Unadrosh crazy case system
This public article was written by [Deactivated User], and last updated on 30 May 2020, 04:52.

1. About case inflection and postpositions
2. About conjugation
3. Affixes and the derivational process
+ Write new article in Unadrosh
?FYI...
This article is a work in progress! Check back later in case any changes have occurred.
Cases in Unadrosh are 100% regular but not so obvious sometimes, here's why:

  • The primary cases (AGE, OBJ, VOC and GEN) used by nouns/adjectives aren't present on the verbs;
  • About half of the cases have 3 numbers distinctions while the remaining cases have a simple plural (Paucal is always different no matter the case is);
  • The instrumental-comitative case is the weirdest;
  • Most of the cases have multiple meanings;
  • Only the vocative and genitive/possessive doesn't have twin-opposite cases;
  • The genitive/possessive, instrumental-comitative and the abessive cases inflect primarily for persons. Also, they use the old plural system for the nouns.

    • I guess the warning ended so check out all the possibles versions of a noun:
