Language of the North

Grammar
The language of the North is an agglutinating language. Therefore, all inflections are realized by adding suffixes to word stems. In total, TLOTN has 3 different types of word stems to form the parts of speech: Adjectives are always derived from verbs or nouns and therefore don't have their own stems.
 * 1) Verbal stems - they must end in a diphthong: Verbs
 * 2) Nominal stems - they must end in a hard consonant: Nouns. pronouns, articles and numbers
 * 3) General stems - no mandatory ending: Adverbs (which are not derived from an adjective), prepositions, interjection and conjunctions

Only verbal and nominal stems can be inflected - verbal stems are conjugated while nominal stems are declined. Both types of stems undergo the so called "gradation" which is a regular change in word stems depending on what type of suffix is added to them.
 * 1) Consonant gradation: This is the regular change of hard consonants to soft consonants in nominal stems.
