Seuna nouns

"Nouns in Seuna" has a lot of old ideas.

plural

The plural is formed by adding a final n.

kloga = shoe, klogan = shoes

relative space tags

These eight tags are endstuck to nouns.

bai = above

kewa = below

das = in front (i.e. this side of)

cilo = behind (i.e. at the far side of)

go = on (covers about the same semantic space as English "on")

tian = beside

ju = in

mu = out

When the noun is plural, the n mutates to m in the first case and to ŋ in the second and fifth example.

role tags

You can say that we have seven cases.

The nominative is unmarked. Also the nounn that follows all prepositions is unmarked. The accusative is also unmarked unless it is definite, in which case it takes the endtag s.

The endtag fi often corresponds to English "at" or "to". If the verb in the clause is a verb of motion, then fi corresponds to "to". If the verb in the clause is not a verb of motion, then fi corresponds to "at".
