From
this basic chart, all other constructs concerning verbs and nouns are created.
For
example, we have the Gerund case, which is the mere inclusion of the construct “n”
and “d” between the affected verb and the grammatical person ending. The Gerund
form of the verb “d”, often listed in its third-person singular form “dath”,
would thus have an “n” and “d” construct between its consonant, “d”, and
whatever number and grammatical person marker are specified. If extrapolated
through the various possible combinations of number and grammatical person, the
Gerund form of “d” would look like the following:
To be doing – Danid

As
you can see, there is not much use writing out full tables of such constructs,
because they follow the forms in the first chart. Instead, one can readily
formulate what constructs will look like by logically inserting the altering
element and then adjusting the ending in accordance with person and number, shown
in the first table.
It is
interesting to note that the joint “n” and “d” construct illustrates the
proto-form of the Indo-European participle, seen in modern forms as the German
“nd” and the Latin “nt”. In the reconstruction, the “n” and “d” construct
denotes a specific instance of the action in question, being performed in the
instance referred to by the speaker. This does not imply that the action is
either finite or infinite, only that it is current. This illustration of a
proto-form serves the hypothesis that the Indo-European participle was in fact
a merger of two roots, “n” and “d”, which became purely phonemic during the
late development of the PIE language and lost its outside context, that is, its
context outside of its inclusion as a participle marker. In its proto-form, the
elements “n” and “d” still retained their previous meanings, “n” being the
accusatory or otherwise dynamically dative marker (marking something like the
English words “to”, “towards”, “at”, “in”, “into”), and “d” being the marker
for the verb-idea “to do” as seen above in its extrapolation. One could
therefore postulate that if the construct were to undergo the later
developments of the PIE language, the previous chart would become something
like this:

It is
easily seen why a people would have simply omitted the sound, what may be
conceived of as a thematic vowel, for its unnecessary presence in deciphering
the meaning of the element, in turn rendering a new root or construct. But it
shows the first advances towards a linguistic development based on reduction
and phonemic elements, which may lack meaning when not adjoined to a secondary
root, rather than from semantic roots, and therefore this reconstruction will
try to be faithful in rendering these kinds of vowels. It is possible to
pronounce them very unemphatically, thereby removing much of the extra stress
that their inclusion gives pronunciation.
These
forms, however, are only those which mark the existence of a being that
typifies or manifests these actions. In modern grammar this is equivalent to
the grammatical person, but in the grammar of the reconstruction it means
something much more essential. These are literally called “existential
markers”, because they do not so much mark a relative “who” for the verb’s
perpitrator, but actually mark the existence of whatever the verb of predicate
is manifested through. One could therefore say that the grammatical person is
the most important element in the reconstruction, and that all other elements
are merely describors for it. “Me” literally means the speaker or observer,
“Te” means anything being addressed, and “The” means anything else outside of
the observer. These listed constructs denote the respective being susbisting in
the present time of the constructs’ expression. A perfective form, which does
not restrict its meaning to the present instance in time, renders them as “M”,
“T”, and “Th”, which are hardly pronounceable on their own, and which have no
need to be, because to express them by themselves does not mean anything more
than stating them, without any other meaning. However, when they are appended
with descriptors, they suddenly state not only the existence of the being in
question, but such a being that does so-and-so as the descriptors announce. For
example, to say “dam” is to literally state the existence of an “I” that
“does”, and therefore means “I do”. However, this existential affirmation of
the “I” denotes a more typical nature of the “I”, as in denoting that the “I”
does something over a period of time, most like when the English speaker says
“I do this and that, and sometimes I do nothing”. It is not so much a statement
of the present, but a statement of general being, describing some facet of the
self by expressing the existential marker “I” with an appended descriptor. This
process works with the mose causally affected element going first, with the
ultimate origin being last, which in this case is the “I”, while the element
that is “affected” by the “I” is the idea of “doing”, which the “I” performs or
puts into action. It is therefore used in the reconstruction not only as a
statement of a general nature of being, but also as a statement of a general
action that was performed in the past, and stated for the purposes of implying
an instance after which the rest of the clauses or story follow in cause and
effect. Various other practices are used to mark concrete instances of past and
future, what in Latin and English would be called the “imperfective” as opposed
to the “perfective”, and these will be gone over later, irrelevant as they are
for this elementary section.
