Camalic: Difference between revisions

There were also three grammatical cases: agentive/instrumental, patientive and genitive. The agentive case was marked with the particle *la~li (believed to be cognate with Semitic *li- "to" and Indo-European *-tlom ~ *-dʰlom). In [[L-Arabic]] that evolved into a prefix ''a- ~ al-''. The genitive case was marked with the particle *i. In Central Camalic, influenced by Indo-European and Semitic languages, the case particles are preposed while in Peripheral Camalic (e.g. [[Padmanābha]]), the particles evolved into suffixes in a more typically Eurasian nom-acc system.
