Sometimes the same endings, e.g. ''-ī'' and ''-ēs'', are used for more than one case. Since the function of a word in Aeranir is shown by ending rather than word order, in theory ''requor rēnī'' could mean either 'I return to the king' or 'I return from the king.' In practice, however, such ambiguities are rare.

=== Demonstrative pronouns ===
=== Demonstrative pronouns ===
Demonstratives underwent a great deal of change during the latest stages of Classical Aeranir, and much of the older forms were preserved in Golden Age Aeranir alongside their newer counterparts.  The Classical Aeranir distal and medial demonstratives were formed from the third person pronoun ''us, va, un'' plus a suffix.  This produced a variety of irregular forms, which were regularised in early Golden Age Aeranir.  However, which stem was taken to become the new regular form varied between times, locations, and speakers.  Generally, two stems were predominant for each demonstrative; with the medial varying between ''ust-'' and ''unt-'' and the distal between ''ūl-'' and ''ull-''.  Eventually, the former of the two became more common, although the latter remained in marginal use, even into the Aeranid languages.

Even after the new regular demonstratives had been widely adopted, the old ones continued to be used for stylistic purposes, and where considered more proper for official writing, speech, and communication.


<div style="overflow:auto">
In Classical Aeranir, demonstratives could stand for a person or thing, but also a place—there was no distinction between 'this' and 'here.'  However, in Golden Age Aeranir, another one of the old stems was generalised to create dedicated locative pronouns '''''vistus, vista, vistun''''' 'there (near you),' and '''''vīlus, vīla, vīlun''''' 'there (far away).'  By analogy, the proximal locative demonstrative '''''viseus, visea, viseun''''' 'here' was also created.  These were used along side the regular demonstratives to express location.

===Possessive pronouns===
Possessive pronouns in Aeranir distinguish between many more different types of possession than ordinary nouns, which use only the genitive to mark possession, ownership, association, etc.  Pronouns distinguish both alienable and inalienable possession.

Objects of inalienable possession are marked with the genitive of a personal or demonstrative pronoun.  These include body parts, kinship and familiarity terms, personal attributes, emotions, or thoughts.  These pronouns generally proceed the possessee, although that is not always the case, especially in poety.  Singular pronouns '''', '''', '''', '''', ''ustī'', and ''ūlī'' may be appear as ''tei'', ''nei'', ''cei'', ''sei'', ''usti'', ''ūli'' before words starting with a vowel, and ''te'', ''ne'', ''ce'', ''se'', ''ust'', ''ūl'' before words starting with ''i''.

Alienable possession, including essentially all other categories, is marked via possessive adjectives.  These adjective may appear either before or after the possessee, but usually come afterwards.  Oftentimes, the different use of alienable/inalienable pronouns may hint at a difference in meaning.  The word '''''indus''''', for example, may mean 'head,' but also 'capital' or 'leader.' With inalienable pronouns, however, it always means 'head,' versus with alienable pronouns, it means 'capital,' or 'leader' because while a head is inalienable, a capital or leader is not.  However, this might not always be the case, depending on the possessor and context.

==Adverbs==
| ''seōrun''
Adverbs in Aeranir are used to modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs indicating time, manner, or place.
| colspan="3" | ''seōs''
Most adjectives are formed from nouns or adjectives, although they can be derived from some verbs, especially stative verbs.  There are a variety of different formulation strategies, depending on the class of the noun/adjective/verb.
| ''ustōrun''
*''formus'' ("warm" 1st-2nd declension adjective) → '''''formē''''' ("warmly")
| ''ustārun''
*''aerās'' ("an Aeran" 3rd declension noun) → '''''aerāne''''' ("like an Aeran")
| ''ustōrun''
*''raelis'' ("a child" 3rd declension i-stem noun) → '''''raeliter''''' ("like a child")
| colspan="3" | ''ustōs''
*''vȳlēs'' ("three days from now" 4th declension noun) → '''''vȳlē''''' ("every three days")
| ''ūlōrun''
*''sacus'' ("a pin" 5th declension noun) → '''''saciter''''' ("sharply, like a pin")
| ''ūlārun''
One of the most notable uses of the adverbial form is with verbs like ''ficitz'' ("it makes me"), ''fitz'' ("I become"), and ''caitz'' ("I change into").  Adverbs can be used to denote the result of a change of state in such a clause.

[[File:Dga pyramid.png|thumb|250px|right|The ''DGA pyramid'', originally developed by u/Darkgamma, 2018. ''[https://www.reddit.com/r/conlangs/comments/aarsyy/the_total_cacophony_of_bäladiri_verb_agreement/ The Total Cacophony of Bäladiri Verb Agreement and Argument Assignment]''.]]
Verbs in Aeranir are conjugated to agree with the [[w:Grammatical number|number]], the [[w:Grammatical person|person]], and in the third person singular, the [[w:Grammatical gender|gender]] of the most oblique argument given a word's [[w:Valency (linguistics)|valency]], as defined by the ''DGA pyramid''<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/conlangs/comments/aarsyy/the_total_cacophony_of_bäladiri_verb_agreement/</ref>.  Here, '''S''' represents the [[w:Subject (grammar)|subject]] of an [[w:Intransitive verb|intransitive verb]], such as 'the person' in 'the person laughed.'  '''A''' represents the [[w:Agent (grammar)|agent]] of a [[w:Transitive verb|transitive verb]] (also occasually called the [[w:Subject (grammar)|subject]]), or the person or thing that does the action of the verb, such as 'the child' in 'the child reads the book.'  '''D''' marks the donor, a special type of agent, who gives something or does a the action of a verb for the benefit of another, such as ‘the senator’ in ‘the senator gave the cat some milk. These are collectively called the '''nominative argument''', and are expressed usually with the [[w:Nominative case|nominative case]], but also occasionally with the [[w:Genitive case|genitive case]] in dependant clauses.