In
order to denote an instance in the present, the three existential markers take
on their forms as things subsisting in the present instance of the constructs’
expression, “Me”, “Te”, and “The”. Therefore, to say “dame” is to literally
affirm the existence of a presently subsisting “I” that puts into affect from
itself whatever descriptors are appended. In English, this tense would be
equivalent to the one used in phrases like “I’m making a sandwitch” or “I’m
going home”.
When
it comes to number, the existential marker for the plural first person is
usually marked with an “e” or “i” between itself and its describers: however,
by itself, and sometimes when being described, it defines itself as an “I” that
belongs to or is affected by an outer being, giving rise to the construct of
adjoining “m” and “d”, which appears as “mith”, for plural, and “meth”, for
dual. Notice that, while it does in fact quantify the self as being part of
many, it also describes the dual and plural first person forms of the verb listed
as “math”, which means “thinks”, “wills”, or “feels”. Just as the verb “d”,
itself being identical to the existential marker “Th”, takes on the verbal form
“dath”, meaning “it does”, the existential marker “M” takes on the verbal form
“math”, signifying the expression of the “I” or the observer within an outside
object. When used with itself, “mam” could very well mean the same thing as
purely stating “M”, denoting the self’s or the observer’s internal process.
Because the end of the clause is what is given the most emphasis and causal
importance, the “m” included in this verb does not actually refer to the
speaker when it is expressed, but to the “I” of the outside being that is
described. In this sense, “m” comes to denote all internal psychological activity,
pertaining to the mind, feeling, willing, and so on. Because no describor is
posited between the two existential markers, “m” is allowed to hold a
subordinate meaning to the described being, no longer referring to the speaker.
The same is true for the marker “th”, which takes the form “d” when it takes
this subordinate role, which allows phrases like “dam”, as well as the
seemingly redundant “dath”, redundant only in the sense that we now know “th”
and “d” are practically identical. Is is their order as descriptors and
described beings that alter their meaning, as well as the definition of the
relationship between them.
The
two words “math” and “dam” could, therefore, be conceived of as existential
reciprocals. As said before, as there is no descriptor defined between the two
markers, there seems to be a “pure” connection between the two, between the “I”
and the “outside” or the “observer” and the “world”. With “dam”, it is the
observer which affects the outside, logically prescribing the relative
causation in order from “m” to “d”. With “math”, conversely, it is the outside
that affects the observer, prescribing causation from “d” to “m”. One could
also say, because of the subordinating quality described in the last paragraph,
that in “math” is actually just an internal process completely, and that it is
the self that keeps affecting the observer, as implied in “mam”, and is just
extended in meaning to an outside being. One could say that “dath”, then, is in
fact just the outside world affecting itself, but that does not account for the
fact that there might be different instances of “d” in the external world,
rather than just referring to the whole of it as one things, as individual
things are sought to be referred to. Therefore “dath”, in most cases, continues
to mean one thing affecting another, because “th” refers to any instance
outside of the obersver, while “mam” can more easily mean the observer
affecting him or herself, because, in the philosophy of the reconstruction,
there is only one “observer” or “I” for every speaker. Any extension of “I” is
formed through the previously discussed plural forms, and this stands
regardless of whether the “I” is subordinate or superior in causal or
categorical relationship to the outside mass referred to.
**Note
that “to be doing” does not have the same implications in the reconstruction as
it does within the English language, within which this phrase is frequently
used to verbally describe a continuous, current action. This semantic meaning
is expressed through another construct in the reconstruction. “Danidath” means,
literally, “doing”, and is used more for an adjectical purpose such as a participle.
Its use as part of a verbal construct, such as in English “I am doing”, is only
valid when the action in question is an instance within a continuum, and when
the emphasis is placed either on what in English would be the “auxilliary”
verb, such as the “am” in “I am doing”, or on the object, whatever is being
affected by the verb.
