Luthic

Etymology

From Gothic 𐌴𐌹𐍃 (eis) and Latin .

Pronunciation

Pronoun

eis (singular is)

  1. they (third person plural masculine pronoun, nominative case)
    • Eis sondo lûthici.

Usage notes

  • Luthic is a null-subject language, so nominative pronouns are usually absent. They are often not omitted when in the passive voice plural, since it is identical for all three persons.