{| class="wikitable"   style="display: inline-table;"
'''P''' represents the [[w:Patient (grammar)|patient]] of a [[w:Transitive verb|transitive verb]], or the person or thing towhich the verb is done, also called the '''direct object''', such as ‘the book’ in ‘the child reads the book.’  '''T''' represents the '''theme''', or the object that is given to someone or something, such as ‘the milk’ in ‘the senator gave the cat some milk.’  These two roles make up the '''accusative argument''', which is marked with the [[w:Accusative case|accusative case]].  Finally, '''R''' represents the '''recipient''', or the person who recieves the theme from the donor, or benefits from the donor's action, with a [[w:Ditransitive verb|ditransitive verb]], also commonly called the '''indirect object''', such as 'the cat' in 'the senator gave the cate some milk.'
|+caption | Possessive pronouns
 
Aeranir verbs conjugate their endings to agree with the most oblique argument in a clause.  That means the '''subject''' of an '''intransitive verb''' (e.g. '''''claut<u>itz</u>'''''; '<u>I</u> laugh'), the '''patient''' of a '''transitive verb''' (e.g. '''''auh<u>en</u>te'''''; 'I look at <u>you</u>'), or the '''recipient''' of a '''ditransitive verb''' (e.g. '''''tzav<u>ī</u>'r salvae'''''; 'you all gave <u>me</u> the books').

It should be noted that a verb in the [[w:Active voice|active voice]] must always have the maximum number of arguments according to its inherent transitivity.  This means, for example, that one can never say 'John eats.'  Because 'to eat' is transitive, there must be a patient, or direct object, e.g. 'John eats food.'  However, there are a number of valancy dropping operations available in Aeranir to allow various arguments to be dropped, which are discussed in the section on [[w:Voice (grammar)|voice]].
 
Additional arguments can be expressed with [[w:Clitic|pronominal clitics]] attached to the end of a verb in independant clauses and to the beginning in dependant ones (e.g.'''''auhen<u>te</u>'''''; '<u>I</u> look at you,' '''''tzāvī<u>'r</u> salvae'''''; '<u>you all</u> gave me the books'), however these are not considered part of a verbs conjugation, and are optional, especially if the information can be assumed or is known between speakers.

Objects of inalienable possession are marked with the genitive of a personal or demonstrative pronoun.  These include body parts, kinship and familiarity terms, personal attributes, emotions, or thoughts.  These pronouns generally proceed the possessee, although that is not always the case, especially in poety.  Singular pronouns ''tī'', ''nī'', ''cī'', ''sī'', ''ustī'', and ''ūlī'' may be appear as ''tei'', ''nei'', ''cei'', ''sei'', ''usti'', ''ūli'' before words starting with a vowel, and ''te'', ''ne'', ''ce'', ''se'', ''ust'', ''ūl'' before words starting with ''i''.

Alienable possession, including essentially all other categories, is marked via possessive adjectives. These adjective may appear either before or after the possessee, but usually come afterwards.  Oftentimes, the different use of alienable/inalienable pronouns may hint at a difference in meaning.  The word '''''indus''''', for example, may mean 'head,' but also 'capital' or 'leader.'  With inalienable pronouns, however, it always means 'head,' versus with alienable pronouns, it means 'capital,' or 'leader' because while a head is inalienable, a capital or leader is not.  However, this might not always be the case, depending on the possessor and context.

==Adverbs==

Adverbs in Aeranir are used to modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs indicating time, manner, or place.
! ''weak''
Most adjectives are formed from nouns or adjectives, although they can be derived from some verbs, especially stative verbs.  There are a variety of different formulation strategies, depending on the class of the noun/adjective/verb.

One of the most notable uses of the adverbial form is with verbs like ''ficitz'' ("it makes me"), ''fitz'' ("I become"), and ''caitz'' ("I change into").  Adverbs can be used to denote the result of a change of state in such a clause.

