===Nouns=== | |||
Almost all nouns in Ilda end in the suffix ''-as'' or ''-ās''. This feature probably comes from [[Proto-Yeldhic]], which used the suffix ''*-ḗs''<ref>Derived from Etzeá ''-oéẕ''.</ref> to denote nouns in the [[w:Genitive case|genitive case]], although some linguists believe that the genitive suffix was ''*-sḡa''<ref>Derived from Burodi ''-skœ''.</ref>, and that instead the Ilda suffix was derived from the Proto-Yeldhic [[w:Accusative case|accusative]] suffix, ''*-Vḵs''. | |||
Ilda has three noun cases- the '''[[w:Genitive case|genitive case]]''', the '''[[w:Accusative case|accusative case]]''' and the '''[[w:Dative case|dative case]]'''. | |||
====Genitive case==== | |||
The genitive case is denoted with the suffix ''-aska/āska'', save for the word ''[[Contionary:tāsnac|tāsnac]]''(meaning "horse"), where instead the prefix ''o-'' is used. | |||
=====Examples===== | |||
* ''Us uswāska tāsnac''(The ''red'' horse) | |||
