NOUNS

In this text, three noun classes can be found. The first is always a common gender and can be primarily traced back to PIE -os and -eh₂. A table can be found below.

The second noun class is always neuter can be primarily traced back to PIE -om. Some words have a second stem; this stem is used for all plural forms. A table can be found below.

The third class can be traced back to PIE -tēr and -is. A table can be found below.

ADJECTIVES

Only class I-II adjectives appear in the text. These agree in case, gender and number with the noun they’re accompanying. They use class I for the common gender and class II for neuters. Adjectives usually follow the noun.

CASES

Several cases in Carisitt may seem to have an unusual use. The accusative forms are used in vocative constructions.

VERBS

All infinitives end on -ch. Luckily enough for you, all verbs in the text are in the past tense (and I haven’t fleshed out the other tenses yet). The suffixes are as follows:

• 1S -Ø
• 2S -es
• 3S -et
• 1P -om
• 2P -et
• 3P -ont

When following another vowel, a -v- is inserted. The 2s imperative is -Ø and the 2p imperative is -(e)t. The present participle is -ond and behaves like a class I-II adjective while agreeing with the subject.

PRONOUNS

Possessive pronouns agree in case, number and gender and always precede the noun. They behave like class I-II adjectives.
The personal pronouns can be found below:

The relative pronoun is genderless and agrees in number with the word it belongs to, but has the case of the function it serves in the clause. A table can be found below:
