| |
| | |
| Nouns are commonly preceded by determiners. Plural nouns are formed by appending -'''im'''. Dual nouns are formed by appending -'''ik'''. Trial nouns are formed by appending -'''ur'''. This does not alter the stress:
| |
| | |
| == gender ==
| |
| | |
| == case ==
| |
| | |
| === nominative ===
| |
| | |
| The basic form of each noun, and the one cited in dictionaries, is the nominative singular. All the other forms can be derived from it.
| |
| | |
| === oblique ===
| |
| | |
| * -'''o''' / -'''wa'''
| |
| : '''beto''' - the house, to the house, etc.
| |
| | |
| === genitive ===
| |
| | |
| The genitive for possessors, composition, and partiality.
| |
| | |
| * -'''ai''' / -'''ya'''
| |
| | |
| : '''tibin kawalya''' - the horse's hay
| |
| : '''gohan tibinai''' - a meal of hay
| |
| : '''kawal tibinai yemeshu''' - the horse ate some hay
| |
| | |
| === locative ===
| |
| | |
| The locative case is used for:
| |
| | |
| * -'''(u)sh''' / -'''da'''
| |
| | |
| : ''location''
| |
| :: '''muhitush''' - in the ocean
| |
| :: '''toshida''' - in the city
| |
| :: '''betush''' - in, at, on the house
| |
| : ''placement in time''
| |
| :: '''gesheda''' - at night
| |
| :: '''puyush''' - in the winter
| |
| | |
| === instrumental ===
| |
| | |
| The instrumental expresses what an action is performed with. An important use of the instrumental is as an adverbial, since '''Ilya''' lacks a morphological adverb.
| |
| | |
| * -'''ak''' / -'''ha'''
| |
| : '''betak''' - using; with the house
| |
| : '''sarha''' - quickly (with quickness) | |

| Verbs are the workhorses of '''Ilya'''. They can mark for both agent and patient as well as tense. Many simple sentences are composed of only a verb. Generally, verb roots start and end with a consonant.
| |
| | |
| == tense ==
| |
| | |
| Non-past is not marked. Past tense is marked with '''-esh''', and remote with '''-ur'''.
| |
| | |
| * '''mashan''' - <small>walk-1SG</small> - I walk. / I am walking.
| |