Verbs in Aeranir are conjugated to agree with the [[w:Grammatical number|number]], the [[w:Grammatical person|person]], and in the third person singular, the [[w:Grammatical gender|gender]] of the most oblique argument given a word's [[w:Valency (linguistics)|valency]], as defined by the ''DGA pyramid''<ref>https://www.reddit.com/r/conlangs/comments/aarsyy/the_total_cacophony_of_bäladiri_verb_agreement/</ref>. Here, '''S''' represents the [[w:Subject (grammar)|subject]] of an [[w:Intransitive verb|intransitive verb]], such as 'the person' in 'the person laughed.' '''A''' represents the [[w:Agent (grammar)|agent]] of a [[w:Transitive verb|transitive verb]] (also occasually called the [[w:Subject (grammar)|subject]]), or the person or thing that does the action of the verb, such as 'the child' in 'the child reads the book.'  '''D''' marks the donor, a special type of agent, who gives something or does a the action of a verb for the benefit of another, such as ‘the senator’ in ‘the senator gave the cat some milk.’  These are collectively called the '''nominative argument''', and are expressed usually with the [[w:Nominative case|nominative case]], but also occasionally with the [[w:Genitive case|genitive case]] in dependant clauses.

Aeranir verbs conjugate their endings to agree with the most oblique argument in a clause. That means the '''subject''' of an '''intransitive verb''' (e.g. '''''claut<u>itz</u>'''''; '<u>I</u> laugh'), the '''patient''' of a '''transitive verb''' (e.g. '''''auh<u>en</u>te'''''; 'I look at <u>you</u>'), or the '''recipient''' of a '''ditransitive verb''' (e.g. '''''tzav<u>ī</u>'r salvae'''''; 'you all gave <u>me</u> the books').

It should be noted that a verb in the [[w:Active voice|active voice]] must always have the maximum number of arguments according to its inherent transitivity.  This means, for example, that one can never say 'John eats.' Because 'to eat' is transitive, there must be a patient, or direct object, e.g. 'John eats food.'  However, there are a number of valancy dropping operations available in Aeranir to allow various arguments to be dropped, which are discussed in the section on [[w:Voice (grammar)|voice]].

Additional arguments can be expressed with [[w:Clitic|pronominal clitics]] attached to the end of a verb in independant clauses and to the beginning in dependant ones (e.g.'''''auhen<u>te</u>'''''; '<u>I</u> look at you,' '''''tzāvī<u>'r</u> salvae'''''; '<u>you all</u> gave me the books'), however these are not considered part of a verbs conjugation, and are optional, especially if the information can be assumed or is known between speakers.

====Principle Parts====
The verb in Aeranir is primarily made of three parts: '''root''', '''theme''', and '''ending''', with an optional forth category, the '''suffix''', for forming the perfective.  The root and theme combine to form the '''stem'''.  The root carries the semantic content of the word, and can also be conjugated to carry modal imformation.  The theme describes how the stem interacts with the ending, and can also be changed, along with the stem and endings, to express a variety of different grammatical meanings.  Endings indicate the voice, aspect, person, number, and gender of the most oblique argument in the DGA scheme.

The way in which a verb will conjugate can be determined from how it forms the following five constructions:
#the active idicative imperfective first person singular
#the active imperfective accusative infinitive
#the active perfective participle
#the active desiderative imperfective first person singular
#the active indicative perfective first person singular
These five forms are refered to as a verb's ''reference forms''.  They are often shortend to ''first person singular'' ({{Smallcaps|1p.sg}}), ''accusative infinitive'' ({{Smallcaps|acc.inf}}), ''perfective participle'' ({{Smallcaps|pfv.ptcp}}), ''desiderative first person singular'' ({{Smallcaps|des.1p.sg}}), and ''perfective first person singular'' ({{Smallcaps|pfv.1p.sg}}) respectively.

The second two determine a verb's '''t-stem''' and '''s-stem'''.  These stem alterations are used for further conjugation, the t-stem forming the ''active'' and ''middle perfective participles'', the ''causative voice'', and the ''potential mood'', and the s-stem forming the ''desiderative''.  The t- and s-forms often are identical, however meaning is useally further differentiated by thematic vowels, so completely identical forms are rare.
| ''-q-''  
 
| rowspan="2" | → '''''-qt-'''''
The final form determines how a verb with form the perfective aspect.  Generally, there are three main strategies for this: the application of suffix '''''-u-''''' directly after the stem (e.g. '''''{{term|oelitz}}''''' ("I work") → '''''oeluī''''' ("I worked")), the appication of the suffix '''''-v-''''' after a theme vowel (e.g. '''''{{term|aehatz}}''''' ("they love me") → '''''aehāvī''''' ("they loved me")), or no suffix, with lengthening of the root vowel (e.g. '''''{{term|lecitz}}''''' ("I choose") → '''''lēcī''''' ("I chose")).  It should be noted that the perfective is always followed by weak endings.

Occassionally, a thematic vowel, weak or strong, may be inserted before the t- or s-stem.  This is most common in verbs with a base thematic ''-ā-'', which often functions as a part of the stem (e.g. '''''aehatz''''' → '''''aehātus''''' ("that loved") '''''aehārit''''' ("they want to love me") vs. '''''{{term|mavatz}}''''' ("I wander") → '''''mautus''''' ("that wandered") '''''maurit''''' ("I want to wander)).  This may occur with other theme classes, although it should be noted that ''-ē-'' is never used, and is always replaced with ''-ī-''.

