Atlalpi

This is Atlalpi (Age of TLA Language Parallel Instance), an a-priori developed conlang which is intended to provide the grammar structure used in Thrilettrabbrian. For practical purposes the words of Atlalpi are chosen at random, without any respect to the international vocabulary.

Cases
Following a case grammar model more than five cases are seldomly needed. The language could be ergative-absolutive, or nominative-accusative, I here assert nominative-accusative because they're most frequent. I also assert SOV language because they're most frequent.

So I assert the following cases: Sociative is not used, instead "and" is used to express duplicate subjects/objects etc..

The genitive fulfills certain adjectival functions, that I leave aside for now.

Numbers
Since it seems most common to have two grammatical numbers singular and plural, I assert those numbers for now. Numbers are not confused with aggregate derivations as used in Ithkuil.

Topic marking
Words are considered determined by default, i.e. the determined form is uninflected relative undetermined and demonstrative forms, and in general words aren't introduced in a speach context without an initial indetermined or extensively specified occurrence. The one exception is where the culture defines a default individual, f.ex. a king over a certain country, may in that country initially be mentioned in the determined form, the ("default") sun may in the relevant solar system initially be mentioned in the determined form.

Personal Pronouns
1-4p, for plural inclusive and exclusive forms are needed, which instead implies that collective derivations as per Ithkuil should be combined with duplicate inclusive/exclusive plural ...

Relatives
Instead of the primitive apparatus of which/who/whome at one hand, and conjunction markers on the other hand, Atlalpi combines those two systems in an ortogonal system for inter-clause references.
