Lúthnaek

Lúthnaek, natively lúþnaek ['lÿː θ n̥a ɛk] is a North Germanic posteriori artlang, created by Ludvig Lind.

Classification and Dialects
North Germanic posteriori artlang. Can be divided into Standard Lúthnaek and Northern Lúthnaek.

Phonotactics
There aren't any set phonotactics, though for example word-initial double plosives are rare.

Nouns
A noun is conjugated into plural by adding -ar to the end of the word. Words that end with -a removes the a and adds -ur instead. Words that end with -u removes the -u and adds -ir instead.

In definite form the noun adds -in to the end of the word. Words that end with -a or -ur just add an -n. Words that end with -u add -ni in singular and -na in plural.

Verbs
The infinitive form of a verb usually ends with a consonant, not always, but is nevertheless the root.

In present tense a vowel is usually added to the end of the root, which usually are a, e, i, or u. 

In past tense, -þe is added to the end of the root.

In perfect tense, -þa is added to the end of the root.

In pluperfect tens, -du is added to the end of the root.

Lúthnaek distinguishes between definite and indefinite future tense; definite future is an action that will definitely or within short happen, indefinite future is an action that will maybe or on a condition happen. It can be compared a bit with English will and going to. Definite future is produced by adding o to the end of the root, indefinite future is produced by adding -i to the end of the root.

In conditional tense the relevant tense ending is added upon the future tense -o.

In future perfect tense (I will have...) the future ending is placed as a standalone word before the verb with the perfect tense ending.

In progressive form, -þa is placed at the beginning of the root. This is only used in the present tense though.

Imperative is produced by adding the present tense vowel plus an l to the end of the root.

In passive form and s is added to the end of the verb.

The present participle is made by adding akþ/arkþ pl. akþa/arkþa to the end of the root.

The past participle is made by adding akk/ark pl. akka/arka to the end of the root.

Syntax
The syntax is relatively free, but conventionally identical to Swedish, Norwegian, or Danish syntax— SVO.
