== '''Morphology''' ==
 
 
Djūn nouns are inflected for case and whether the noun carrys the definite article or not
 
 
Djūn is an Ergative_Absolutive Language. The Ergative case marks the subject of a transative verb.
 
 
the suffix -(ō)m is added to the noun to mark the Ergative case while no suffix is needed to mark the Absolutive case.
 
 
Example:
 
'''Vinidōm va cīdjī mū'''
 
Boy.PLUR-ERG 2PS.ABS have.3P future-particle
 
''Boys will have you''
 
 
the infix -(i)d marks the plural. It comes before the ergative suffix and after the root.
 
 
The suffix (though not present in the above sentence) -(ō)n marks that the root carries the definite article. When the word is marked for Ergativity the definite article is not marked. So our above sentence could be translated as "The Boys will have you" or "Boys will have you" depending on context.
 
 
The Djūn pronouns are as follows
 
________ERG_____ABS_____REFLEXIVE
 
1PS_____Tja_____Toi_____Tjī
 
1PP_____Nō______Bai_____Noi
 
2PS_____Vō______Va______Voi
 
2PP_____Djō_____No______Djoi
 
3PMS____Cī______Ga______Coi
 
3PFS____Hō______Cā______Hoi
 
3PP_____Pē______Nī______Poi
 
Imp_____Hit___hin___hoin
 
Imp-Pl__Hitid__hinid__hoinid
 
 
''*Imp = Impersonal''
 
 
Djūn Verbs are inflected for person and in one case (the participle) for tense. The Djūn tenses ( past and future) are expressed by separate morphemes. The Present does not need a separate morpheme unless forming the present participle.
 
 
infinitive: suffix '''-en'''
 
participle: '''-is''' + '''nōmen''' inflected for person
 
1st Person: '''-(h)ō'''
 
2nd Person: '''-(h)a'''
 
3rd Person: '''-(h)ī'''
 
All-Persons Plural: '''-(h)ē'''
 
 
The tense morphemes are as follows
 
'''mō:''' past morpheme
 
'''mī:''' present morpheme (only required in participle constructions)
 
'''mū:''' future morpheme
 
Tense morphemes follow the verb
 
 
Examples
 
 
1PS: 1 Person Singular
 
ERG: Ergative
 
ABS: Absolutive
 
1P: 1st Person
 
inf: infinitive
 
part: Participle
 
(past,present,future-)tnsmrph: tense morpheme

c. Approximants cannot begin a word. Approximants also have to have a Plosive or only the following
fricatives infront of them /f v s z h/.


Djūn has Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order by default.
d. /r\/ cannot come after /p b k s z g/


e. retroflex consonants can only come at the end of a word


The Djūn verbal moods are:


'''D. Syllable Structure'''


Subject-Object-Verb - indictive


Verb-Object-Subject - question
a. CV(C)


Subject-Verb-Object - subjunctive
= II.Grammar: =


Verb-Object-Subject - command, -īm suffix is added to the verb which is not inflected


== '''I. The Ergative Case''' ==


Examples




'''Tja va phīhō.'''
a. The Ergative Case marks the subject of a transitive verb. The Ergative Case is marked by the suffix, -(o)m.


''I love you''




'''Phīhō va tja?'''
b. The Ergative Pronouns are as follows:


''Do I love you''


[[Image:Tablee2.PNG]]


'''Cī phīhī va...'''


''should he love you...''
'''Sihlem hiud ciīs cugi mo.'''


''Eng: The worm went down into the earth''


'''Phīhenīm va cī!'''


''Love him!''
'''Tia toidan zado.'''


''Eng: I see this man.''




The Adjective follows the noun it modifies. The Adverb also follows the verb it modifies.
c. The Ergative Plural is expressed with the suffix, -(i)dom.




Djūn uses postpositions unlike English which uses prepositions. So "In the house" would be "the house in"
'''Sihledom toi haccēde.'''


Because there is no Genitive case in Djūn, Djūn uses the post position "hē" (of) to show possesion.
''Eng: Worms frighten me.''




Example:


== '''II. The Absolutive Case''' ==


'''Zomūn toi hē'''


Wolf.ABS 1PS.ABS of
a. The Absolutive case functions as the subject of intransitive verbs and the object of transitive verbs. The Absolutive case is unmarked by morphology but distinguished syntactically. The Absolutive case is also used as the object of postpositions.


''My wolf''


b. The Absolutive pronouns are as follows:


'''Cī zomūn toi hē nōmī'''


3PMS.ERG wolf.ABS 1PS.ABS of to-be-3P
[[image:tablee.png]]


''It/He is my wolf''


'''Ci toidan vōmi mo.'''


'''''The Restrictive Clause'''''
''Eng: He hit this man''


----


The Restrictive Clause is formed by using the word "vis" (that)
'''Tia buhia Ċav he phīho.'''


''Eng: I love the girl from Ċav.''


'''Toi vīnō vis Vō toi phīha'''


''I know that you love me''
c. The Absolutive plural is expressed with the suffix, (i)d.




The construction "I know you love me" is impossible unlike in English
'''Tia sihled zado mo.'''


''Eng: I saw the worm''


'''''Reflexiveness'''''
