Noun Cases

 

Back to Kašte page

 

There two main affixes used to mark case.

 

Subjects always end in a vowel,

Objects always end in a consonant.

 

The two main affixes only apply to transitive verbs. The Subject of intransitive verbs are always not marked.

 

If the Subject happens to be a word that ends in a consonant, you make it end in a vowel by adding "-ri" to the end.

Om -> Omri (Rock)

Kužum -> Kužumri (Cake)

Karan -> Karanri (Food)

 

If the Object happens to be a word that ends in a vowel, you make it end in a consonant by replacing the last vowel with "eu", and adding the CN pair I talked about in the Animacy page.

• Kowo > Kow-eu-þ: Koweuþ (Dragon)
• Saðka > Saðk-eu-š: Saðkeuš (Tree)
• Čanki > Čank-eu-s: Čankeus (Apple)

 

Here is the list of CN pairs, so you don't have to go to the other page to see them again.

• A - Š
• E - Ž

 

• O - Þ
• Y - Þ
• U - Ð

 

• I - S
