Malh'orr

Overview
Malh'orr (also called Malh'úrrhé) is a Germanic language most closely related to Standard German.

Malh'orr has the same gender system (masculine, neuter, and feminine), with one plural, the same basic verb system, and the two languages share most of the same roots for vocabulary.

Phonology
The possible structure of any one syllabe is: (C)(C)(C)V(V)(C)(C)(C)


 * This form is used before vowels.
 * Replaced by 'rr' in proper nouns.

If a consonant is doubled, it is held for a longer amount of time, and both ends the syllable before it, and begins the next.

If a consonant formed with an 'h' (bh, dh, jh, etc.) is doubled only the first letter is doubled.

Ex. nosa (no - sa) 'nose' vs. nossa (nos - sa) 'note'

'cabha' (ca - bha) 'compartment' vs. 'cabbha' (cabh - bha) 'cap/ hat'

Nouns
Nouns have one of three genders (masculine, feminine, or neuter).

Unlike German, nouns have declensions in the nouns themselves, not in the articles.

All noun declensions are regular.

There are 5 possible cases a noun or pronoun may take: nominative, dative, accusative, genitive, locative, and prepositional.

Masculine Declensions
(on the word 'torh' [door]) Note: the plural declensions are all the same, so they won't be repeated.

Feminine Declensions
(on the word 'cadhe' [cat])

Neutral Declensions
(on the word 'hus' [house)

Articles
There are two forms of articles: definite and indefinite.

They preceed the noun the modify, and do not declense with case.
