Morphology
Nouns
Plurals and collectives are formed with -az and -os.
The definite article is ce(n). It triggers lenition in the accusative and genitive: ce χyphro "the blood (nom.)", ce χhyphro "the blood (acc., gen.)"
Adjectives and attributive verbs are also lenited after a noun in the accusative.
Verbs
Verbs use -(e)n in the present. The past tense is formed with a preposition al 'after' which triggers lenition. future is marked by an auxiliary se (from *sken "go").
- cen amφ certon = 'the man sleeps'
- cen amφ al cherto = 'the man slept'
- cen amφ se certo = 'the man will sleep'
Chthryxolidin is zero-copula, like Eevo and Netagin. The copula is zol in the past and caphth in the future.
Syntax
Chthryxolidin is SVO.
