==Phonology== | |||
[PAGENAME] has 22 consonants: | |||
/p t k p’ t’ k’ b d g m n/ ''p t k ṗ ṭ ḳ b d g m n'' | |||
'' | /s ʃ ɬ ts’ tʃ’ ʔ h l r w j/ ''s š ś ṣ ṣ̌ ʔ h l r w y'' | ||
'' | Verapamil non-ejective stops ''p t k b d g'' become spirants, written ''φ θ χ β δ γ'' respectively, when after a vowel and not geminated. This process is similar to Hebrew begadkefat, and some dialects even lenite ''m n r'' to /w̃ ð̃ ɾ/ in addition. | ||
' | The consonants /ʔ h/ and ejectives can't be geminated. | ||
==Morphology== | |||
Nouns in [PAGENAME] come in three numbers: singular, dual and plural, and three states: indefinite, definite and construct (marked with suffixes and/or sometimes with vowel changes). Furthermore there are six cases marked with prepositions: | |||
*nominative | |||
*accusative | |||
*lative | |||
*ablative | |||
*locative | |||
*instrumental/comitative | |||
===Verbs=== | |||
Verbs don't inflect for person or tense, but they have two forms: absolute and conjunct, used as in Old Irish. | |||
==Syntax== | |||
[PAGENAME] syntax is SVO and head-final like Mandarin. |
