Notes:

1 [ɲ] and [ʎ] are surface realizations of underlying /nj/ and /lj/ respectively.

2 [ŋ] is an allophone of /n/ before velars.

3 [z] and [ʒ] are allophones of /s/ and /ʃ/ respectively between vowels and before voiced sounds.

4 Most consonants can be labialized and/or palatalized. However, these are considered to be sequences of consonant + /w/ or /j/ respectively.

Vowels

Plevian monophthong vowels
Front Central Back
Close i u
Mid e o

In addition to the monopthongs above, the following diphthongs are possible:

  • Rising: ia, ie, io, iu, ua, ue, uo, ui
  • Falling: ai, ei, oi, au, eu, ou

Note that the glide in falling diphthongs is usually realized as palatalization (in the case of -i-) or labialization (in the case of -u-).

Phonotactics

Morphophonology

Epenthetic consonants

When a word ending in a vowel is followed by a word beginning in a vowel, an epenthetic consonant is usually inserted.

In the case of nouns and adjectives, the consonant used is -n.

Third person plural verbs, while not ending in a vowel, take an epenthetic -t before vowel-initial words.

Other words can have varying epenthetic consonants (such as -n, -d, -b, -g, -t, etc.) depending on their etymology.

Examples:

  • a "to" + America > ad America
  • da "away from, out lf" + America > dab America
  • femna "woman" + alta "tall" > femnan alta
  • ama "(s)he loves" + arbrex "trees" > amad arbrex
  • aman "they love" + arbrex > amant arbrex

Counter-examples:

  • de "of, from" + America > de America
  • amo "I love" + arbrex "trees" > amo arbrex

Syntactic gemination

Certain pronouns and particles cause the first consonant of a following consonant-initial word to geminate.

In most cases, these are the same words that add an epenthetic -d, -g, or -b when the following word begins in a vowel.

Examples:

  • a "to" + Canada > a cCanada
  • da "away from, out of" + Canada > da cCanada
  • ama "(s)he loves" + carne "meat" > ama ccarne

Morphology

Nouns

Nouns may be masculine or feminine.

Nouns are pluralized in -x. After a consonant, this ending becomes -ex.

Nouns ending in a vowel add an epenthetic -n when followed by a word beginning in a vowel.

Adjectives

Adjectives agree with the noun they govern in gender and number.

Adjectives whose masculine forms end in -o are feminized in -a. Otherwise, the masculine and feminine forms are identical. Adjectives ending in a vowel add an epenthetic -n when immediately followed by a vowel.

Like nouns, adjectives are pluralized in -(e)x.

Comparative and superlative

The comparative is formed with the suffix -iore(n) which replaces the adjective's final vowel. The glide -i- causes the same sound changes to labialized and coronal consonants as those experienced by Class 5 verbs.

The superlative is formed with the suffix -esmo(n)/a(n). When an adjective's stem ends in -r- or -l-, it combines with the superlative suffix to form -(e)rmo(n)/a(n) or -(e)lmo(n)/a(n) respectively (where -(e)- is added when the -r- or -l- is preceded by a consonant).

Some adjectives ending in velar consonants palatalize them before the comparative and superlative suffixes, while some maintain their pronunciation.

Additionally, some adjectives have stem changes in stressed syllables (similar to those of verbs).

Some common adjectives have irregular comparatives and superlatives.

Due to the above reasons, the citation form of adjectives is usually "base form, comparative, superlative".

Adverbs

Manner adverbs

There are two main ways of deriving manner adverbs from adjectives:

  1. Adjectives ending in -o(n)/a(n): Replace the final vowel with -e(d)
  2. Adjectives ending in -i(n), e(n), or another vowel: Replace the final vowel with -ter (with penultimate stress).
    • Assimilation applies as it does in the past participle. Expected -tt- is simplified to -t- after consonants.

Comparative and superlative

Before adding comparative and superlative suffixes, the final vowel (or, in the case of -ter adverbs, the final -er) of the adverb is removed if present.

The comparative is formed with the suffix -iox. The glide -i- causes the same sound changes to labialized and coronal consonants as those experienced by Class 5 verbs.

The superlative is formed with the suffix -esme(d). This suffix undergoes the same sound changes as the corresponding adjective suffix.

Some adverbs ending in velar consonants palatalize them before the comparative and superlative suffixes, while some maintain their pronunciation.

Additionally, some adverbs have stem changes in stressed syllables (similar to those of verbs).

Some common adverbs have irregular comparatives and superlatives.

