga.lo.d͡ʒaʔ/) is a Chlesamnic language spoken on the northeast side of Mount Lebanon (Native: گَبَلّٓجَ (gaballoja)).

Etymology

تُنگَفٖلفَنص (tüngafülfanṣ) descends from Old Fylfathic تيُنگافيُلفانص (tüngafülfanṣ), itself a reformation of the ancient "فيُلفانآثاتيُنگا" (fülfanoṯatünga), all ultimately compounds of modern فٖلفَنص (fülfanṣ, “Fylfans”) + تٖنگَ (tünga, “tongue”).

The ـلٓجَ (-loja) of تٖنگَلٓجَ (tüngaloja) is from لٓجَ (loja), the word for a blinding white, though it is taken as a shortening of the name of Mount Lebanon.

Morphology

Fylfathic is among the most divergent of all the Chlesamnic languages.

Nouns

You will notice a construct form, this descends from the "short genitive" (the form used in compounding), and this shift had been happening since at least the early 12th century and can be seen in the clear shift in how compounds are formed, for example, we will take "mountain", which is literally "that which carves the sky" in Fylfathic. Before the shift, such a compound would be formed as "sky's carver", with "sky" in the short genitive, thus the ancient "ammaskafanṣ", but after the shift we see the form سکافانآثاامّاس (skafanōṯaammas) (modern: خَفَنَوثَمَم (hafanawṯamam))

The definite article in Fylfathic is borrowed from Arabic "al-", but it is written differently, with an obligatory kashida (eg. "اَلـ"), the origonal purpose was not recorded, but it was likely to make the division clearer.
