=== Prepositions === | |||
=== Articles === | |||
Articles start with /o/, as they combine with prepositions, which end in /o/, similar to how French combines à le into au. | |||
Articles are given the gloss ART. | |||

=== Determiners & Pronouns === | |||
=== Collective Nouns/Classifiers === | |||
CL - means collective for modern, classifier for future (V=Maybe [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classifier_(linguistics) classifiers] will develop???) | |||
word "kal" (will be in Lexicon) | |||
for example: | |||
* kal mano: a group of people | |||
* kal kal mano: a group of group of people | |||

=== Nouns === | |||

==== Mass Nouns ==== | |||
All nouns are treated as countable nouns, an example of such a language is turkish. The default, like turkish, is also plural. | |||
For example: | |||
* Goàñe, Meaning rice, is a mass noun, but treated as a countable noun | |||
* The singular "Goàñe" may be translated into english as "a grain of rice" | |||
* The plural, "Goàñeñ", may be translated as "rice" | |||

=== Word Order === | |||
The language is SVO in informal registers and SOV in formal registers. | |||

* many Pronouns | |||
* all Numbers | |||
* '''NOT''' Start of sentence | |||
=== Alignment === | === Alignment === | ||
The morphosyntactic alignment of the conlang is active-stative. (A=SA, O=SO ) It is fluid-S, having a prefix for volition. The language has many voices, including but not limited to active and stative, though impersonal verbs can’t have a stative voice. | The morphosyntactic alignment of the conlang is active-stative.

Many transitive verbs have both unergative and unaccusative versions. While some are unergative when they have no volition prefix (underlyingly), and while some are unaccusative, some may even be ambiguous. | Many transitive verbs have both unergative and unaccusative versions.
