The English name ultimately comes from Bulgarian Мари́ца (maríca), it came from Thracian *māras / *māros plus -ица, the Bulgarian feminine noun suffix, coming from Proto-Slavic *-ica. The Thracian term either meant “marsh; bog” or “great; significant”. | The English name ultimately comes from Bulgarian Мари́ца (maríca), it came from Thracian *māras / *māros plus -ица, the Bulgarian feminine noun suffix, coming from Proto-Slavic *-ica.

The Maritsan autonym, Ebrusy coincidentally also came from Thracian *ebrus, their name for the river, but *ebrus came from Thracian *ebru meaning wide. The -y suffix is the plural vocative suffix, as all languages are in the vocative plural form as a base. The -y suffix came from Proto-Chlesamnic *-áus. | The Maritsan autonym, Ebrusy coincidentally also came from Thracian *ebrus, their name for the river, but *ebrus came from Thracian *ebru meaning wide.

==Morphology== | |||
Maritsan Morphology is much simplified from Proto-Chlesamnic, and even its closest relative of Jankıbıreqhü. | |||
===Nouns=== | |||
Maritsan nouns distinguish between two numbers (singular and plural) and 8 cases. All of which descend directly from the cases with the same name in proto-Chlesamnic | |||
* Nominative | |||
* Vocative | |||
* Accusatve | |||
* Allative | |||
* Genitive | |||
* Ablative | |||
* Dative | |||
* Instrumental | |||
Each noun also fits into one of 6 classes, called stems , based off the ending, there is | |||
* a-stem | |||
* ā-stem | |||
* i-stem | |||
* u-stem | |||
* r-stem | |||
* consonant stem | |||
Each stem will decline differently based on gender, though each do it differently, it will either decline by | |||
* Masc./Fem. , Neut. (a-stem; i-stem; u-stem) | |||
* Masc./Neut. , Fem. (Consonant stem) | |||
* Fem./Neut. m Masc. (ā-stem; r-stem) | |||

===Adjectives=== | |||
Adjectives also decline for the same case and number as nouns, but there’s only one way to decline them. As well as that, adjectives agree with their noun in case and gender. Within the table the gender order is Masculinr, then Neuter, then Feminine | |||
