into Us'a Pa Kás. I then tried to make a post breaking down the syntax here in my thread. However, the language is too retarded to exist outside of my head, I think.Leonardo DaVinci wrote:Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

The predicate consists of three things:
- An auxiliary, which shows how the topic (see below) relates to the verb
- A verb, which is one of go, come, do, make
- An augment, which is an NP that gives more semantic information to the verb
So we have the AUG-V pairs "aimless_wandering do" and "eye POSS do", which can be translated as "to wander around aimlessly" and "to see"; the latter as a complication already has the subject in the augment because "eye" is mandatorily possessed.
Now, the topic is an NP as well, and it's promoted from elsewhere in the sentence, possibly from multiple places (as is the case here). The choice of NP is based on animacy - in this case the most animate NP was the pronoun "you". Wherever in the sentence this occurs, it is replaced by the morpheme T, which is realized as null if it's in a core relation with the verb (S, A or O), and as ti elsewhere (such as when it's the possessor of "eye").
The Modal is a modal particle, denoting "factual statement, very emotional"

Thank you. I've always loved all those quirky and bizarre Native American constructs. I guess this is an exercise in Mongolobaskanism.Frislander wrote:Love itKonungr wrote:Reformed Sharan entirely, adding some extensive Athabaskan influence, mostly in verbal mood and aspect enclitics.

I'll keep them with a nod towards Judaism and Islam, where (in the former, IIRC) the names were worn down so quickly that people had to come up with a new name for God.alynnidalar wrote:Keeping all of the names would be interesting! The various names could be used by certain ethnic groups, in certain areas, or by certain religious traditions.
