 Old Teuthish is a pretty standard ancient northern IE language, with a highly inflecting nominal morphology and a somewhat reduced verbal morphology.
-The definite article is ''inas / inā / inan''.
 There are seven grammatical cases in Old Teuthish: nominative, genitive, accusative, instrumental, dative, locative and vocative. There are also three numbers: singular, dual and plural, with the dual showing up only in pronouns and verbs.
