Chuaimisc /xuəmʲisʲc/ is a Greek and Irish-inspired sister of Time Traveler English. It is significantly more agglutinative than English, and has broad and slender consonants like Irish.

Morphology

Nouns

Chuaimisc nouns fall into three declension classes. First declension nouns pluralize by slenderizing their final consonants, and second declension nouns pluralize by adding final -a or -e. Most nouns belong to the third declension, where nouns pluralize in -s, -as, or -es.

Like in Greek and unlike in Irish, there are no morphological mutations.

Nouns in Chuaimisc have nine cases, loosely corresponding to the Ossetic ones.
