===Vowels===
=Classical Period literature=
The following vowels were used:
*Emisom Grouid's translations and poetry
*Lesch Mltzhyphe's tragedies
*Etsoj Jopah's poetry
*Alice in Wonderland/Proto-Hofstadterian stuff
 
=Romantic literature=
*Industrial revolution, some of its harms
**Two opposing camps: one favors returning to preindustrial society and one favors more tech and social development to fix problems
 
==Horror and science fiction==
In Talma, horror literature first took off in Amphir during the Romantic period and its literary influence spread to Skella and Fyxoom, which developed it into Lovecraft-esque science fiction literature. Horror literature also greatly influenced [[Verse:Tricin/Talma/Music|Talman classical music]] during the late Romantic period.

<sup>1</sup> Shortens to ''i'' when a suffix is added.
 
The ''participle'' is an agent noun or an adjective. Adverbializing it yields manner of action "as if to X".
 
The ''action noun'' ({{sc|axn}}) or ''gerund'' is used in action noun constructions, which are of the form SUBJECT-{{sc|gen}} AXN OBJECT-{{sc|acc}}. It is of importance in forming relative clauses, for Netagin does not have a relativizer.

==Syntax==
Little is attested about Ancient Netagin syntax; it is thought to have been syntactically ergative and almost completely head-initial like [[Old Netagin]].
