Glommish: Difference between revisions

The native script, called ''þe þiúske vrýt'' is a descendant of the Latin alphabet.

There are five phonemic vowel qualities with length. '''y ý''' can be considered non-palatalizing allophones of '''i í'''.

| ('''ý''' /ɨː/)

Also: ''andie'' 'end', ''ave'' 'river', ''biare'' 'bear', ''funie'' 'fire', ''fýtie'' 'wheat', ''hiarte'' 'heart', ''knave'' 'slave', ''mage'' 'throat', ''ukse'' 'ox', ''vatie'' 'water', ''ýriene'' 'copper'. [''ave'' can also be declined like a feminine noun.]

Nouns of this declension type are always feminine in modern {{PAGENAME}}. Nouns with certain suffixes like ''-yng'' (deverbal noun) or ''-hýd'' (abstract noun) and loanwords that were feminine in the source language also belong in this class.

For predicative possession {{PAGENAME}}, in addition to using ''hán'' 'to have' like other Germanic languages, can use a construction similar to Irish: ''Et isь at mír tvý sunie.'' "I have two sons." (lit. There are two sons at me, like Irish ''Tá dhá mhac agam'')
