Proper names are marked for grammatical case in the same way as animate singular common nouns. Regular sandhi over morpheme boundaries is not triggered (for instance, ''tanTavar'' instead of ''**tanDavar'', see below). | |||
In the Romanization, the capitalization of the proper name remains in place while prefixes and suffixes remain in minuscle, e.g.: | |||
''“Farŭl” {Ø-Farŭl} {{sc|nom}}-Farŭl'' vs. ''“anFarŭl” {an-Farŭl} {{sc|erg}}-Farŭl'' or | |||
''“Perit” {Ø-Perit} {{sc|nom}}-Perit'' vs. ''“belPerit” {bVl-Perit} {{sc|dat}}-Perit'' or | |||
''“Tavar” {Ø-Tavar} {{sc|nom}}-Tavar'' vs. ''“tanTavar” {tVn-Tavar} {{sc|abs}}-Tavar''. | |||
Other names, like given names, nicknames and pet names based on common nouns are marked with the proper name marker {{sc|pnm}} ''–gV'' or ''–Vg''. | |||
The proper name vocative, derived from a reduplicated form of the {{sc|pnm}}, fossilized in the forms ''-gagV'' and ''-agVg'', with epenthesis of the harmonically neutral vowel ''a''. In this latter form, the first ''g'' is subject to sandhi, while the second isn’t. E.g. ''Tavar'' → ''Tavarraga!'', ''Perit'' → ''Perittagi!'', ''Farŭl'' → ''Farŭllagŭ!''. | |||
