====Case==== | |||
There are five main noun cases in Marêngil; Nominative, Accusative, Dative, Genitive and Possessed. All the cases come from pronouns; I, you, it, mine and yours respectively. At one point there were separate prepositions, but since then they have lost their individuality. All cases are based around these prepositions. | |||

Possession of a thing is viewed in three ways. I thing can be entirely possessable, semi-possessable or unpossessable. An entirely possessable noun is something like a rock, or body part, anything non-sentient and with no potential of self-possession. A semi-possessable noun would be a person or other sentient being which has relation to the subject, like a family member or partner. An unpossessable noun would be something beyond possession, like a planet or force of nature. One would never say "our planet", but would instead say "the planet we live on". | Possession of a thing is viewed in three ways.
