Togarmite: Difference between revisions

In some ways declension has simplified: Like [[Cubrite]], Modern Togarmite has lost grammatical gender. The construct state has been lost, and the Old Togarmite definite state ''ʔan-'' has been reanalyzed as a separate definite article ''yn''. ''Yn'' becomes ''ym'' before /m p b/.
