Morphology:

Tysren has a system of noun classes, with 4 different classes. Each one has an ending or small set of endings, however not all words exhibit this easy pattern. Here are all the endings you need to know

Class 1, humans:

-A

Class 2, animate things

-iż

Class 3, inanimate things

-O

Class 4, Abstract things, tools

-e

Tysren also has a case system, made up of 7 distinct cases. Here’s how one declines nouns:

• Ergative: -(e)c
• Absolutive: ∅
• Possessive: -he (word may undergo syncope)
• Dative: -ne
• Ablative: -ni
• Instrumental/Prepositional: -(V/e)c (with V being the final vowel of the word duplicated)
• Additive: -is
• Vocative: ∅/-eka

Note: The additive case is sometimes written with a hyphen in cases where it might need to be made more clear.

Like in many other languages, the verbs in Tysren conjugate. A normal verb ends in a geminate consonant and the vowel A (written with a capital as Tysren uses a system of vowel harmony in which A could be either a or ä). To get the conjugated stem of the verb, you degeminate the consonant and remove A. Then, you apply the following endings. I will give only what is used.)

Present Inidicative