Past
Tense Marker “D”
The
consonant “d” and its extrapolated, “existential-marked” forms are also used as
a marker for the simple past tense, which is expressed solely because it is
more concrete than the existential statements “M”, “T”, and “Th” in expressing
a specifically single instance of the past. Instead, “d” along with the
“existential” tenses like “M” denote that the actor in question is in a state
of having “done” whatever the describor is, and since “doing”, in the sense of
“d”, an action can usually only be done once and not continuously, it lends the
meaning of having fixed an instance of that action in the past.
This
method of marking the instance of an action in the past is only used with verbs
that are otherwise not usually expressed in what are noun-like forms. For
example, “m” paired with the consonant “d” already gives rise to the word
“Modath”, meaning “that which is thought” or “thought”, and so it cannot really
use the “d” to mark a simple past instance the way that it can with other
words. However, one may use the Gerund form of a word to express the past
tense, albeit in a continuous and most likely interrupted or “subjunctive”
form, still keeping the ending consonant plain and unaltered.
Preceding
word, like veri, is actually significant of the action itself, such as that
veridath is “that which fixes that action or its protuct/effect to reality, or
makes it real”, therefore veri takes the role of a verbal object. Planidath,
then… Plantath, I mean. Is Skau the right word? Or is it just truly Skaun? or Skauan?
Future
Tense Marker “B”
On
the other hand, the use of “b” in the same way denotes the future tense of an
action. It literally means “becoming” or “growing”, and implies that the actor
is in the state of performing the mentioned action when the actor has “become”
into its performing state. The use of the concept “become” to imply the future
tense is not foreign to European languages, as many languages still use it. For
example, “werden” means both the auxilliary particle “will” or “shall” as well
as “to become” in German. “B” was used in the same way in the PIE language, as
in the attested root “bhu”, and its descendent in the Latin element “b” as in “portabo”,
meaning “I will carry”, from “porto”, meaning “I carry”.
Phonetic
Evolution
A
variety of sound changes stylize the PIE roots into the words listed here, and
some history should be given to account for why things are the way they are.
For example, the Dual form was originally fitted with the ending “ai”, instead
of “e” followed by whatever grammatical person marker is specified. Secondly,
the Plural form for the grammatical first person first followed the
prescriptions of the current PIE attestations, that is, the form “emos”, which
in the style of the reconstruction would be rendered as “amith”. This is still
a viable option to use, as it conveys the same thing, but in the spirit of the
reconstruction the double instance of a grammatical person marker comes across
as being erroneous or redundant, if not only for the sake of a Plural marker.
If this was the way that the PIE people pluralized the grammatical first and
second person, as the attestation “estos” also says, then perhaps it is the
right way after all. There is another possibility that the PIE people lost the
single instance First and Second Person Plural endings and resorted to using
this double instance, and we say this because the attestations of nouns still
retain a single instance Plural ending, while verbs do not.
Passive
Voice Marker “N”
As
mentioned in the section explaning the uses of “d” for the past tense, there is
a class of words where the “d” is given precidence for use as a sort of passive
word marker. Consider “Modath”, “that which is thought”, and “Kelidath”,
“things to be cut”.
[Insert]
This
construct does not actually make the “passive voice”, per se, but denotes the
object or thing that actually receives the foremost of the effects from the
action, which in turn can be used in the manner of the passive voice. However,
the consonant “n” is what truly makes the passive voice. Etymologically it is
cognate to the Latin ending –inus, the Germanic ending –inaz (whence English
flaxen, wooden), as well as the general accusative marker “-om”, and its
prepositional form “an”. It therefore has many opportunities for specific
application. The consonant “n” is given, first of all, precedence as a
preposition-like marker, marking that the action described is directed at or
towards it, which can have a different meaning from the action affecting it. An
example is the verb “Lei”, meaning “to pour”, where the direct object (appended
to the verb) will mean whatever is poured while the indirect object (occupying
a place before the verb, or another place in the sentence) is whatever is being
poured upon. In this way, the traditional accusative marker of PIE is given the
inverse meaning of the dative case, while compounded objects are given the
direct accusative case. However, some verbs do not differentiate between the
two, for which “n” marks a locative kind of case. If even location is
irrelevant to the verb, then it simply arbitrarily marks the object.
