Grammar

Noun Inflections

The primitive case suffixes are:

Role Suffix Notes
Absolutive Often used in place of the genitive and objective.
Nominative -no Can be used as a genitive
Objective -ni Can be used for datives if the absolutive is being used for the direct object.
Lative -e
Partitive -Te (de) Can be used as a locative and plural suffix
Comitative -la Can be used as a locative and plural suffix
Essive -na Can be used as an instrumental, acts like Japanese -de

More complex cases can be formed using spacial nouns and combinations of -ni, -e, -Te and -la.

Phrase-final clitics

The following clitics are able to be added onto the end of a larger phrase and do not act as case particles necessarily.

Meaning/role Clitic Notes
Questions, "or" -me(e), -mai, -ma from older -ma-i
Or, and, but -že (ze) (je, ze?)
And, also, too -mo
Also, even, too -Ki (gi)
And, introducing new topics -va
