narethanaal grammar notes

-‘ratodo’ is part of the narethanaal system of quantifiers... in this instance ‘reak ratodo’ ignores the usual postpositional form and simply means ‘towards more than 1’ which corresponds with another quantifier ‘tei’ which means ‘less than or equal to 8’... the use of the word ‘towards’ indicates that it is less than halfway between 1 and 8... this basically includes the numbers 1,2, and 3, but it is obviously not 1 because ‘peolea’ is plural so narethanaal would just leave it as 2 or 3 offspring
-word order is OVS... postpositions... modifiers(adj, adverbs, etc.) come before the word they modify
-chronological order in narethanaal is listed backwards so what should be the opening line is instead the closing line and vice versa
-compounded nouns take the form “_____ of _____” (i.e. munkathnatova= book(munkath) of words(natova)
-words of other parts of speech can be made into nouns by reduplicating the first consonant to be followed by a noun and the vowel that follows it and prefixing them (spritsh=rispritsh)... if there is no consonant with a vowel following it then only the last consonant is reduplicated and prefixed (uit=tuit)...
-a verb can be made into the doer of that verb by first adding an ‘–a’ thereby making it plural and then adding an ‘n’ making it singular again
-a combination of the past and present tense indicates that something was and continues to be performing the action of the verb...
-senses in narethanaal are indicated by possession... instead of “you see the monkey” it would be “the monkey possesses your vision” similarly “Kate touches the cat” would be “the cat possesses Kate’s touch”