When
“n” is appended between a root and its ending, it brings it into the passive
voice of having been affected. For example, “Leinath” would mean “poured
(thing)”. This practice is different from the above separation of the indirect
object from its affecting construct, in the fact that in that case the
separated part does not receive another ending, merely ending in “n”.
Passive-voiced words always receive their customary existential ending, because
they are not being separated in the same manner (as they are actually sovereign
constructions surrounding an analogous creature). Examples that were featured
in the early version of this paper were “Madurath Audanath”, or “perceived
mother”, and “Madurath Stelanath”, meaning “stood/placed/settled mother”. The
example “Madurath Stelidath” means “Mother who is stood”, meaning essentially
the same thing, though a bit ambiguous as to who is the affector or the
affected. One infers only through the absence of any accusative object that it
is herself that the mother places (if she is the affector at all). One can see
its cognate in the word “stolid”, meaning “immovable”.
As
one has seen before, the “n” when paired with “d” switches the described being
back to the status of the affector. This construct actually describes an
instance of that action, without any inference as to its continuous or
discontinuous nature or anything outside of that moment, which the described
being manifests as. As a chart, an example of all three of these constructs
when used would look like the following:
M
|
To
feel
|
|
“d”
|
Med
|
What
is felt
|
“n”
|
Men
|
To
be felt
|
“n”
“d”
|
Menid
|
To
be feeling
|
“N”
is used to denote the infinitive of a verb when such an action is made. For
example, “audaniame” means “I’m going to see”, from the verb “Aud”, meaning
“see”, and “Iame”, meaning “I’m going or I initiating”. As described before,
one may separate the two, rendering the same sentence as “Iame audan”.
The
Continuous Quintessential Action Marker “R”
Just
as “n” and “d” mark the instance of an action, “r” marks the continuous
performance of that action, due to the nature of the described being. This “r”
takes on the vocalic allophone quality, becoming a vowel-like sound, and is
usually appended in the typographical form “ur” to express this. An example of
this comes from the root that means wet, “wed”, and that is “wodur”, meaning
“the thing whose nature it is to be wet”. Otherwise known as water. Another
example comes from “steranidurath”, meaning “strander” or “one whose nature it
is to statically stretch”, which is used to refer to any stretch of land as one
finds along the ocean or a shore or bank, while its other form “steranidath”
can mean any stretch of land or material.
Several
important words are marked with “r”, and mostly in conjunction with “d” which
takes the lead. The “d” and “r” construct is cognate with the Latin ending
“-ter” or “-tor”, and with the English ending “-er”. “Madurath” and “Padurath”
are mother and father. “Asidurath” is star, or “one whose nature it is to burn
or glow”. That being said, the assignment of these names to these objects is
not exclusive, and, for example, the term “Asidurath” could be applied to an
ember or spark as well.
The
Potential Marker “K”
The
Shadow Marker “Sk”
Endings:
Iskath Characteristic of, typical of, pertaining to,
belonging to; beginning to, entering
Ikath in the manner of, pertaining to; being,
having, doing (of a verb or nature)
Implications
of Causal Word Order
As we
put actions to affect starting with the self to the outside, explanation or
communication is a reversal of this process, beginning with explanation of the
least familiar elements to the most familiar, which can be guessed.
Word
order is built on the logical succession of causality, beginning with the most
causally affected to the least, which is presumed to be important in the
sentence. If not, then the passive voice is used. In this way, what develops is
an Object-Verb-Subject word order, a kind of word order that is very rare in
natural languages. However, the evolution of PIE into its daughter languages
shows the general shift from postpositions to prepositions, and the ultimate
status of the daughter languages as Subject-Verb-Object languages, which we
knew were not so in previous times, as attested in ancient Indo-European
languages, which were usually Subject-Object-Verb. This reconstruction takes
that one step further in hypothesizing a total reversal of the modern word
order, revealed by the presence of the existential marker as the very last
element in the SOV order.
