Current | Current Issues: | ||
*What purpose does accusative serve directly? Having been influenced heavily by Irish, Fén uses "cór", "del", "ce" and "dó" in the same way many languages use accusative. Currently in a lot of cases, it either emulates English or could be made into an adjective in many ways. It may be necessary to expand the case or else examine what uses remain for it. | |||
*Could there be issues if Perfective is lost? | |||
*Can Nér be removed in favour of Del? Hit against you v. Hit to you. Counter Example: "Race to the store against me", could this be worked around [or just the ambiguity of "Run to him" v. "Run against him"] | |||
Also, vocabularly. Always more vocabularly. | |||

This is the subject or actor in a sentence. It usually comes around the end of a sentence, unless the location or time of the action is being framed. | |||

It should be noted that in "to be" sentences [which use té as the principle verb] there is usually no agent or actor. This is covered in the "té" section. | |||
====Accusative noun phrase==== | |||
Accusative nouns are the direct objects of the sentence, which follow the verbs immediately. They are identified largely by syntax as they follow the verb immediately. There is a vestigal "ag" but this is not used except in rare cases of ambiguity. | |||
====Indirect noun phrases==== | |||
This refers to most cases of indirect objects which usually immediately follow Accusative nouns. In this category are both dative and instrumental. The difference between the two being order alone; Dative follows after Accusative, while Instrumental and Relative will follow after Dative or the relevant noun. | |||
====Framing noun phrases==== | |||
These are similar to a dependant clauses in English, though necessarily not conditional; these frame the place, time and reason why an action happened as well as an original source. It should be noted that if a place is part of the action or only partial, then that place should be either a Accusative/Dative [I went to the field] or relative [I went to the person who was at the field]. | |||
*Instrumental phrase; Objects which are used as instruments in order to perform an action. | |||
*Locative phrase; Objects which indicate where the action is taking place. | |||
*Temporal phrase; Objects which indicate when the action is taking place. Closely related to Locative. | |||
