==Calemerian countries and peoples== | |||
All country names are singular nouns; demonyms are plural-only nouns of the 1h declension - the singular for each one is <small>GEN</small> + ''lila'' (e.g. ''chlouvānumi lila'' "a Chlouvānem person"). The genitive plural is also used as an adjective. | |||
Note how many country names (and their associated demonyms) for major Evandorian countries (plus Spocius) come from Nähäri, the lingua franca in the large area east of Evandor called ''Eppillænan'' (itself a Nähäri borrowing) - which even today is exactly between Evandor and the Inquisition. Only Chlouvānem and Fathanic kept such toponyms for all of these countries - nowadays even languages of the Nähärosphere that had them have shifted to more Evandorian names for all or at least most of them. | |||