This
is not actually such a radical idea, as we see the OVS order in Latin many
times, albeit hidden. Consider the clause “Puellam amo”. The mention of the
subject as a separate word is unnecessary because we know that it is the
speaker, from the speaker’s existential marker “o”. We therefore achieve the
following gloss, “Girl – love – I”. Therefore, knowing that the nature of the
existential-marked being can be described through appending various elements,
we know that the first person marker is only a step away from becoming a more
described word occupying the end of a sentence. Therefore what word is affected
by the verb, or the object, is placed before and appended to the verb. The verb
is appended before the subject, which occupies the last place in the sentence.
As an example, “Eivirith” would mean “men are”, coming from “Virith” meaning
“men” and “Ei” meaning the action “to be”. However, the copula is not very
active in the reconstruction, since the existential marker takes care of this
purpose (and therefore occupies always the last place of a word).
You
would not use sverath and sveridath in the same sentence, as in “to swing a
sword” – you would simply refer to the sword cutting the person, and not
“cutting the person with a sword”. The “sveridath” is seen as a manifestation
of the person’s will, and one could even use “sverath” for lunging any object,
and sveridath itself for lunging such a thing at a person. One could even use
sveridath, in reference to what is being lunged, and sveridam, to show one’s
ownership over the direction of the weapon. This would also exemplify the dual
noun-verb form that it has.
Reganidath
– straightening, ordering; Reganath – to calculate???, no, the ordered
Regath
– to straighten, righten, mostly oneself; rule, king (regidur – “rector”,
king), also regant, reganidath
Regidath
– straightened, upright, adjective, to be ruled, straightened
An
example for how the existential statement is significant of both the described
being and its action, the following dialog has been produced. Two speaker walk
up to a balcony and, seeing a man in great robes on a far off parapet, one of
them points and asks, while the other one answers him.
Regath
ka?
A, regath omnilanidas.
A, regath omnilanidas.
Which
means,
Is he
the king?
Yes, the king of all the land.
Yes, the king of all the land.
Or
He’s
ruling?
Yes,
he rules all the land.
Eurodasian
converts these two iterations to one sentence.
Compounds with “Vir”
Regivirath
– the man rules; the ruling man.
Sveridovir
– swordsman
Vlkivir
– Werewolf
Note
that “vlk” is used as a describor or affected because the term describes,
chiefly a form of man, because the speaker himself is most likely a man as
well. If a wolf were to use this term, conversely, they would probably say
“virivlk”, holding the “vlk” in precidence, to which “vir” is just an affected
description.
Use of Consonant Roots as Preposition-like Postpositions
Path
also used as *Hepo, “Up, away from”, from PIE – as suffix. So Vodurapath, -a-
is used to signify similarity with –an, but –ap, with the proper ending, -ath,
which consequently is –path, which even then is the correct one to use, as it
is not the water that enacts “path”, but a yet-unnamed thing which, enacting
“path”, causes “path” to be enacted on the water, which means to pan from the
water. Yes, so “vodurapath” would mean “from, of, or away from the water”. “Voduriperath”
would mean “before the water”. “Vodurigath” would mean “from or out of the
water”, literally meaning “it leaves the water”, ascendant of Latin “ex”. “Vodurinidath”
means “under the water”. Nidath – being underneath. Aukedapath – from the
visor, from behind the visor. Aukediniath, meaning the same thing, but behind,
explicitly.

Maybe…
there’s not even a need for a definite –an accusative case. Base dat/ab off of
this!
One Example of how Word Order would work:
Te
Kelisveridobam – I will kill you with a sword.
Literally,
this is:
“You
– cut down – with a sword – I”
Marking
the flow of causality, this is:
“I –
act on sword – acts on cutting – acts on you”
The chain of causal relationship runs in reverse, with the ending “effected” thing at the head of the sentence, with the ultimate cause stated at the end. This follows the order of basic Latin constructions (e.g. Puellam amat, Gladium habeo). The Accusative –an that was devised at the beginning is not even necessary for this. Note that not even the Instrumental case, which would have been necessary, is not even by this point. It follows the direct chain of causation from the speaker to the audience.
Now let’s
try, using the instrumental case:
“Te
sverida kelibam.”
