Here is the current declension chart:
Case | Singular | Plural |
nominative | huz | huzï |
accusative | huzïk | huzïkum |
genitive | huzïs | huzïsum |
dative | huzïc | huzïcum |
instrumental | huzïv | huzïvum |
allative | huzïts | huzïtsum |
ablative | huzïd | huzïdum |
locative | huzïks | huzïksum |
The current system has an epenthetic vowel -ï between the noun stem and the case endings, and then a special plural marker -um after the case marker in non-nominative cases. I think that if I follow the pattern of the vowel declension, I should put a plural marker before the case marker and see what happens. I think I will use a different plural marker: -ar. For the time being, I will leave the singular declension the same.
case | with -ar pl marker |
nominative | huzar |
accusative | huzark |
genitive | huzars |
dative | huzarc* |
instrumental | huzarv |
allative | huzarts* |
ablative | huzard |
locative | huzarks* |
case | with -ar pl marker |
nominative | huzar |
accusative | huzark |
genitive | huzars** |
dative | huzarca |
instrumental | huzarv** |
allative | huzartsa |
ablative | huzard |
locative | huzarksa |
**These consonant clusters are technically legal in syllable codas in Rayanese, but seeing them here, I am not sure that I care for them. I may have to revise my phonotactics! Or perhaps, I can let them remain legal, but rare, and have all plural forms in this declension adopt the reduplicative -a by analogy:
case | with -ar pl marker |
nominative | huzara |
accusative | huzarka |
genitive | huzarsa |
dative | huzarca |
instrumental | huzarva |
allative | huzartsa |
ablative | huzarda |
locative | huzarksa |
More decisions must be made!