===Aspect===
Aeranir verbs have two basic [[w:Grammatical aspect|aspects]], which express how the verb extends over time.  Aspect differs from [[w:Grammatical tense|tense]] in that it deals with the completion or continuity of an action or state, rather than the absolute timeframe inwhich it took place.  Each aspect may be in any [[w:Grammatical voice|voice]] and/or [[w:Grammatical mood|mood]].  Aspect is expressed primarily through endings, and secondarily through the suffix, as discussed above.
====Imperfective====
The [[w:Imperfective aspect|imperfective aspect]] describes a situation viewed with interior composition.  It describes ongoing, habitual, or repeated situations, rather or not they occured in the past, present, or future.  The imperfective aspect is considered the most basic, unmarked aspect of a verb.  The stem is uninflected, and endings are attached directly to the verb's basic theme vowel.
 
====Pefective====
The [[w:Perfective aspect|perfective aspect]] in Aeranir describes situations viewed with exterior composition, which is to say actions which are completed and viewed as a unified whole, whether thet take place in the past present, or future, although this construction is very rarely used in for the future.
 
There are a variety of different strategies to form the perfective.  Many of them involve the ''suffix'', which takes the form of ''-v-'' between vowels and ''-u-'' after consonants.  All of them take the perfective endings.
:*Attachment of the suffix directly to the stem.
:::'''''{{term|mentitz}}''''' ("they are healing me") → '''''mentuī''''' ("they healed me")
:::'''''{{term|saepitz}}''''' ("they are cutting me") → '''''saepuī''''' ("they cut me")
:*Attachment of the suffix after base thematic vowel.
:::'''''{{term|sircuitz}}''''' ("they are speaking me") → '''''sircīvī''''' ("they spoke me")
:::'''''{{term|auhetz}}''''' ("they are looking at me") → '''''auhēvī''''' ("they looked at me")
:*No suffix; perfective endings attached directly to the stem, with root vowel lengthening.
:::'''''{{term|iuvatz}}''''' ("they are writing me") → '''''iūvī''''' ("they wrote me")
:::'''''{{term|vehitz}}''''' ("they are carrying me") → '''''vēhī''''' ("they carried me")
 
===Mood===
====Indicative====
The [[w:Indicative mood|indicative mood]] is the baseline grammatical mood in Aeranir.  It is used in declarative statements, to express statements or facts, of what the speaker considers true or known.  It is the least marked mood of a verb, taking endings directly to the base theme vowel, stem, or suffix.
 
====Subjunctive====
The [[w:Subjunctive mood|subjunctive mood]] ({{Smallcaps|subj}}) has numerous, but genreally speaking is used to express such nuances as 'would,' 'should,' or 'may.' It can be used to refer to information that the speaker is unsure about, such as hearsay, or for theoretical or hypotherical situations.  It is often found in subordinate clauses, annd may be used for conditional statements (e.g. if..., when...).

=====Forming the subjunctive=====
The subjunctive is formed by shifting a verb's base theme vowel, as described by the table to the left.  This shift happens after the stem, but may be either before or after the suffix, depending on whether or not there is a theme vowel before the suffix in the indicative.  So the perfective of '''''aehēs''''' ("they should love it") is '''''aehēvis''''' (from indicative '''''aehāvis''''') but '''''sēpiās''''' ("they should cut it") is '''''sēpuēs''''' (from indicative '''''sēpuis'''''), not **''aehāvēs'' or **''sēpēvis''.  Although these forms are occasionally found in non-standard writing, they are considered incorrect my grammaticians.
The imperfective subjunctive uses the 1st person sungular ''-it'' instead of ''-itz'', and ''-ō'' instead of ''-or'': '''''{{term|pacitz}}''''', '''''pacior''''' ("they take me, I take") become '''''paciat''''', '''''paciō''''' ("they should take me, I should take").


{| class="wikitable floatleft"  style="margin:autmargin:auto;"
The 1st person subjunctive perfective in verbs that have no theme vowel before the suffix and does not extend the root vowel is identical to the indicative, and the mood must be inferred through conext: '''''saepuī''''' may be either "they cut me" or "They should cut me."  The 3rd person active cyclical singulars in verbs with base theme vowels ''-ī-'' and ''-ē-'' are also identical, e.g. both '''''pacia''''' ("they take it/they should take it"), '''''auhea''''' ("they see it/they should see it").

=====Uses of the subjunctive=====
! rowspan="2" | ''Ending''
The subjunctive has numerous uses, ranging from what potentially might be true to what the speaker wishes or commands should happen. It is often translated with 'should', 'could', 'would', 'may' and so on, but in certain contexts it is translated as if it were an ordinary indicative verb.
! colspan="3" | ''Theme''
 
|-
One use of the subjunctive is the '''speculative subjunction''', used when the speaker imagines what potentially may, might, would, or could happen in the present or future or might have happened in the past.  Negation for this type uses '''''{{term|mū}}'''''.

The second two determine a verb's '''t-stem''' and '''s-stem'''.  These stem alterations are used for further conjugation, the t-stem forming the ''active'' and ''middle perfective participles'', the ''causative voice'', and the ''potential mood'', and the s-stem forming the ''desiderative''.  The t- and s-forms often are identical, however meaning is useally further differentiated by thematic vowels, so completely identical forms are rare.


