Kamatarna

Revision as of 15:59, 29 September 2021 by Nicomega (talk | contribs) (→‎Pronouns)


Kamatarna was sparked by a mention in Tolkien's The Monsters and the Critics about how he overheard a man deciding he would "mark the accusative with a prefix", so I ran with the idea. The language is pretty consistently CVCV and marks cases with prefixes rather than suffixes.
