===Nouns=== | |||
Spocian nouns are only inflected by means of three suffixes that show, respectively, direct objects (i.e. accusative), indirect objects (i.e. dative), and possessors (i.e. genitive). The "accusative" suffix is '''-(u)t''', the "dative" is '''-mi''', and the "genitive" is '''-(a)l''': | |||
: ''qvʾac'' "house" | |||
: ''mnas qvʾact'' "I build a house" | |||
: ''gemôƛdzełi qvʾacmi'' "we're going to leave it at home (lit. "to the house")" | |||
: ''gineqʾ qvʾacal'' "the garden of the house" | |||
Note that Spocian has [[w:Suffixaufnahme|Suffixaufnahme]]: | |||
: ''mnas qvʾact młôdzbalt'' "I build my sister's house" | |||
: ''gemôƛdzełi gineqʾmi qvʾacalmi'' "we're going to leave it in the house's garden". | |||
Nouns possessed by pronominal subjects are marked by the same markers used for verbal non-past subjects (but note 3/4SG ''as(i)-'' and plural ''-łi-'' before the stem), i.e.: | |||
: ''mar'' "mother" | |||
: ''momar'' "my mother" | |||
: ''gmar'' "your (sg.) mother" | |||
: ''asmar'' "his/her mother" | |||
: ''mołimar'' "our (excl.) mother" | |||
: ''gmołimar'' "our (incl.) mother" | |||
: ''gełimar ''your (pl.) mother" | |||
: ''asiłimar'' "their mother" | |||