Due to the above reasons, the citation form of adverbs is usually "base form, comparative, superlative".

Articles

Articles precede the noun they govern and agree with it in gender and number.

The definite article is so, declined as below:

Singular Plural
Masculine so(n) sox
Feminine sa(n) sax

Notes:

1 -n is added before words beginning in vowels.

The indefinite article is gueno, declined as below:

Singular Plural
Masculine guen(o)1 guenox
Feminine guen(a)2 guenax

Notes:

1 -o is added before words beginning in consonant clusters.

2 -a is dropped before words beginning in vowels.

Verbs

Verb classes

There are five verb classes:

  1. -are verbs (class 1)
  2. -ere verbs (class 2)
  3. Non-palatalized -re verbs (class 3)
  4. Palatalized -re verbs (class 4)
  5. -ire verbs (class 5)

Present indicative

Class 1 2 3 4 5
1S -o -io -o -io -io
2S -ax -ex -ex -ix -ix
3S -a(d/G) -e(d/G) -e(d/G) -i(d/G) -i(d/G)
1P -amox -emox -mox -mox -imox
2P -atex -etex -tex -tex -itex
3P -an(t) -en(t) -on(t) -ion(t) -ion(t)

Notes:

1. Before a glide -i-, labialized consonants lose their labialization. This applies in the 1S for Class 2, 4, and 5 verbs and the 3P for Class 4 & 5 verbs. Additionally, Class 4 & 5 verbs whose stems end in coronal consonants undergo stem changes in the 1S and 3P forms:
Expected Changed to
ti z
di dz
si x
zi ci
2. Verbs whose stem end in velar stops (-c- or -g-) maintain their spelling throughout the present indicative regardless of whether that would result in a "hard" or "soft" pronunciation. On the other hand, verbs whose stem ends in -ch- or -gh- drop the -h- when they are not followed by front vowels.

Present subjunctive

The present subjunctive is formed by removing -o from the 1S present indicative and adding the following endings:

Class 1 Others
1S -e(n) -a(n)
2S -ex -ax
3S -e(d/G) -a(d/G)
1P -emox -amox
2P -etex -atex
3P -en(t) -an(t)

Class 1 verbs whose stems end in a velar stop maintain their lack of palatalization in the present subjunctive.

Imperfect indicative

The imperfect stem is formed by removing -o or (only for Class 2 verbs) -io from the 1S present indicative and adding the following endings:

Class 1 Others
1S -ava(n) -eva(n)
2S -avax -evax
3S -ava(d/G) -eva(d/G)
1P -avamox -evamox
2P -avatex -evatex
3P -avan(t) -evan(t)

Imperfect subjunctive

The imperfect subjunctive is formed by adding the following endings to the verb's infinitive:

Class All
1S -(n)
2S -x
3S -(d/G)
1P -mox
2P -tex
3P -n(t)

Future

The future is formed by adding the following endings to the imperfect stem:

Class 1 Others
1S -avo -evo
2S -avex -evex
3S -ave(d/G) -eve(d/G)
1P -ammox -emmox
2P -aftex -eftex
3P -avon(t) -evon(t)

Future perfect

The future perfect stem is formed by replacing the final -t- of the supine stem (if present) with -s- (after a consonant) or -ss- (after a vowel). If the supine stem already ends in -s-, the supine stem is used.

Then, the following endings are added:

Ending
1S -o
2S -ex
3S -e(d/G)
1P -emox
2P -etex
3P -en(t)

Perfect indicative

The perfect indicative is formed by adding the following endings to the perfect stem:

All classes
1S -e
2S -este
3S -e(d/G)
1P -mox
2P -estex
3P -ron(t)

The perfect stem is derived from the present stem in different ways depending on the verb.

  • Regular Class 1 & 5 verbs form it by removing -re from the infinitive and adding -g(h)- (always hard).
  • Regular Class 2, 3, and 4 verbs form it by adding -u- to the present stem.
  • There are many irregular verbs, especially in classes 2-4 (and sometimes 5).

Perfect subjunctive

The perfect subjunctive is formed by adding the following endings to the perfect stem:

All classes
1S -re(n)
2S -rex
3S -re(d/G)
1P -remox
2P -retex
3P -ren(t)

Pluperfect indicative

The pluperfect indicative is formed by adding the following endings to the perfect stem:

All classes
1S -ra(n)
2S -rax
3S -ra(d/G)
1P -ramox
2P -ratex
3P -ran(t)

Pluperfect subjunctive

The pluperfect subjunctive is formed by adding the following endings to the perfect stem:

All classes
1S -esse(n)
2S -essex
3S -esse(d/G)
1P -essemox
2P -essetex
3P -essen(t)

Imperative

The imperative is formed by removing -x from the corresponding second person present indicative. This applies both in the singular and plural.

