====The desiderative mood==== | |||
The desiderative mood, unlike the optative, hypothetical, and subjunctive moods, conjugates in all tenses and aspects just like the indicative; the difference being the special stem it uses, formed with reduplication of the root plus '''-s''' (except for '''-ora-''' and '''-ьouš-''' verbs). The resulting stem conjugates as any root verb. | |||
Reduplication adds the first consonant of the verb (except prefixes) and its first vowel (always oral short).There are however some special rules followed in reduplicating: | |||
* Aspirated stops are always reduplicated as unaspirated; | |||
* '''g-''' is always reduplicated as '''h-''', except for a few irregular verbs; | |||
* '''h-''' is reduplicated as '''k-'''; | |||
* '''k-''' as '''š-''';
| |||
* '''f-''' as '''p-'''; | |||
* '''l-''' in the initial clusters '''lk-''', '''lkh-''', '''lg-''', or '''lgh-''' reduplicates as '''n-'''. | |||
* Initial clusters which begin with '''s-''', '''ṣ-''', '''š-''', or '''v-''' use the first consonant which is not one of them (but '''šv-''' reduplicates as '''š-'''); | |||
* Verbs with ablaut always have middle-grade ablaut; '''ṛ''' reduplicates as '''a'''; | |||
* Inverse-ablaut verbs have the consonant of the unreduced root but the reduced vowel; | |||
* Roots beginning with vowels are regular, reduplicating the otherwise allophonic initial '''ʔ'''. | |||
* Prefixes are added before the reduplicated root. | |||
Final added '''-s''' has some special saṃdhi rules, too (in addition to the usual ones): | |||
* '''-d-s''' and '''-dh-s''' both become '''-ts''' (always written so and never as *ç); | |||
* After voiced stops, '''-s''' becomes '''-r''' and aspirated stops lose aspiration. '''-j-s''' and '''-jh-s''' both become '''-jl'''; | |||
* '''-š-s''' becomes '''-kṣ'''; | |||
* '''-y-s''' becomes '''-š'''; | |||
* '''-l-s''' becomes '''-lь''' when prevocalic and '''-lš''' when preconsonantal, but '''-rl-s''' always becomes '''-relь-'''. | |||
Causative forms just add the causative endings, without further modifying the stem. | |||
'''-ora-''' and '''-ьouš-''' verbs use '''-oreka-''' and '''-ьoušca-''' respectively, without other modifications, but they're often substituted by ''infinitive + daudike'' constructions. In many of the northeastern and northwestern lands of the Inquisition, this analytic construction is used instead of the synthetic desiderative in almost any case. | |||
Examples of desiderative mood stems are:
* ''peithake'' “to go (multid.)”, root ''peith-'' → ''pe-peith-s'' → ''pepeits-
'' | |||
* ''lgutake'' “to buy”, root ''lgut-'' → ''nu-lgot-s'' → ''nulgots-'' | |||
* ''khlunāke'' “to search, look for”, root ''khlu-'' → ''ku-khlu-s'' → ''kukhlus-
'' | |||
* ''nilyake'' “to think”, root ''nily-'' → ''ni-nely-s'' → ''ninelš-'' | |||
* ''tṛlake'' “to do”, root ''tṛl-'' → ''ta-tarl-s'' > ''tatarelь-'' | |||
* ''valde'' “to open”, root ''vald-'' → ''v-uld-s'' > ''vults-'' | |||
A few verbs have completely irregular stems: | |||
* ''gyake'' “to be”: ''muñj-'' | |||
* ''lilke'' “to live”: ''lėlikṣ-'' | |||
* ''męlike'' “to give”: ''mimęñ-
'' | |||
* ''milke'' “to take”: ''mūṃchl-''. | |||