The final form determines how a verb with form the perfective aspect.  Generally, there are three main strategies for this: the application of suffix '''''-u-''''' directly after the stem (e.g. '''''{{term|oelitz}}''''' ("I work") → '''''oeluī''''' ("I worked")), the appication of the suffix '''''-v-''''' after a theme vowel (e.g. '''''{{term|aehatz}}''''' ("they love me") → '''''aehāvī''''' ("they loved me")), or no suffix, with lengthening of the root vowel (e.g. '''''{{term|lecitz}}''''' ("I choose") → '''''lēcī''''' ("I chose")).  It should be noted that the perfective is always followed by weak endings.

| please-SUBJ.3SG.C Little.Oscus-ACC.SG gift-ESS.SG book-NOM.SG
|'Little Oscus ''may'' like a book as a gift'}}


Occassionally, a thematic vowel, weak or strong, may be inserted before the t- or s-stem.  This is most common in verbs with a base thematic ''-ā-'', which often functions as a part of the stem (e.g. '''''aehatz''''' → '''''aehātus''''' ("that loved") '''''aehārit''''' ("they want to love me") vs. '''''{{term|mavatz}}''''' ("I wander") → '''''mautus''''' ("that wandered") '''''maurit''''' ("I want to wander)).  This may occur with other theme classes, although it should be noted that ''-ē-'' is never used, and is always replaced with ''-ī-''.
The subjunctive may also be used as the '''optative subjunctive''', expressing what the speaker wishes may happen, or wishes had happened. These expresses a weaker or more generalised desire, as opposed to the desiderative mood. Negation for this type uses '''''{{term|}}'''''.


===Aspect===
:{{interlinear | box=yes
Aeranir verbs have two basic [[w:Grammatical aspect|aspects]], which express how the verb extends over time. Aspect differs from [[w:Grammatical tense|tense]] in that it deals with the completion or continuity of an action or state, rather than the absolute timeframe inwhich it took place.  Each aspect may be in any [[w:Grammatical voice|voice]] and/or [[w:Grammatical mood|mood]]. Aspect is expressed primarily through endings, and secondarily through the suffix, as discussed above.

====Imperfective====
| come-PFV.SUBJ.3SG.T NEG this-T.NOM.SG capital-DAT.SG storm-NOM.SG
The [[w:Imperfective aspect|imperfective aspect]] describes a situation viewed with interior composition. It describes ongoing, habitual, or repeated situations, rather or not they occured in the past, present, or future. The imperfective aspect is considered the most basic, unmarked aspect of a verb. The stem is uninflected, and endings are attached directly to the verb's basic theme vowel.
|<nowiki>'</nowiki>''If only'' this storm hadn't come to the capital!'}}


====Pefective====
The '''jussive subjunctive''' can be used for commands or suggestions for what should happen.  It is less direct and far more common than the '''imperative'''.  Negation for this type uses '''''{{term|mīm}}'''''.
The [[w:Perfective aspect|perfective aspect]] in Aeranir describes situations viewed with exterior composition, which is to say actions which are completed and viewed as a unified whole, whether thet take place in the past present, or future, although this construction is very rarely used in for the future.


There are a variety of different strategies to form the perfective.  Many of them involve the ''suffix'', which takes the form of ''-v-'' between vowels and ''-u-'' after consonants.  All of them take the perfective endings.

:*Attachment of the suffix after base thematic vowel.

:::'''''{{term|vehitz}}''''' ("they are carrying me") → '''''vēhī''''' ("they carried me")


===Mood===
Perhaps the most common use of the subjunctive is the '''conditional subjunctive'''.  When the subjunctive is used in a subordinate clause (with the verb moving to the final position), it may carry the meaning 'if, when, should, etc..'  This can be used both in finite verb forms, and with participles, the former being more popular in Old inscriptions and the later in Classical ones.  Negation for this type uses '''''{{term|mīm}}'''''.
====Indicative====
 
The [[w:Indicative mood|indicative mood]] is the baseline grammatical mood in Aeranir.  It is used in declarative statements, to express statements or facts, of what the speaker considers true or known.  It is the least marked mood of a verb, taking endings directly to the base theme vowel, stem, or suffix.
====Desiderative====
The desiderative is used primarily to express wants or desires.  While the subjunctive may be used for this as well (see ''optative subjunctive''), the desiderative is considered less abstract or wishful, signalling concrete and actionable wants.  It is formed from the s-stem of a verb, with no theme vowel between it and the ending, and using the secondary first person singular and third person plural markers (e.g. ''-it'' and ''-end'' vs. primary ''-itz'' and ''-entz'').  Verbs generally follow three patterns to form the s-stem;
 
:*''-s-'' is appended to the root, causing no other alteration to the root.
::: '''''{{term|requitz}}''''' ("they return me") → '''''reqsit''''' ("they want to return me")
:::'''''{{term|saepitz}}''''' ("they are cutting me") → '''''saepsit''''' ("they want to cut me")
:*''-s-'' is appended after a theme vowel, causing ''-s-'' to become ''-r-''.
:::'''''{{term|sircuitz}}''''' ("they are speaking me") → '''''sircuerit''''' ("they want to speak me")
:::'''''{{term|auhetz}}''''' ("they are looking at me") → '''''auherit''''' ("they want to look at me")
:*''-s-'' is appended to the root, causing some alteration to the root, and perhaps the ''-s-'' augment as well.
:::'''''{{term|iuvatz}}''''' ("they are writing me") → '''''iūrit''''' ("they want to write me")
:::'''''{{term|mentitz}}''''' ("they are healing me") → '''''mēnsit''''' ("they want to heal me")


