Grammar
Word Order
Ancaron verbs mark the subject as a suffix and the direct object as a prefix, forming a OVS word order.
- Bocpunmuc.
- boc-pun-muc
- rock-hold-I
- I hold a rock.
Tense markers and then any adverbs immediately precede the verb, following the object.
- Boccivtorsipunmuc.
- boc-civ.tor-sipun-muc
- rock-FUT.quickly-throw-I
- I will quickly throw the rock.
Adjectives also immediately precede the word they modify.
- Tucbocpunmuc.
- tuc-boc-pun-muc
- old-rock-hold-I
- I hold an old rock.
However, while the direct object precedes the verb and subject, the indirect object follows the verb and subject as a separate word.
- Boccivsipunmuc Mardon.
- boc-civ.sipun-muc Mardon
- rock-FUT.throw-I Mardon
- I will toss the rock to Mardon.
Possessive forms are treated as adjectives. Also note that most words are not limited to a specific part of speech.
- Docpunpunmuc.
- Doc-pun-pun-muc
- Your-hand-hold-I
- I hold your hand.
Numbers
Numbers are in general read off from left to right as individual numerals
- vet
- vet
- one
- one
- vetvan
- vet-van
- one-zero
- ten
- vetvanviv
- vet-van-viv
- one-zero-five
- one hundred and five
However larger numbers have their own words to help break up the list. Any zeros following these higher number words are ignored until a non-zero number is found.
- vuet
- vuet
- thousand
- one thousand
- vetvervuetviv
- vet-ver-vuet-viv
- one-eight-thousand-five
- eighteen thousand and five
- vetvervuetvivvan
- vet-ver-vuet-viv-van
- one-eight-thousand-five-zero
- eighteen thousand and fifty
Plurals
To make a word plural, add the unspecific plural prefix "car"
- on
- on
- person
- person
- caron
- car.on
- PLR.person
- people
Alternatively, numbers can be used instead to for a specific plural.
- vucon
- vuc.on
- three.person
- three people
"In" is also used as a plural prefix as well to represent large amounts but remaining unspecific in total number.
- inon
- in.on
- many.people
- many people