It is
almost the exact same. The only difference is that the word order can be
changed, for example, “Te kelibam sverida”, or “Sverida te kelibam”, but this
has little reason for being used at all. If we sacrifice free word-order, then
there are no ambiguities. It is simply a chain from the affected to the
affector. This mode of word-order is just a gigantic compound-maker.
Tekelibam, Tekelisveridam!
Sveridalath. Maybe it is dependent on
instrumental case. I let using a sword. ? \/
Astoran,
Asiduran, dekiteran dian veram. Monith rodith velidith, erai terai teridan,
Ishtar,
star, daughter of Deus invoke I. Moons red chosen, the two worlds turn to
thread.
In
this case, the –an formation only has usage for talking about the action
itself, and its infinitive in conjunction with another verb – which leads us to
the belief that –an really just symbolizes that effect of causation or creation
as in pelinath, from pelath. What is the
significance of Nath then? It is also the key to the –ntath- gerund-construct,
devolving from –nidath.
Nuances of Meaning in relation to Tense
Stranidi
hasidurithan audam – I saw the stars stretching. (OR: I saw the stretching
stars.) My god…
The
above phrase can mean both things, and does not differentiate between them.
Below, however, the exact action is specified:
Stranidithan
Hasidurithan audam – I saw the stretching stars; “Stars” is emphasized.
Stranidan
Hasidurithan audam – I saw the stars stretching; “Stretching” is emphasized.
Strani
Hasidurithan audam – I saw the stars stretch; “Stretch” is emphasized.

rather be:

Hasiduraina audam?
Stranidi
Hasidurin audam, or Stranidi Hasiduri audam
Yes,
it can be Hasidurithan, but only because it is plural, and this is not a
favorable construct.

is on the Date in Quadate. In Latin:
Canis,
quid facis? Canis, quid facientis?
An
gemi blaulaukathe. Blue light comes in.
This
literally defines the object by what is seen as most important, “ath”, stating
its relation to the speaker – a thing in the objective outside world. “Athe” is
the present tense of being. Next, it is defined as a “blue light”, therefore a
thing that acts as blue light. Then “comes”, so a thing of blue-light that
comes, then finally “in”. So a blue light comes in.
Quon,
quadate? This is the present instance-tense. What dost thou? Quon, quadat? Dog,
what do you (usually) do? Can mean past tense, but also a continuous or stative
tense (what one normally does). Quon, quadodat? Is strict past-tense.
Notice
the –ni- in Quadanidate? Qua – da – ni – da – te? Ni is the dative, towards-ive.
Qui –
towards what – therefore why
Donath.
It is done. Dekidanath. ---???
Inkelath/Inklauth
– include Surikedath
Regiaperath,
Regi…for umbrella? Rain-stopper? Rain-from-coverer? Regigiakedath.
Variations
on the word Ausikath
This
word is meant to mirror the construct “Ushaka”, which is “ear” plus a
diminutive-instrumental suffix. “Ausikath” is the basic word. “Ausilath”
mirrors it better as “tiny ears”, which can be ambiguous, but Ausileth provides
the correct number. Auselath is just incorrect, but sounds cute.

of being, or the utterly irreversible notion of the fact, in its reference both
to the self and the universal will.
General Rules for the Retention of the Language’s Development
1.
Diminutive developments, such as –lo- and later –ulus, are strictly forbidden.
This
is because this feature did not originally mean “small” or “diminutive”,
according to this interpretation, having meant only “descended from” or “in the
likeness of” which was applied only to names of living things, such as people,
and rarely animals. It was never used for any other kind until a very late
point in the pie-language, which this reconstruction hopes to “predate” in
terms of the general spirit and psychological style of the language, markedly
one that did not yet have use or demand for the notion of the “diminutive”
object. Kath and Skath are the only similar endings that are allowed for the
purposes of the language.
It
has become clear that there is not simply an “object” end for the word, but a
two-fold affected-route, being –I and then –AN, the dative ending.
Words for “Shadow”
Skath shade, shadow, form;
Skedath result of a shadow,
outline, contour, area under a shadow, what is shadowed
Skaudath
Skaudikath
– umbrella, device for providing shade, against either rain or sun;
Could it perhaps also be
Skaukath (sky-device) and Skaukedath (sky-cover)?