====Subjunctive====
====Potential====
The [[w:Subjunctive mood|subjunctive mood]] ({{Smallcaps|subj}}) has numerous, but genreally speaking is used to express such nuances as 'would,' 'should,' or 'may.'  It can be used to refer to information that the speaker is unsure about, such as hearsay, or for theoretical or hypotherical situations.  It is often found in subordinate clauses, annd may be used for conditional statements (e.g. if..., when...).
The '''potential mood''' indicates that, in the opinion of the speaker, one has the ability or capability to do something.  It should not be confused with the [[w:Subjunctive mood|subjunctive mood]], which may be used to express that something is likely or possible to occur.  The potential always deals with ability.  It may be formed from the ''t-stem'' of a verb, plus the thematic vowel ''-a-'' (as opposed to the [[w:Causative|causative voice]], which is formed with the ''t-stem'' plus the thematic vowel ''-i-'')Like the desiderative, there are three main paradigms by which the ''t-stem'' of a verb is formed;

The 1st person subjunctive perfective in verbs that have no theme vowel before the suffix and does not extend the root vowel is identical to the indicative, and the mood must be inferred through conext: '''''saepuī''''' may be either "they cut me" or "They should cut me."  The 3rd person active cyclical singulars in verbs with base theme vowels ''-ī-'' and ''-ē-'' are also identical, e.g. both '''''pacia''''' ("they take it/they should take it"), '''''auhea''''' ("they see it/they should see it").
It should be noted that in the causative voice of the potential mood, the first ''-t-'' augment often dissimilates to ''-s/ss-'';


=====Uses of the subjunctive=====
*'''''auhititz''''' ("they let me look at it") → ''**auhitītatz'' → '''''auhissītatz''''' ("they can let me look at it")
The subjunctive has numerous uses, ranging from what potentially might be true to what the speaker wishes or commands should happen. It is often translated with 'should', 'could', 'would', 'may' and so on, but in certain contexts it is translated as if it were an ordinary indicative verb.
*'''''reqtitz''''' ("they let me return it") → ''**reqtītatz'' → '''''reqsītatz''''' ("they can let me return it")


One use of the subjunctive is the '''speculative subjunction''', used when the speaker imagines what potentially may, might, would, or could happen in the present or future or might have happened in the pastNegation for this type uses '''''{{term|mū}}'''''.
===Voice===
====Active====
====Middle====
The '''middle voice''' (also called the [[w:Mediopassive voice|mediopassive voice]]) is in the middle between the active and the passive voices, as the subject often cannot be categorised as either agent or patient but may have elements of both.  The middle voice is usually inherently intransitive, and transitive or ditransitive verbs conjugated into the middle voice usually become intransitive themselvesIt is formed by attaching the '''middle verb endings''' to the root of a verb.


:{{interlinear | box=yes
The meaning of a verb in the middle voice often depends on the context of the sentence and the lexical properties of the word itself. In its most basic sense, it may be used simply as a valancy decreasing operation. As transitive verbs require an object in the active voice (because transitive verbs must agree with the object), the middle voice may be used merely to omit an object, to highlight the subject or some other part of the sentence, or to simply make a blanket statement.

The subjunctive may also be used as the '''optative subjunctive''', expressing what the speaker wishes may happen, or wishes had happened.  These expresses a weaker or more generalised desire, as opposed to the desiderative mood.  Negation for this type uses '''''{{term|mū}}'''''.
[[w:Animacy|Animacy]] can play a major role in the meaning of a verb in the middle voice.  Verbs with more animate subjects, such as people, animals, gods, etc., may be interpreted as more towards an active meaning, whilst less animate subjects, like inanimate objects or possessions, may be interpreted as more passive in meaning.

Perhaps the most common use of the subjunctive is the '''conditional subjunctive'''. When the subjunctive is used in a subordinate clause (with the verb moving to the final position), it may carry the meaning 'if, when, should, etc..'

====Desiderative====
:{{interlinear | box=yes
The desiderative is used primarily to express wants or desires. While the subjunctive may be used for this as well (see ''optative subjunctive''), the desiderative is considered less abstract or wishful, signalling concrete and actionable wants. It is formed from the s-stem of a verb, with no theme vowel between it and the ending, and using the secondary first person singular and third person plural markers (e.g. ''-it'' and ''-end'' vs. primary ''-itz'' and ''-entz'').  Verbs generally follow three patterns to form the s-stem;
| hastārur Oscus aprōrun
|sacrifice-MID.3SG.T Oscus-NOM.SG fish-INSTR.SG
|'Oscus sacrificed a fish (for their benefit)'
|c1 = (''middle voice'')}}


:*''-s-'' is appended to the root, causing no other alteration to the root.
Another important use of the middle voice is the '''experiential middle voice'''.  When used with sensory verbs the middle voice may be used to differentiate experiential, nonvolitional sensation (''see, hear, smell, feel, know, etc.''), as opposed to active, volitional sensation (''look, listen, sniff, touch, understand, etc.'') Often times, the object of the sensory verb will be expressed using an oblique case, usually the ablative.
::: '''''{{term|requitz}}''''' ("they return me") → '''''reqsit''''' ("they want to return me")
:::'''''{{term|saepitz}}''''' ("they are cutting me") → '''''saepsit''''' ("they want to cut me")
:*''-s-'' is appended after a theme vowel, causing ''-s-'' to become ''-r-''.

