As can be seen, Fylfathic borrows "al-" from Arabic but writes it differently, with an obligatory kashida (eg. "اَلـ"), the origonal purpose was not recorded, but it is likely to make the division clearer. You will also notice a construct form, this descends from the "short genitive" (the form used in compounding), and this shift had been happening since at least the early 12th century and can be seen in the clear shift in how compounds are formed, for example, we will take "mountain", which is literally "that which carves the sky" in Fylfathic. Before the shift, such a compound would be formed as "sky's carver", with "sky" in the short genitive, thus the ancient "{{lang|fulf|ammaskafanṣ}}", but after the shift we see the form {{l|oflf|سکافانآثاامّاس|tr=skafanōṯaammas}} (modern: {{l|fulf|خَفَنَوثَمَم|tr=hafanawṯamam}}) | |||

Fylfathic (/ˈfʊl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/, /ˈfʌl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/, or (rare) /ˈfɪl.feɪ̯.ðɪk/, also "Lojic" /loʊ̯.d͡ʒɪk/; Autonym: تُنگَفٖلفَنص (tüngafülfanṣ) /tyŋ.ga.fyl.fant͡s/ or تٖنگَلٓجَا (tüngalojaʔ) /tyŋ.ga.lo.d͡ʒaʔ/) is a Chlesamnic language spoken on the northeast side of Mount Lebanon (Native: خَفَنَوثَلٓجَا (hafanawṯalojaʔ)).
Etymology
تُنگَفٖلفَنص (tüngafülfanṣ) descends from Old Fylfathic تيُنگافيُلفانص (tüngafülfanṣ), itself a reformation of the ancient "فيُلفانآثاتيُنگا" (fülfanoṯatünga), all ultimately compounds of modern فٖلفَنص (fülfanṣ, “Fylfans”) + تٖنَگ (tünag, “tongue”).
The ـلٓجَا (-lojaʔ) of تٖنگَلٓجَا (tüngalojaʔ) is from لٓجَا (lojaʔ), the word for a blinding white, though it is taken as a shortening of the name of Mount Lebanon.
Morphology
Fylfathic is among the most divergent of all the Chlesamnic languages, and this shows in its strongly nonconcatenative morphology that works off roots as in the Semitic languages.
Nouns
Nouns have, at most, four patterns, all of these work on the root pattern "(CV)CVC", the first vowel can be anything, but the second vowel is limited to the small set of /a, i, aj, aw/ in the singular, and /aw, aj, a, a.wa/ in the plural. These different patterns recieve the names "-a- root", "-i- root", -ay- root", and "-aw- root", an example of each is فٖلَف (fülaf), عَفِا (ʕafiʔ), فٔذَير (feḏayr), and مَينَوص (maynawṣ).
