Syntax

Question Particles

In High-Fomorian, questions and answers are usually given with a particle in front of the conjugated verb, as well as eclipsing the verb. This is how you would use this grammatical feature.

 
Positive questionCauses the verb to undergo Eclipsis following the particle: anˠ
an Öchaíonn
ann nöchaíonn
/anˠ ˌnˠøːxaˈiːɔnˠ/ [anˠ nˠøːˈxiːnˠ] generic question particle
Negative questionCauses the verb to undergo Eclipsis following the particle: nˠax
nach Öchaíonn
nach nöchaíonn
/nˠax nˠøːˌxaiːˈɔnˠ/ [nˠax nˠøːˈxiːnˠ] negative question particle
Negative statementCauses the verb to undergo Lenition following the particle: niː
ní öchaíonn
ní öchaíonn
/niː øːˌxaiːˈɔnˠ/ [niː øːˈxiːnˠ] negative verb particle
 

Examples

Negative Question

nach nírín thídh

nach nírín thídh

curse_(hex)-SG.2.PRS:V-NEG.Q:V 2.SG.F.ACC:PRON

“Are you cursed?”


Negative Statement

ní mhdöraíonn euer

ní mhdöraíonn euer

help-PL.3.:PRS:V-NEG.S:V 3.PL.M.ACC:PRON

“They are not helping.”


Standard Question

This is similar to using the 'no' in Spanish or 'non' in French. The simple particle is used to negate an entire action.

ann Génítíst dáidh

ann ngénítíst dáidh

do:v-SG.2.PST:V-POS.Q 2.SG.NT.ACC:PRON

Pronouns

Pronouns in High-Fomorian are highly genderized in order to account for the individuals identities. Like English, they have similar pronouns for each case, with the exception of English, however, they have an additional case. The cases are the same as German cases.
