Gathrírn is an a priori language inspired by Celtic languages. As such, it features extensive vowel and consonant mutations, as well as a relatively complex inflectional system. Its phonetic system is also remarkable in having up to four varieties of one phoneme.

Mutations
Consonant mutations
Similar to Cletic languages, nouns in Gathrírn undergo several types of mutations. There are six consonant-initial mutations: fricativisation, palatalisation, labialisation, voicing, devoicing, and nasalisation or mixed type. Word-final consonants also change.

Nouns
Nouns in Gathrírn have three numbers (singular, dual, plural) and four cases (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, locative). There are four declensions.
The basic paradigm of suffixes is regular:
Case | Singular | Dual | Plural |
---|---|---|---|
Nominative | -Ø | -is | -(Vmut.)-Ø |
Genitive | -ur | -urh | -(Vmut.)-ur |
Dative | -en | -enh | -(Vmut.)-en |
Accusative | -er | -erh | -(Vmut.)-er |
Locative | -on | -olh | -(Vmut.)-on |
