===Nouns===
Nouns are pluralized with the ending ''-as''. The singular is usually used if the context makes it clear that the word is plural (such as after numerals, plural determiners, etc.).
===Adjectives===
Adjectives do not decline.
===Verbs===
The citation form of verbs is generally ''infinitive, present, past''.
Doidhesh verbs do not conjugate for person or number.
Verbs are conjugated for three aspects, three tenses, and three voices.
Tenses are marked by the verb form:
*Present: Uses present form.
*Past: Uses past form.
*Future: Uses future form.
**This is formed by replacing the final ''-n'' of the infinitive with ''-d''.
Aspects are marked with particles preceding the verb:
*Imperfective: No marker
*Perfective: ''poi/pœ''
*Habitual: ''bed''
Voices are marked with particles preceding the aspect marker:
*Active: No marker
*Middle: ''toun/tón''
*Passive: ''maudh/máþ''
Note that subject pronouns are obligatory, and they come before the voice marker.
In summary, a verb is formed as follows: ''subject pronoun + voice marker + aspect marker + tense-specific form of verb''

Introduction

Etymology

From Old English þēodisċ "vernacular language" < Proto-Germanic *þiudiskaz "of the people" < *þeudō "people" + -iskaz "-ish".

Synchronically analyzable as doit/dœt "people" + -esh/-esc "-ish".

Phonology

Orthography

Two Latin-based orthograpies are used:

  1. Egelstaiv/Egelstæf ("English letter(s)"): Based on Middle English orthography.
  2. Teanstaiv/Tjenstæf ("Danish letter(s)"): Based on Old English orthography, reinforced by Old Norse.

This article will use both orthographies separated by a slash (/). The orthographies will be referred to as Egelstaiv and Tjenstæf respectively.

Morphophonology

Lenition

When a word ending in a voiceless stop or fricative has a vowel-initial suffix added, the final consonant becomes a voiced fricative. This is known as lenition.

Not all such words undergo lenition. Whether a word undergoes lenition or not is predictable from its orthography.

The table below summarizes the consonants that can undergo lenition when they occur at the end of a word. Note that this table specifically indicates how consonants are written word-finally and when lenited. The same phonemes may be written differently in other environments.

Word-final consonants that can undergo lenition
Phoneme Unlenited form Lenited form Non-leniting equivalent
Egelstaiv Tjenstæf IPA Egelstaiv Tjenstæf Egelstaiv Tjenstæf
p p p v v v pp pp
f v f f ff
t t t ð dh ð tt tt
θ dh þ th þþ
s z s z z z s ss
ʃ zh c ʒ zh cz sh cc, sc
k k k ∅¹ ∅¹ ∅¹ ck kk
x gh h ch hh

Notes:

¹ The consonant is dropped, leading to predictable vowel simplifications (see the next section below).

Vowel simplifications

When vowels are brought into hiatus, due to the addition of a vowel-initial suffix to a vowel-final word or the lenition of /k/ or /x/, the hiatus is simplified according to the following rules.

Nouns

Nouns are pluralized with the ending -as. The singular is usually used if the context makes it clear that the word is plural (such as after numerals, plural determiners, etc.).

Adjectives

Adjectives do not decline.

Verbs

The citation form of verbs is generally infinitive, present, past.

Doidhesh verbs do not conjugate for person or number.

Verbs are conjugated for three aspects, three tenses, and three voices.

Tenses are marked by the verb form:

  • Present: Uses present form.
  • Past: Uses past form.
  • Future: Uses future form.
    • This is formed by replacing the final -n of the infinitive with -d.

Aspects are marked with particles preceding the verb:

  • Imperfective: No marker
  • Perfective: poi/pœ
  • Habitual: bed

Voices are marked with particles preceding the aspect marker:

  • Active: No marker
  • Middle: toun/tón
  • Passive: maudh/máþ

Note that subject pronouns are obligatory, and they come before the voice marker.

In summary, a verb is formed as follows: subject pronoun + voice marker + aspect marker + tense-specific form of verb
