[y] and [ø] are allophones of /u/ and /o/, respectively, occurring in complementary distribution with [u] and [o].

There are five diphthongs: [æj], [æw], [iw], [oj], and [øj]. They are best analyzed phonemically as /Vj/ rather than /Vɪ̯/.

Nominal Morphology

The underlying morphophoneme ъ is realized differently according to different stem endings:

  • [y] + -ъ => -i
  • [w] + -ъ# => -[]
  • [l] + -ъ => -e
  • [r] + -ъ => -e
  • C => -aC
  • otherwise -ъ ==> -[]

Stems ending in [w] will mutate the endings as follows:

  • [w] + -o => -u
  • [w] + -u => -u
  • [w] + -ъC => -uC

1st Declension

Animate and Inanimate Genders. Distinguished by Genitive Singular as -is. If the stem ends in a vowel, the Vocative has the same form as the Nominative and Accusative, and the vowel is dropped in the plural.

Animate Inanimate
Underlying "Bread"
laib-
"Shepherd"
airdj-
"speech"
præta-
Underlying "might"
alf-
"cliff"
nasj-
Vocative -e laibe airdje præta alf nasi
Nominative laib airdi
Accusative
Genitive -is laibis airdis prætais -is alfis nasis
Dative -i laibi airdi prætai -i alfi nasi
 
Nominative -ъs laibas airdjas prætas -a alfa nasja
Accusative
Genitive -on laibon airdjon præton -on alfon nasjon
Dative -ъm laibam airdim prætam -ъm alfam nasim

2nd Declension

Animate Genders only. Distinguished by Genitive Singular as -os.

Animate
Underlying "mango"
gollet-
"child"
magw-
Vocative gollet mag
Nominative
Accusative
Genitive -os golletos magus
Dative -u golletu magu
Nominative -ъs golletas magus
Accusative
Genitive -on golleton magun
Dative -ъm golletam magum

3rd Declension

Animate and Inanimate Genders. Distinguished by Genitive Singular as -in.

Animate Inanimate
Underlying Underlying "eye"
og-
Vocative -a -a oga
Nominative
Accusative -ъn


Genitive -in -in ogin
Dative -i -i ogin
Nominative -ъn -ъn ogan
Accusative
Genitive -on -on ogon
Dative -ъm -ъm ogam