:::'''''{{term|auhetz}}''''' ("they are looking at me") → '''''auherit''''' ("they want to look at me")
:*''-s-'' is appended to the root, causing some alteration to the root, and perhaps the ''-s-'' augment as well.
:::'''''{{term|iuvatz}}''''' ("they are writing me") → '''''iūrit''''' ("they want to write me")
:::'''''{{term|mentitz}}''''' ("they are healing me") → '''''mēnsit''''' ("they want to heal me")


====Potential====
:{{interlinear | box=yes
The '''potential mood''' indicates that, in the opinion of the speaker, one has the ability or capability to do something. It should not be confused with the [[w:Subjunctive mood|subjunctive mood]], which may be used to express that something is likely or possible to occur. The potential always deals with ability. It may be formed from the ''t-stem'' of a verb, plus the thematic vowel ''-a-'' (as opposed to the [[w:Causative|causative voice]], which is formed with the ''t-stem'' plus the thematic vowel ''-i-'').  Like the desiderative, there are three main paradigms by which the ''t-stem'' of a verb is formed;
| ȳrēs te ponun carīnī hellē
|hear/listen-ACT.3SG.T <nowiki>=</nowiki>1SG.NOM voice-ACC.SG friend-GEN.SG happily
|'I like to listen to (my) friend's voice'
|c1 = (''active voice'')}}


:*''-t-'' is appended to the root, causing no other alteration to the root.
:{{interlinear | box=yes
::: '''''{{term|requitz}}''''' ("they return me") → '''''reqtatz''''' ("they can return me")
| ȳreor ponā carīnī hellē
:::'''''{{term|saepitz}}''''' ("they are cutting me") → '''''saebtatz''''' ("they can cut me")
|hear/listen-MID.1SG voice-ABL.SG friend-GEN.SG happily
:*''-t-'' is appended after a theme vowel.
|'I like to hear (my) friend's voice'
:::'''''{{term|sircuitz}}''''' ("they are speaking me") → '''''sircuitatz''''' ("they can speak me")
|c1 = (''middle voice'')}}
:::'''''{{term|auhetz}}''''' ("they are looking at me") → '''''auhitatz''''' ("they can look at me")
:*''-t-'' is appended to the root, causing some alteration to the root, and perhaps the ''-t-'' augment as well.
:::'''''{{term|iuvatz}}''''' ("they are writing me") → '''''iūtatz''''' ("they can write me")
:::'''''{{term|mentitz}}''''' ("they are healing me") → '''''mēnsatz''''' ("they can heal me")


It should be noted that in the causative voice of the potential mood, the first ''-t-'' augment often dissimilates to ''-s/ss-'';
The middle voice may also be used with a variety of verbal compliments—usually adverbs—which describe the quality of the subject, or the result of the action.  Often times such constructions may be expressed in English as ''adjective to verb'', e.g. 'easy to love'.


*'''''auhititz''''' ("they let me look at it") → ''**auhitītatz'' → '''''auhissītatz''''' ("they can let me look at it")

The '''middle voice''' (also called the [[w:Mediopassive voice|mediopassive voice]]) is in the middle between the active and the passive voices, as the subject often cannot be categorised as either agent or patient but may have elements of both.  The middle voice is usually inherently intransitive, and transitive or ditransitive verbs conjugated into the middle voice usually become intransitive themselves. It is formed by attaching the '''middle verb endings''' to the root of a verb.
|'The tea you made us last time was delicious' (lit. '~drank well')}}


The meaning of a verb in the middle voice often depends on the context of the sentence and the lexical properties of the word itself.  In its most basic sense, it may be used simply as a valancy decreasing operationAs transitive verbs require an object in the active voice (because transitive verbs must agree with the object), the middle voice may be used merely to omit an object, to highlight the subject or some other part of the sentence, or to simply make a blanket statement.
====Passive====
The '''[[w:Passive voice|passive voice]]''' in Aeranir shares many traits with the middle voice, and often times the distinction between the two can be subtle, nuanced, or obscure.  The passive was rare in Old Aeranir and even in the Classical period remained unusual, with the middle voice still preferred for passive clauses.  It only began to rise in popularity in Late Aeranir.  In its most basic form, the grammatical subject ([[w: Nominative case|nominative]] argument) expresses the theme or [[w:Grammatical patient|patient]] of the main verb – that is, the person or thing that undergoes the action or has its state changedThis is opposed to the [[w:Active voice|active voice]], where the nominative argument expresses the agent of a transitive clause or subject of an intransitive one, and the [[w:Voice (grammar)#Middle|middle voice]], which has traits of both.


