Declension and Articles
The original noun declension was quickly simplified to one of the following suffixes ("X" means anything, but these are rare and are typically with set suffixes) All nouns have their genders distinguished with the developed articles along with their definateness. Definite proximal came from HIC, distal from ILLE , indefinite from ŪNUS , and mass articles came from ŪLLUS. Initial sandhi is when the preceding word ends with a vowel. Final sandhi is when the following word starts with a vowel. Both is when both the preceding and following words end/begin with a vowel. Initial and both sandhi forms do not apply to mass articles as they do not have them given that they start with consonants.
 * -o : masculine, singular
 * -a : feminine, plural
 * -∅, -X : masculine/feminine, singular
 * -is : masculine/feminine, plural

English


 * After the Trojan War, Ulysses came with twenty-two men to the land of the Cyclopses. In the cave, they found some good cheese While they were eating it, the Cyclops, Polyphemus, lead a big sheep into his own cave and saw the Greeks. "What are you doing in my cave? I will punish you all; if you have a malicious plan in your hearts." "We are sailing from Troy," Ulysses told him. "What will you give to us?" However, Polyphemus exclaimed, "Fools! What will you give to me that is precious to you?" Without delay, Polyphemus took and ate a couple men! Then he asked, "What is your name?" Ulysses responded, "No one." While Polyphemus was asleep, the Greeks hatched a plan. They sharpend and set ablaze a log and sent it into Polyphemus' eye. Oh, poor Polyphemus. He is not nice to you. Other Cyclopses came, but they didn't sense any real danger: "No one can kill me!" Polyphemus cried out. "Great!" they said to him. "Bye!" The Greeks therefore could leave the cave. The blinded Cyclops heard these words, "Bye! I'm not 'no one,' I'm Ulysses!"
