While most words of all classes are stressed on the penultimate syllable, I'm allowing for nouns and adjectives to be stressed on the ultima and the penultimate syllable. I decided to modify my orthography and declension rules to account for the changes.
Spelling: If the vowel normally does not have a diacritical mark, it receives an acute accent: a > á If the vowel normally has a circumflex accent, it exchanged it for a grave accent: â > à If the vowel normally has a diaeresis, the vowel is written twice: ä > ää If the vowel is part of the diphthong, the non-high vowel (i.e, not <i/u>) receives the accent mark: ai > ái Declensions and stress types: Most nouns and adjectives are stressed on the penultimate syllable in all forms. The stress shifts to always fall on the penultimate syllable when suffixes are added for declension. Some nouns and adjectives are stressed on the ultima, or last syllable. The stress shifts to always fall on the last syllable, even when syllables are added. Other nouns and adjectives are stressed on the antepenultimate syllable. As suffixes are added, stress shifts to maintain the stress on the antepenultimate syllable. After a significant period with out much work on Shonkasika (too much going with my job and other life), I have added an additional adjective class to the language. It is a basically a catch-all for adjectives that don't inflect for all six genders present in the conlang:
Some new Shonkasika words:
meravinye n. piece of land, plot (land) nixa n. ground ketanu v. split smadenu v. wipe vusonu v. sew lostinu v. swell meizhanuz v. freeze hirvenu v. rot hirveste adj. rotten qame adj. smooth I made some changes to Shonkasika. I changed the case endings for the vocative case for animate nouns, and then the nominative, vocative, and accusative cases for inanimate nouns. I also added a dual number to all nouns. First we have an animate example (common gender), and then an inanimate example (neuter gender). I split the personal endings to four sets based on whether the tense is past vs. non-past and whether the voice is active vs. mediopassive. Finally, I created an aorist suffix to form two new verb tenses: the aorist and the past habitual.
I'm thinking I may add another way to pluralize some irregular nouns. I think I few nouns in -îk will form their plurals in -urîk. I haven't decided yet if there will be a particular type of -îk nouns will be more prone to this type of plural ending.
I will add one word to this category for now: raikîk (formally raikuk), "wine". |
