Verse:Hmøøh/Phormatolide

Phormatolidin is a sister language of Clofabosin, spoken in southern Cuadhlabh. Its grammar is simplified from Old Clofabosin, but it preserves a few archaic features that are lost in Clofabosin.

Morphology

Nouns inflect for definiteness, number and case. The definite suffix is -ide or -id- when followed by another suffix.

There is a distinction between inalienable and alienable possession: the former uses -yl and the latter uses -ol.

Noun cases:

• -one = dative
• -ase = comitative
• -ate = locative (from terin, house in both Clofabosin and Phormatolidin)

There are three tenses in Phormatolidin: past, non-past and gnomic. The non-past ending is -phen (related to the Clofabosin agentive -fen), and the past ending is -zole. The gnomic ending is -til, cognate to the gnomic attributive ending -tril in Clofabosin.

In the desiderative, the endings are -profen, -prazole and -protil.

Attributive verbs

The suffix -ol for alienable possession is attached to the inflected form of the verb: aspraphenol trycin (the big world), phthorazolol amphin (the person who ate).