Skaukedath (lit. covers
the sky) could either be the firmament itself or a roof.
Skaukath, however, has a
close similarity with Skaudikath.
We
must still find a suitable word for umbrella, “rain-stopper”, and similarly
“sun-stopper”.
-Gath to go and do something. Ex, “Swananigath”, He
went and sang; He went to sing.
Computer Notation:
Menikath
“thought-thing”
device for thinking, any material for expression, as a medium; recorder
Mekath
– “feel thing”, no… Memonikath, “memory thing”, no… something for memories, but
also processing? Ordering? A data-processing interface?
Thought-alteration-interface? Truly, it is a recorder then. But also an
orderer. Regikath? Mekinath?
Svenurath
Speaker, “mouth”, either
biologically or figuratively, where sound comes out.
Svenikath – equal, vocal cords, or
speaker, sound-generator, or instrument?
As a
native English speaker, the etymology of the Eurasian language is not known to
me by experience, but by the factors of history and development, and their
laws, that we have hitherto been able to observe. Today the word in question is
“Skauth”, which comes from the variety of s-mobile words, seen visibly in its
cognate “Kauth”, which means to cover, or conceil. The s-mobile implies, if our
theory is correct, that what is denoted by the “S-Kauth” construct is an object
which not only covers, but covers “across” something and in a dynamic fashion
(as another dimension of movement or action is added). Skauth originally meant
the clouds, which cover or conceil the sky, and gradually came to mean the
firmament itself, for “covering” the earth, irrespective of whether or not the
object referred to is composed of clouds, or open air. Still, literature that
speaks of “Skauanap” brings visions of thing flying through clouds, literally
“up in the clouds”, though it can also refer to movement between them, or in
just plain open air. This poetic speech has become a standard retainer of the
older meaning, as it truly does mean some kind of covering present in the air,
and means only by extension the covering that the entire sky provides over the
earth.
Poetic Language
The
following line is a famous verse of poetry, which typifies the spleen felt with
the coming of a new, dull age. Man, the central character, asks to the dog,
then realizing that he is actually talking to himself, what the point of
existence is. He says,
“Quon,
quadate? Nen, quadame?”
Which
means,
“Dog,
what dost thou? Nay, what do I?”
Another
is the famous line from “Perurath”, the vassal, when he is asked about the
titular Man. He simply says,
“Preineam”
Which
means,
“I do
not approve.”
It
also means along the lines if “I do not entertain” or “I do not protect”, but
it is in reference to the disposition of his fellow. He clearly does not guard
or make safe his friend’s feelings, much less condone them, which serves to
show the extended meaning of the word.
A
phrase from an early poet:
Meirath
Eurneath
A Variety of Indo-European Phenomena Explained
“n”
and “d”
“n”
and “k”: the germanic “nk” (although possible a nasal intrusion in
proto-Germanic, research more which roots include “nk” and which do not).
Remember:
-anidath is for gerund or instance continuous. –dath and –nath are both
passive? –dath is more permanent while –nath is in an instance, “having been
___ed”, ? As in “broken”, the “n”, or “gone”, the –n-. –dath is an adjective of
the passive. “Modath”, thought. “Monath” may be indirectly related to Math,
instead of what is directly “made” by Math, or whatever…
Also,
Germanic –nk is from –anikath, from the N-construct and the Kath potential,
which was later used as a diminutive of sorts, like “Ushanka”, or “Maedchen”,
-icus. But it served true potential back then, and signified a specific kind of
relationship.
So,
is Ushanka “Ausanikith”?
Second
Person Element: We can deduce that the original sound to signify the second
person was a “t”, both by the pronoun “tu” and the plural form in Latin
“datis”, which is very similar to “damus”, and likely differs only because of
vowel harmony, changing the U to an I because of the T.
Later
developments saw complete ablauts put in, such as pedai to podai.

Notice that “Durath” is a merger
between “dath + urath” and “dvath + urath”, therefore containing both meanings,
as a “double verb”. Indeed, “verb” and “noun” share the same meaning in this
language.
The big ideas are as follows:
1.
The destruction of the boundary
between the noun and the verb.
2.