Derived adjectives and nouns

The following derived adjectives and nouns exist:

Participle Formation Remarks
Present participle Formed by replacing -n(t) of the 3S present indicative with -nte(n).
Past participle Regularly formed by removing -re from the infinitive and adding -to(n) (m.)/-ta(n) (f.). Many verbs have an irregular past participle. The supine stem is formed by removing the final vowel from the past participle.
Future participle Formed by adding -uro(n) (m.)/-ura(n) (f.) to the supine stem.
Gerundive Formed by replacing -n(t) in the 3P present indicative with -ndo(n) (m.)/-nda(n) (f.) Roughly equivalent to the suffix "-able" in English. Depending on the verb, it may have active or passive meaning.
Agent noun Formed by adding -ore(n) (m.)/-(t)rice(n) (f.) to the supine stem. -(t)- is added in the feminine when it is not already present at the end of the past participle stem.

Stem-changing verbs

In stem-changing verbs, the stem changes depending on whether it is stressed or unstressed.

In most cases, this involves a vowel change. The main patterns are:

  • Unstressed -e- > Stressed -ia-
  • Stressed -o- > Stressed -ua-

The above stem changes are known as "breaking".

Due to historical sound changes, there may also be consonant changes. Some examples include:

  • Addition of g- in the stressed stem.
    • This happens in both types of breaking verbs when the unstressed stem begins in a vowel. In such verbs, e- and o- become gia- and gua- respectively when stressed.
  • Delabialization of labialized consonants such as gu-, qu-, du-, etc. in the stressed stem.
    • This happens as a rule in e > ia verbs.
    • In o > ua verbs, the two labializations are merged (e.g. unstressed guo- becomes stressed gua- and not *guua-).

Assimiliation

Infinitive

Class 3 and 4 verbs whose stems end in certain consonants assimilate the -r- of the infinitive into the final consonant. The assimilation has one of the following results depending on the stem structure:

  • If the stem ends in a single -s, -r, or -l preceded by a vowel: -r- is merged with the consonant causing it to be doubled.
  • If the stem ends in -r or -l that is double or preceded by a consonant: -r- is dropped.

Note that -r- is neither dropped nor assimilated when it occurs after -s when it is doubled or occurs after a consonant.

When necessary, the end of the stem can be indicated with an apostrophe. For example:

  • When -r- merges with the following consonant: gual'le, fiar're, es'se
  • When -r- is dropped: piall'e
Past participle

In regular past participles of Class 3 & 4 verbs:

  • A voiced stop is devoiced before -t-. Voiced fricatives are also devoiced, but this does not reflect in the orthography except in the case of -v-, which becomes -f-.
Finite forms

Principal parts

For the vast majority of verbs, whether regular or irregular, the full conjugation can be derived from the following four principal parts:

  • Infinitive
  • 1S present indicative
  • 1S perfect indicative
  • Singular masculine past participle

When the principal parts fail to show a stem change, additional principal parts may be added.

  • Present stem: 1S imperfect indicative
    • Comes after 1S present indicative
  • Perfect stem: 2S perfect indicative
    • Comes after 1S perfect indicative
  • Supine stem: Singular masculine future participle
    • Comes at end

In this article, these "extra" principal parts are shown in brackets.

Irregular verbs

esse "to be"

Despite being classified as a Class 3 verb, the verb esse, so, (era), fue, futo "to be" is highly irregular and therefore must be treated on its own.

Infinitive esse Present participle sonte(n)

    • havere may be in any tense to form a corresponding anterior tense denoting a completed action.
    • This is similar to the perfect tenses, but it gives the implication that an action has been completed.
  • Continuous: esse, so, (era), fue, futo + present participle
    • Unlike in English, this can only be used for an action that is ongoing at the time referenced (as indicated by conjugation of esse).
  • Inchoative: fire, fio, fighe, fito "to become" + present participle
Others
  • Causative 1: facre, facio, fece, fapto "to do" + infinitive
    • Means "cause X to Y" or "make X Y".
  • Causative 2: facre, facio, fece, fapto "to do" + past participle
    • Means "cause X to be Y-ed" or "have X Y-ed".
