Nouns
Nouns have the following cases:
Spahr 'horse' | Singular | Plural |
---|---|---|
Nominative | Spahr | Spahrlich |
Topic | Spahren | Spahrlichen |
Accusative | Spahre | Spahrliche |
Genitive | Spahrel | Spahrlichel |
Locative | Spahrs | Spahrliches |
Ablative | Spahrung | Spahrlichung |
Comitative | Spahrst | Spahrlichst |
The locative ending -s becomes -es after sibilants. The same case endings can be add to nouns ending in -e in the nominative, except that -ee- and -eu- changes to -e- and -u- respectively, and the syllable before the -e umlauts.
Pronouns
Person | Singular | Plural |
---|---|---|
1 | brund | bründin |
2 | zied | ziedin |
3 (proximate) | teck | tecklich |
3 (obviative) | zick | zicklich |
Pronouns inflect just like nouns, and there are no irregular forms.
Accusative clitics
There are clitic prefixes for these pronouns in the accusative:
Person | Singular | Plural |
---|---|---|
1 | be- | ben- |
2 | zu- | zer- |
3 (obviative) | ge- | ger- |
Possessive affixes
Person | Singular | Plural |
---|---|---|
1 | -au | -abe |
2 | -em | -ebe |
3 (obviative) | -el | -etz |
Only -el triggers umlaut of the preceding syllable.
Predicative affixes
Person | Singular | Plural |
---|---|---|
1 | -oll | -eule |
2 | -eid | -eibe |
3 (obviative) | -end, -Ø | -endlich, -lich |
Syntax
Schwünter is completely head-final.
