Yeah, to echo what Figgy said, we need to figure out verbs first.

Sorry for double-posting, but this is really a separate thought. I don't want to exactly replicate English's case system, but I'd accept it with a little tweaking. Like maybe throw in a fourth case, say, instrumental, to unite constructions like "in Terris" tarnuunan, "by road", "with jam" sogooan, "smiled upon by the stars" hodjeron (note metaphor), etc. This is actually a great idea. So "-n" in the singular and "-(e)rn" or "-(e)ron" in the plural? I'm interpreting it as -an in the singular and -(e)ron in the plural. |

i've started a dictionary in google sheets (i'm assuming this is a publicly viewable forum, so pm your email for edit access) keeping it solely to content words and not functional words for now I've started to update this with full noun forms, FYI |
