Carpathian 23 - Dark Storm

often as Hungarian “h.” Similarly, the Finnic/Carpathian
     “p” often corresponds to the Hungarian “f.”

    2. CARPATHIAN GRAMMAR AND OTHER CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LANGUAGE
    Idioms. As both an ancient language and a language of an earth people, Carpathian is more
     inclined toward use of idioms constructed from concrete, “earthy” terms, rather than
     abstractions. For instance, our modern abstraction “to cherish” is expressed more
     concretely in Carpathian as “to hold in one’s heart”; the “netherworld” is, in Carpathian,
     “the land of night, fog and ghosts”; etc.
    Word order. The order of words in a sentence is determined not by syntactic roles (like subject,
     verb and object) but rather by pragmatic, discourse-driven factors. Examples: “Tied vagyok.” (“Yours am I.”); “Sivamet andam.” (“My heart I give you.”)
    Agglutination. The Carpathian language is agglutinative; that is, longer words are constructed from
     smaller components. An agglutinating language uses suffixes or prefixes whose meaning
     is generally unique, and which are concatenated one after another without overlap.
     In Carpathian, words typically consist of a stem that is followed by one or more suffixes.
     For example, “sívambam” derives from the stem “sív” (“heart”) followed by “am” (“my,” making it “my heart”),
     followed by “bam” (“in,” making it “in my heart”). As you might imagine, agglutination
     in Carpathian can sometimes produce very long words, or words that are very difficult
     to pronounce. Vowels often get inserted between suffixes to prevent too many consonants
     from appearing in a row (which can make the word unpronounceable).
    Noun cases. Like all languages, Carpathian has many noun cases; the same noun will be “spelled”
     differently depending on its role in the sentence. Some of the noun cases include:
     nominative (when the noun is the subject of the sentence), accusative (when the noun
     is a direct object of the verb), dative (indirect object), genitive (or possessive),
     instrumental, final, supressive, inessive, elative, terminative and delative.
    We will use the possessive (or genitive) case as an example, to illustrate how all
     noun cases in Carpathian involve adding standard suffixes to the noun stems. Thus
     expressing possession in Carpathian—“my lifemate,” “your lifemate,” “his lifemate,”
     “her lifemate,” etc.—involves adding a particular suffix (such as “-am”) to the noun
     stem (“päläfertiil”), to produce the possessive (“päläfertiilam”—“my lifemate”). Which
     suffix to use depends upon which person (“my,” “your,” “his,” etc.) and whether the
     noun ends in a consonant or a vowel. The table below shows the suffixes for singular
     nouns only (not plural), and also shows the similarity to the suffixes used in contemporary
     Hungarian. (Hungarian is actually a little more complex, in that it also requires
     “vowel rhyming”: which suffix to use also depends on the last vowel in the noun; hence
     the multiple choices in the cells below, where Carpathian only has a single choice.)