The ordering of words based on the
logical succession of causation, rather than typical, disjointed
nominative-accusative structures. This means the total reallignment of the
language into an OVS one.
3.
The total reconfiguration of the
grammatical person system into a clearly defined, universal system for
existential marking, signified as “M, T, TH”. This is reduced from various
theories as will be gone over here.
I feel a bit like Darwin aboard the
HMS Beagle, before he wrote The Origin of Species. It was not so much that I
was the first person to observe this, but that I was the first to dare noting
it. It began with a preliminary knowledge of the Indo-European declension
systems, one of the best preserved being Latin, from which the first key
observation was made. I noticed, as well as with the reconstructed declension
charts for PIE, that the phonetic elements marking person closely matched those
marking conjugation. One must know of the discontinuity and mixing of
Indo-European sounds to appreciate this. I knew that the –um ending in Latin
provided a noun-form of the Latin verb, such as in “imperium”. This “m” is no
doubt the same “m” as the Latin accusative ending, as well as the German
accusative ending “n” and the PIE ending of the same. So, then, what we had was
a mechanism by which a verb could be treated as a noun. Where had I seen this
before? In German languages, the infinitive is marked by the same suffix “n”.
In Latin, such a word was treated only as an object, but in Germanic such a
construct could be treated as a verb’s infinitive form as well as an object, an
instance of the action or the “doing” of the verb. This was later maked with an
Ablaut in German. Knowing that all of these practices stemmed from the same
proto-languages, and grew to be more specified in their usage as time went on,
it could be deduced that this ending of “n” or “m” was a means for transforming
a verb into a state where it could be acted upon, such as in the infinitive. It
marks the accusative case in both Latin and German; notes about the development
of the femenine gender in PIE allowed me to realize that in the beginning, some
word constructs were intended solely for being passive object to be acted upon,
being “static” rather than “active”, and were therefore, in the beginning, sole
features of the accusative case.
With this in mind, one easily sees
how the “n”/”m” ending marks an accusative case, as well as in the case for
verbs – the verb literally became an object, being acted upon. It would make
little sense for the verb, in its “noun-ized” form, to take an active role; it
could very well do this in its normal form, under the pretext of a defined or
undefined grammatical person. What we had here, then, was a suffix that not
only made verbs into accusative nouns – we had a universal accusative ending.
Verbs were treated no differently.
The conception of the verb as a noun
and vice-versa came from the similarity of the third-person ending with the
standard nominative singular ending, creating a clear vision of how they merged
in the distant past.
Latin shows a tendancy to take the
PIE “t” and turn it to “s”; Veritas has the enetive form of “Veritatis”,
showing that “Veritas” was in fact “Veritat”, with the “s” being a “t”. We
assume here that this is standard to as to make the PIE ending itself, -os, originally with a fricative “D”
sound that became “S” after much mutation. This is also supported by the
personal ending –it, if they are to be matched and conjoined.
Notes:
Since
the PIE third person marker was, in fact, an “S” sound and not “T” or “D” or
“Th”, and was made so only for the purposes of (I don’t know), I will secretly
endeavor to create another version of this reconstruction that features these
more accurately PIE-like features. I will also endeavor to detail another
language, perhaps Eulasian or Eurasian, that will detail a slightly later
devolved version of the language, with participles like strant etc.
Go
over vocative form, the fact that “d”, the consonant itself, denotes an
existential nature in the same way as the three main markers. And that the
passive voice, “n”, can be declined to, as in active “Danath” from passive
“Dan”. This is vital.
Note:
The third person really was “s”, as evidence in “sui”, “se”.

1630s, from French céder or directly from Latin cedere
"to yield, give place; to give up some right or property," originally
"to go from, proceed, leave," from Proto-Italic *kesd-o-
"to go away, avoid," from PIE root *ked-
"to go, yield" (cf. Sanskrit sedhati
"to drive; chase away;" Avestan apa-had-
"turn aside, step aside;" Greek hodos
"way," hodites "wanderer,
wayfarer;" Old Church Slavonic chodu "a
walking, going," choditi "to go").
Related: Ceded; ceding.
The sense evolution in Latin is via the notion of "to go away, withdraw,
give ground."
