In Tricin, '''Netagin''' (English: net-ə-GHEEN; natively ''ne Natagin'' [nɛː nətɐːˈgiːːn]; folk etymology connects the name with the root ''n-t-g'' 'to sing') is a major [[Bjeheond]]ian language, belonging to the [[Idavic languages|Idavic]] language family. Netagin has influenced many other languages, especially [[Ouřefr]]. Netagin is intended to be optimized for writing piyyutim: like Hebrew, Netagin has triconsonantal morphology, final stress and stressed suffixes, so that it is natural to rhyme by having the last syllables the same like in Jewish piyyutim. It tends to be verb-initial and head-initial like Hebrew, and its morphosyntactic alignment is split-S with some Austronesian elements; this is also an element of Old Windermere. Windermere and Netagin are thought to have co-evolved for a period of time before Classical Windermere was recorded.

This is the seventh version of Netagin. Its aesthetic is inspired by Hebrew, Maltese, Czech, and [[Windermere]] and its grammar is Indonesian, Lushootseed and Slavic-inspired.

Possessors also use the applicative strategy. However, if the verb already has an object, the verb's object affix agrees with the original object, not the relativized noun.
