| | ==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. |
| The following vowels were used:
| |
|
| |
|
| <poem> | | <poem> |
| i iː u uː | | hm, i would picture a lovecraftian romance to have the romance be... consuming, destructive, the world falling around it |
| a aː oː

| ===Verbs===
| |
| Ancient Netagin has at least 12 binyanim:
| |
| *Binyan 1 verbs are verbs denoting intransitive actions ("come"), as well as stative verbs ("be cold") and some monotransitives. It is often considered the most basic form.
| |
| *Binyan 2 contains many monotransitive verbs, ("eat") including causativizations of Binyan 1 verbs ("make happy").
| |
| *Binyan 3 consists of verbs denote reflexive/reciprocal action ("get dressed", "kiss each other"), or change of state ("thicken").
| |
| *Binyan 4 contains causatives of transitive verbs ("feed") (and of some Binyan 2 and Binyan 3 verbs). Causatives of statives in the imperfective aspect may denote active maintenance of a state (as opposed to changing a state in the perfective aspect).
| |
| *Binyan 5 is roughly equivalent to the German prefix ''be-'' (applicative).
| |
| *Binyan 6 - telic, intensive
| |
| *Binyan 7 - telic
| |
| *Binyan 8 - "X a little, almost X"
| |
| *Binyan 9 - "X in advance, X for oneself" (from the middle voice)
| |
| *Binyan 10 - "-le"
| |
| *Binyan 11 verbs tend to express gradual processes.
| |
| *Binyan 12 - "mis-X, over-X"

| |
| <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.
