Canonic is | Canonic is a poetic form of its [[Adamic Code|vernacular register]]. It applies of the [[Adamic Code#Coloration Table|Coloration Table]] to determine its grammatical relationships, such as sound laws following coloration rules, as well as cases and verbal conjugations, resulting in the addition of considerable fusional morphologhy. | ||

== | ===Colored Inflection=== | ||
... | Affixes are modified according to the Coloration Table and the Triptote Table in order to assign fusional significance to its phonemes. As a result, there are no articles in the language; plus, the canonic conjugation, for lacking the subjunctive and junctive functions or a finite verb, and the presence of non-finite forms, is relegated as a class of enunciative constructions often associated with literary practices (i.e. canonic verbs appear in narration solely, or when an event is being described without biases, as in ''murus askút, quat'' "he said 'I think that he is dead'"). | ||

The Canonic Declension distinguishes itself from the Canonic Conjugation merely by inverting the inclusion of ''-a-''. Compare the pair ''zīs'' "to the giant" / ''azīs'' "the giant's" with ''kāuf'' "I kill" / ''iāpa'' "I am killed". | |||
