Grammar

Lusom has five vowels, 21 consonants, and 12 accented letters. It is slightly fusional, referring to these instances as Evolution Words. It uses a SOV order and has an accusative morphosyntactic alignment.

This language has three genders (masculine, feminine and neutral), two numbers (singular and plural) and four cases (nominative, genitive, accusative and lative).

Any preposition or other word follows the verb and goes at the end of a sentence.

Evolution Word/Fusional:

In Lusom, certain words can change their meanings by adding affixes. These are deemed 'Evolution Words'. All Evolutionary Words revolve around one central word, like forinstance: Lovahn (Yummy), Cali (Wise) or Sark (Leader).

The Evolutionary Words are split into two categories:

1: Prefixes/Suffixes/Modifiing

2: Adding other words near by

Ex: Lovahn means yummy, but av lovahn means feelings.  Here the meaning changes by adding other words nearby

Ex: Cali means wise, but deucali means cultured. Here Prefixes change the meaning

Ex: Sark means leader/ruler, but sactrov means king. Here a combination of Suffixes and Modifying changes the meaning

Emplor Words:

There are 3 tenses (present, past, and future). These tenses are marked by Tán (past), Táss (present) and the lack of a word for future; which follows the object in SOV, if one in grammar. Tenses, though, are only marked by physical actions, not by feelings or anything else. Ex: I love you is Ich ho'o lavare, not Ich ho'o táss lavare.

If there is no object, then the Emplor Words follows the subject. Though the markings of tenses are normally avoided in songs and others of the likewise, as songs are believed to be infinite and not restricted to time. Though if marked, it is to put emphasis on a time.

Nouns:

Noun placement in Lusom follows the SOV format. Normally, unless location is used, the subject goes in the beginning of a sentence, the and immediate adjectives object follows. After this the Emplor(tense word) follows before the verb.

In Lusom definiteness is usually marked by the selection of determiner. Certain determiners, such as a/an, many, any, either, and some typically mark an NP as indefinite. Others, including the, this, every, and both mark the NP as definite.

Verbs:

Verb placement in Lusom follows the SOV format. Normally, unless an Emplor is used, the verb always follows behind the object. The ordering of verbs behind one another follows exactly as how it would be in English.

The only exception to this is when a demand is being made. Ex: Put it on the shelf - Patt ak lási tuuk an, not Ak lási patt tuuk an

Example text

First verse from Frozen: Let It Go

English: Let It Go	Lusomnin: Ak Libitⱥr
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight, Not a footprint to be seen, A kingdom of isolation, And it looks like I'm the queen, The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside, Couldn't keep it in; Heaven knows I've tried.	An sva môntis šonaes wruto nuniš tuuk, Feldprentaes nilkorov nu eku, Çiynon na aɪ̯sólaten, Áchea Ich savtov siija nu eku, Avsada, an vam terbin ofnos hôlenor luokii, Av nilgatischt deev; Hiilhem Ich illmor tentaklo.

The Lords Prayer:

English:	Lusomnin:
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be Your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, On earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our debts, As we also have forgiven our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory forevermore. Amen.	Ler Farso av Hiilhem, Ho’ohem̄ neamod hállo, Ho'ohem̄ çiynon dano, Ho'ohem̄ wusk nilo, Tuuk Earth, karo mo Hiilhem. Utet duuv bleovo ler zer, Áchea kolama ler zernuskes, Mo poii ler zernuskna broo. Áchea utet versii nilsauk anue, Koot utet vookul tavot loo. Kul Ho'ohem̄ çiynon os an, an vuu áchea an zinero luralgryf. Ⱥmen.
