Ẹlnk Verbs INFLECTION The Old English verbal inflectional system has been ─ whaddaya know? Mostly leveled! The only remaining trace of inflection is that the participles, much like the genitive, were often lexicalized. It was the first person singular present that became the general form. Thus one ...

I've decided to give another artlang a try, this time not oligosynthetic. This is partially because I don't want to deal with the problems with Daas right now, and also due to the fact that one of my conspecies is now confirmed to NOT speak Daas. However, I do want the languages to be related parti...

As tena.

Okay.

I point at the cat's left front paw. "As tena i catus?"

A Tonal Anglic Language (Ẹlnk?) Derived from Old English. Probably not spoken on Earth, since the nearest contour-tone languages to the Anglo-Saxons were relatively far, and I don't wanna work out interactions with real languages. So this is more a thought experiment, I suppose, unless I get (or so...

[Unnamed] Nominal Inflection Nouns in this language inflect primarily for number. They may be pluralized with a prefix də- , but there is also a distributive plural məlaŋ- .

Is that not two morphemes? Isn't Daas a language where every segment (consonant or vowel) means something?
