GRAMMAR
Nouns are part of a noun class: masculine, feminine or collective. Adjectives and articles connected to the noun, as well as third person pronouns referring to it reference the noun class.
Collective is treated grammatically like feminine singular, even if it may be semantically plural.
Feminine is marked on adjectives with -a, plural with -s, in that order. Adding the feminine marker may cause an earlier vowel to disappear.
Adjectives generally follow the noun.
Verbs inflect for tense and subject. Regular verbs (v.) replace the infinitive ending (-ar, -er, -ir) with the following forms:
| -ast | 2nd person singular present |
| -a | 3rd person singular present |
| -an | 3rd person plural present |
| -aran | 3rd person plural future |
Irregular verbs inflect as follows (all forms present tense) (not all forms occur in the text):
| | esser | ir | gnir |
| 1s | sun | vegn | vegn |
| 3s | es | va | vegn |
| 3p | sun | van | vegnan |
Prepositions may fuse with following definite articles, producing the following (relevant) forms:
- in + il = i'l
- in + las = illas
- da + il = dal
