''' | '''Thurish''' /ˈθɚrɪʃ/ ''THER-ish'' (natively ''þawrysko'', ''þawrysk górăd'' /θəwˈrɨsk gorəd/ or more formally ''þawrysk gordrad''; ''þawrysk'' is cognate to Russian север 'north') is an IE language isolate spoken in our Norway and Sweden (its speakers are called "the Thurs" in English). It evolved in a sprachbund with Brythonic languages and [[Hivantish]]. It has some non-SAE features, such as split-ergativity (conditioned by tense as in Hindi). Stress is weakly final (penultimate in "segolates"). | ||
Thurish sound changes turned the palatalized consonants into geminates or "Greekified" them (lj > ľľ > ɬ; nj > ňň > jn; śj, tj > śś, ćć > θ, etc.). Proto-Thurish had something similar to the PBS acute, which made vowels RTR/lax and thus had RTR-like effects on vowels (i > e, u > o, a > o in some cases; lack of acute conditions aR > eR). | |||
It is inspired by Welsh, Greek, and Hebrew. | |||

==Phonology== | |||
Voiceless stops are aspirated; historical voiced stops may be devoiced | |||
==Declension== | |||
Warhinysko has 5 cases: nominative, accusative, oblique-ergative, genitive, and vocative. The oblique-ergative was formed from a merger of the PBS dative, instrumental and locative cases. | |||
Thurish has lost IE grammatical gender. However, like in Slavic languages, there is an animacy distinction: the accusative case is the same as the genitive for animate nouns and the same as the nominative for inanimate nouns. | |||
*''Llawbdon min'''a''' jeno'''s''''' = I love my wife (animate) | |||
*''Llawbdon min wordrad'' = I love my language (inanimate) | |||

==== Segolates ==== | |||
"Segolates" come from PBS CVCC- stem nouns. Some segolates (the ones that have fixed accent in PBS) do not change their stems in the plural. | |||

==Verbs== | |||
Thurish has three different regular verb paradigms: | |||
*''-oþ'' verbs (merger of Lithuanian -oti, PS -ati and Lithuanian -ėti, PS -ěti; verbs that come from -ēʔtei become Greekified); e.g. ''jynoþ'' 'to know' (~ Pol. znać, Lith. žinoti); ''uðoþ'' 'to move' (~ Lith. judėti); ''ustêtoþ'' 'to result (from)' (~ Lith. tekėti) | |||
*''-iþ'' verbs (~ Lithuanian -yti, PS -iti); e.g. ''ărbiþ'' 'to work'; ''gwardiþ'' 'to speak' | |||
*''-þ'' or ''-t'' verbs (~ Lithuanian -ti, PS -ti); e.g. ''nest, neþ-'' 'to carry' | |||
agreement of the participle is with the direct object, unless the object is 1st or 2nd person in which case it's just "hymt es" | |||
''jynoþ'' 'to know': | |||
*Present tense: jynon, jynoh, jyno, jynom, jynoty, jynosaws | |||
*Present participle: jynos (sg), jynosi (pl) | |||
*Past participle: jynot (sg), jynote (pl) | |||
**Past tense: jynot es, jynote sos | |||
*Future tense: jynos bûsu, jynos bûs, jynos bus, jynosi bûsăm, jynosi bûsty, jynosi bus | |||
*Imperative: jynonu! (sg), jynoþnu! (pl) | |||
''llawbiþ'' 'to love': | |||
*Present tense: llaw'''bd'''on, llawbih, llawbi, llawbim, llawbity, llaw'''bd'''osaws | |||
*Present participle: llaw'''bd'''os (sg), llaw'''bd'''osi (pl) | |||
*Past participle: llawbit (sg), llawbite (pl) | |||
**Past tense: llawbit es, llawbite saws | |||
*Future tense: llawbdos bûsu, llawbdos bûs, llawbdos bus, llawbdosi bûsăm, llawbdosi bûsty, llawbdosi bus | |||
*Imperative: llawbnu! (sg), llawbiþnu! (pl) | |||
(Some ''-iþ'' verbs undergo stem changes in some forms: ''b p d t h g k l r m n w'' > ''bd pt ð þ þ d t ll rr mn nn j'' | |||
Conjugation of ''beroþ'' 'to give birth' (irregular): | |||
*Present tense: berăn, berăh, ber, berăm, berăty, beras | |||
*Past tense (suppletive, from *eḱs + imti, also split ergative): hymt es, hymte es | |||
