| ===Nouns===
| |
| Nouns inflect for definiteness, number and case. The definite suffix is ''-ide'' or ''-id-'' when followed by another suffix.
| |
|
| |
| There is a distinction between inalienable and alienable possession: the former uses ''-yl'' [-ÿɰ̃] and the latter uses ''-ol'' [-ɔ̃].
| |
|
| |
| Noun cases:
| |
|
| |
| *-ine /i:n/ = accusative
| |
| *-one = dative
| |
| *-ase = comitative
| |
| *-ate = locative (from ''terin'', house in both Clofabosin and Phormatolide)
| |
| *-ium = relativizer
| |
|
| |
| ===Pronouns===
| |
| ''cephin, ceph-'' = this
| |
|
| |
| ''fluorin, fluoro-'' = that
| |
|
| |
| ''glycin, glyco-'' = who? what?
| |
| ===Verbs===
| |
| There are two tenses in Phormatolide: past, non-past<!--and gnomic-->. The non-past ending is ''-phen'' (related to the Clofabosin agentive ''-fen''), and the past ending is ''-zole''. <!--The gnomic ending is ''-til'', cognate to the gnomic attributive ending ''-tril'' in Clofabosin.-->
| |
|
| |
| In the desiderative, the endings are ''-profen'', ''-prazole''<!--and ''-protil''-->.
| |
|
| |
| ====Attributive verbs====
| |
| If the subject is the head, the suffix ''-ol'' is attached to the inflected form of the verb:
| |
|
| |
| The present tense attributive uses -yl in place of -phen.
| |
|
| |
| :'''''trych chloroyl'''''
| |
| :trych chloro-yl
| |
| :world-NOM big-PRES.ATTR
| |
| :[ˈtrÿkin ˈχɴ̆ɔrɔỹ]
| |
| :''the big world''
| |
|
| |
| :'''''amph phthozolol'''''
| |
| :amph phtho-zole-ol
| |
| :person-NOM eat-PAST-ATTR
| |
| :[ˈaɱf ˈfθɔzɔɴ̆ɔ̃]
| |
| :''the person who ate''
| |
|
| |
| Otherwise, the clitic ''-ium'' is attached to the head noun, followed by a relative clause that looks like a finite clause.
