===Nouns===
===Nouns===
Gollic nouns can be masculine or feminine. The gender of nouns is generally not predictable based on form, and instead is indicated with article and (sometimes) adjective agreement. For nouns regarding the living, their grammatical gender generally corresponds to the referrent. For example, a male teacher is ''le lous'', while a female teacher is ''lée lous''.
Plurals are typically marked with a final ''-e'' (i.e. ''lous'' > ''louse''). Generally, the only difference in pronunciation will be that the last consonant in the plural is pronounced (singular /{{IPA|lu}}/ vs plural /{{IPA|lus}}/). If the noun already ends in ''-e'' in the singular, then it instead becomes ''-ée'' (for example, ''paste'' > ''pastée''). In this case, the last consonant is pronounced invariably, and in the plural, the <é> is pronounced (singular /{{IPA|past}}/ vs plural /{{IPA|pasˈte}}/).

Stress

Lexical stress in Gollic typically falls on the penultimate or final syllable of a word. Certain rules that fix stress on one of the two are as follows:

  • A syllable with <é> is generally stressed
  • All verbs have final stress in all forms

Morphophonology

Orthography

Modern Gollic spelling largely represents Gollic as it was pronounced in the 13th century. As a result, final <e> and unpronounced consonants are often preserved in writing.

Grammar

Nouns

Gollic nouns can be masculine or feminine. The gender of nouns is generally not predictable based on form, and instead is indicated with article and (sometimes) adjective agreement. For nouns regarding the living, their grammatical gender generally corresponds to the referrent. For example, a male teacher is le lous, while a female teacher is lée lous.

Plurals are typically marked with a final -e (i.e. lous > louse). Generally, the only difference in pronunciation will be that the last consonant in the plural is pronounced (singular /lu/ vs plural /lus/). If the noun already ends in -e in the singular, then it instead becomes -ée (for example, paste > pastée). In this case, the last consonant is pronounced invariably, and in the plural, the <é> is pronounced (singular /past/ vs plural /pasˈte/).

Verbs

Most verbs in Gollic have both finite and non-finite forms. The finite moods are indicative, subjunctive, and imperative. The non-finite forms are the infinitive and participles.

In a number of verbs, such as pesaine, the stem vowel shifts in certain forms. Only a few forms may take this vowel change, and it is usually applied across all such forms within all verbs with stem vowel changes (for example, poisé instead of *pesé)

Indicative mood

The indicative mood is used to denote a factual statement. Four tenses are used in the indicative: present, imperfect, past, and future.

Imperfect pesois pesis poisent pesoise pesise pesente
Past poisir poisind poisit pesire pesind pes
