Grammar

This language is VSO. It is highly inflected and employs complex verbs, although there aren't truely a lot of these forms in this text. There are several cases which are used in this text out of the original seven, and these inflections are put on the end of noungs. Pronouns are also inflected as nouns. Adjective roots can be conjugated as verb roots, and are considered to belong to the verbal class. If an adjective modifies a noun, the adjective must take on an "Adjectiveal Derivational Morpheme" ('ted' in qangr), but it remains uninflected. Since the verb is highly inflected, this language drops the subject of the sentence if it can be implied by context. No determiners are used in this language. There are two moods in qangr - subjunctive and indicitive.

Noun Structure:

Root + (NDM) + plural + inflection

Verb Structure:

(tense) + Root + inflection + (mood) + (negation)

Passive Construction:

Main Verb + vodnok + Object (NOM) + Subject (INST)
