-A language isolate spoken in [[Verse:Irta|Irta]]'s Scotland and parts of [[Verse:CF Tricin|CF Tricin]]'s Cualand; hypothetical pre-Celtic substrate for Goidelic
+#redirect [[Hiberno-Arabic]]
-Should be weirder from a SAE perspective than Irish or Hebrew; "Korean but head initial and verb-initial"? With classifiers, honorifics and stuff
-* classifiers; alienable vs inalienable possession
-* no case or construct state; "noun1-3SG noun2" (inalienable) or "noun1 3SG-CLF noun2" (alienable) is used for possession
-* prefix mania
-* word order is strictly VOS (syntactically ergative; transitive sentences are VOS and intransitive ones are VS); emphasis requires fronting and cleft constructions
-** Differential agent marking; indefinite ergatives require an ergative particle
-* No definite articles
-pencil 1SG-CLF_long_object 'my pencil'
-== Lexicon ==
-* iskal = child, eskale = children
-== Phonology ==
-p t{{den}} k f θ x m n{{den}} ŋ l{{den}} r s ʃ h (''p t k f θ x h m n z l r s š h'')
-i e a o u
-m n l r can be syllabic; words must end in a vowel -m -n -l (never in a syllabic consonant)
-== Morphology ==
-vowel length might arise allophonically by dropping h
-st person r, 2nd person p, 3rd person n
-A stative verb:
-* r-θerhe = 'I stood/stand'
-* pe-θerhe = '2sg stood/stand'
-* n-θerhe = '3sg stood/stand'
-* la-θerhe = 'we stood/stand'
-* pa-θerhe = '2pl stood/stand'
-* kin-θerhe = 'they stood/stand'
-An inalienable noun:
-* r-penn = my head
-* am-penn= thy head
-* m-penn = his head
-* illa-penn = our heads
-* impa-penn = your heads
-* ak-penn = their heads
-An alienable noun:
-* okrsu r-mie 'my pencil'; okrsu l-miha 'my pencils'
-* okrsu am-mie 'your pencil'
-* okrsu m-mie 'his pencil'
-* okrsu illa-miha 'our pencils'
-* okrsu impa-miha 'your pencils'
-* okrsu aka-miha 'their pencils'
-(number is marked on the classifier)
-okrsu m-mie Šahn = Seán's pencil
-okrsu = a pencil/pencils; mie okrsu = the pencil; miha okrsu = the pencils; inalienable nouns have to take possessive prefixes and cannot be indefinite
-Noun plurals are often marked with stem vowel change in addition to suffixes
