Pronouns - Lusom Language

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.

Noise Words:[]

In Lusom, much like in Talossan, certain words are deemed as such: "Noise Words" and are normally forgotten and understood in sentence practice.

Three words as such are A, I and To.

Normally I is included in sentence as it signifies first-person singular nominative. But, as in most, if not all other languages in the world the I is understood, yes English is a very special language. A grammatical non-usage of the word would be for when signifying that something is not something or that something will not do something; though this rule will be explained later.

  • The Ich, I, is replaced with the prefix nil-

A's are often avoided as they add another word to the language that could simply be understood without it. There for, A is normally avoided. It is not considered wrong to say it though, as it is easier for native English speakers. But it is normally used to put emphasis on a noun. So, A dog is simply Ker not Ae Ker.

To is disregarded especially before a verb to declutter sentences and pronunciations. Though, if you want to put emphasis on a verb then you would keep the to and put a heavy emphasis on it.

Ex: Without emphasis - "I want to know" is "Ich illmor vers" not "Ich vers nu illmor"

With emphasis - "I want to know" is "Ich nu illmor vers"

Nouns:[]

Noun placement in Lusom follows the SOV, Subject Object Verb format. Normally, unless a physical location is mentioned, the subject goes in the beginning of a sentence, after the and immediate adjectives if there are any.

In Lusom definiteness is usually marked by the selection of determiner. Certain determiners, such as 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.

Nil-:[]

When you want to say that something is not, or that you are not going to do something, you signify this by adding the prefix Nil- to the word. You remove the I from the beginning of the sentence as it becomes understood. But for when the subject is not in the first person you do signify this by simply stating what the subject is before the prefix.

Ex: Nilcaem = I can't

Nilluokii = I Don't Like

Ex: Kyeh nilluokii = He doesn't like

Ak nilcaem = It can't

Name Combination and -is:[]

When a title is given to something, every word is combined. For instance, the cultured ones becomes Deucalion (deucali-on or cultured one(s)) instead of On deucali. Or Long Nose is Lanknal (lan-knal).

Perhaps the opposite of nil-, -is is put on the end of a word if it is a title that promotes its subject. For instance: Deucalion, since it promotes a group of people, become Deucalionis.

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 goes before the verb in SOV. 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.

Difference Between Sólanto and Ul:[]

Sólanto and Ul can be used both to represent the word all. The main difference is Ul is a direct translation from English, and Sólanto means more all as one. Sólanto also means therefore, at all and once when.

Example text[]

One Son, A Father

English:

Lusomnin:
It was a tale of fates,

One son, a father,

A fight would bring them together.

-

When the son was young,

He was lost,

Taken he was.

-

On the battlefield,

Stood the two men,

One son, a father.

-

When the two armies clashed,

Blood covered the shields,

The two finally met.

-

Without recognition they fought,

One swing after another,

No mercy was held.

-

Finally, one was struck,

On the ground, one man stood over him,

One son, a father.

-

A man pleaded, his helmet off,

For his son soon realized,

And the fighting done.

Sto-tra na feldonaes ak wutt,

Zepon arlin, ae farso,

Risos nuvoth, vaatos vanto eti.

-

Mosoaf an arlin wutt laar,

Rust wutt kyeh,

Taav wutt kyeh.

-

Av an buddrofelk,

An unei mov tund,

Zepon arlin, ae farso.

-

Mosoaf an unei edryes xalen,

Blut an hiediles cxob,

An unei genoro ucra.

-

Seana vaatos nilvaid etkorvanaecon,

Zepon ásuvg eder eslar,

Naught miloste wutt hela.

-

An gaamin tuuk, olu kwo tund zepon mav,

Zepon arlin, ae farso.

-

Mav dulno, kyehniv janomt uljo,

Kyehniv arlin kul ahnon mulii,

Áchea an vaanor nilo.

First verse from Frozen: Let It Go

English: Let It Go Lusomnin: Ak Las Abrito
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 tuuk an môntis šonaes wruto nuniš,

Feldprentaes nilkorav,

Çiynon na aɪ̯sólaten,

Áchea ak siija Ichen an savtov,

Avsada, an vam os háulnor luokii an terbin ofnos,

Nilgatischt deev av;

Hiilhem illmor Ich tenta.

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.

Av Hiilhem ler̄ Farso,

Hállo eku Ho’ohem̄ neamod,

Ho'ohem̄ çiynon abrito,

Ho'ohem̄ wusk nilo,

Tuuk Earth, Hiilhem karo mo.

Utet ler̄ duuv bleovo zer,

Áchea kolama ler̄ zernuskes,

Mo poii ler̄ zernusker broo tán kolamav.

Áchea utet anutemptaecon nilsauk,

Koot utet vookul tavot loo.

Kul Ho'ohem̄ an çiynon, an vuu áchea an zinero luralgryf.

Lullaby: Sits The Clouds - Sabes Kis An

English: Lusomnin:
On mountains,

High above,

Sits the clouds,

And their dreams.

-

Up high,

Sits the clouds,

Looking down,

Hanging over you.

-

By the winds,

They move fast,

They turn black,

And cry.

-

But high above,

They see the sad people,

And they feel happy,

For those who can't.

Môntis tuuk,

Hek otuk,

Sabes kis an,

Áchea raasos kraunaes.

-

Ep hek,

Sabes kis an,

Fovn riknor,

Huágar̃ olu ho'o.

-

An vams eku,

Seana nust fess,

Raasos trávga drok,

Áchea krávg.

-

Koot hek otuk,

Seana bronte panol korav,

Áchea seana abuncaa av lovahn,

Kul ontehnos rha nilcaem.