* '''''aeh<u>atz</u>''''' 'they love <u>me</u>' (''active'') → '''''aeh<u>or</u>''''' '<u>I</u> love' (''middle'')
=====Uses of the passive=====
* '''''lec<u>is</u>''''' 'they<sub>i</sub> choose <u>them<sub>j</sub></u>' (''active'') → '''''lec<u>erur</u>''''' '<u>they<sub>j</sub></u> choose' (''middle'')
Unlike the middle voice, the passive is not used for verbal complements, and it cannot take the agent of a verb as its subjectIt is never used in verbal complements.
 
[[w:Animacy|Animacy]] can play a major role in the meaning of a verb in the middle voiceVerbs with more animate subjects, such as people, animals, gods, etc., may be interpreted as more towards an active meaning, whilst less animate subjects, like inanimate objects or possessions, may be interpreted as more passive in meaning.

|'This tea is drunk often'}}
|c1 = (''less animate'')}}


Sometimes, it may have a '''reflexive''' meaning, or the sense of doing something for ones own benefit.
While the agent may be dropped in a passive clause, it may also be included, using the [[w:Ablative case|ablative case]].

|c1 = (''active voice'')}}
 
The passive can also be especially with intransitive verbs to form denote an '''unspecified/generic subject'''.  This structure may is used to make general statements or observations.  Negation for this type uses '''''{{term|mū}}'''''.


:{{interlinear | box=yes

|'Oscus sacrificed a fish (for their benefit)'
|'This is not enough water for the people of the capital'}}
|c1 = (''middle voice'')}}
 
Another important use of the middle voice is the '''experiential middle voice'''.  When used with sensory verbs the middle voice may be used to differentiate experiential, nonvolitional sensation (''see, hear, smell, feel, know, etc.''), as opposed to active, volitional sensation (''look, listen, sniff, touch, understand, etc.'')  Often times, the object of the sensory verb will be expressed using an oblique case, usually the ablative.


:{{interlinear | box=yes

|'I like to listen to (my) friend's voice'
|'There is not enough water for the people of the capital'}}
|c1 = (''active voice'')}}


:{{interlinear | box=yes
Similarly, the passive can be used to form the ''aversive passive'', denoting an undesirable event or outcomeThe affecting action may happen directly to the subject, or to another person or thing.
| ȳreor ponā carīnī hellē
|hear/listen-MID.1SG voice-ABL.SG friend-GEN.SG happily
|'I like to hear (my) friend's voice'
|c1 = (''middle voice'')}}
 
The middle voice may also be used with a variety of verbal compliments—usually adverbs—which describe the quality of the subject, or the result of the actionOften times such constructions may be expressed in English as ''adjective to verb'', e.g. 'easy to love'.

====Passive====
In some uses of the aversive passive, the subject of the sentence may be difficult to ascertain.  For example, the sentence '''''furuī pālā''''' 'I fell from the tree' can be expressed in using the aversive passive, because the action is undesirableHowever, the straight aversive passive, '''''furuēlō pālā''''', is ambiguous; it could mean either 'I fell from the tree' (using the ''ablative of motion'') or 'The tree fell on me' (using the ''agentive ablative'').
The '''[[w:Passive voice|passive voice]]''' in Aeranir shares many traits with the middle voice, and often times the distinction between the two can be subtle, nuanced, or obscure.  The passive was rare in Old Aeranir and even in the Classical period remained unusual, with the middle voice still preferred for passive clauses.  It only began to rise in popularity in Late AeranirIn its most basic form, the grammatical subject ([[w: Nominative case|nominative]] argument) expresses the theme or [[w:Grammatical patient|patient]] of the main verb – that is, the person or thing that undergoes the action or has its state changed.  This is opposed to the [[w:Active voice|active voice]], where the nominative argument expresses the agent of a transitive clause or subject of an intransitive one, and the [[w:Voice (grammar)#Middle|middle voice]], which has traits of both.


=====Uses of the passive=====
In the first interpretation, the first person argument is the semantic subject of the clause, whilst in the second it is the tree.  In order to emphasise that the semantic subject and syntactic arguments are the same (i.e. it is ''I'' who fell from the tree), the reflexive pronoun ''cē'' may be used; e.g. ''furuī pālā'' ('I fell from the tree') → '''''furuēlō cē pālā''''' ('I fell from the tree, and it negatively affected me' ''lit.'' 'I fell myself from the tree').
Unlike the middle voice, the passive is not used for verbal complements, and it cannot take the agent of a verb as its subject. It is never used in verbal complements.

==== The gerund ====
The gerund in Aeranir is a infinite verb form which displays characteristics of both a noun and a verb.  It declines for a limited scope of cases (although not for gender nor number), but can take object and adjunct arguments like a verb.  It usually has an adverbial/adjectival meaning, and never agrees with the main verb.
===== Forming the gerund =====
* Null-grade verbs: {{gcl|ROOT|root}}''-innū''; e.g. ''taetihan'' ('to drink') → '''''taetinnū''''' ('whilst drinking').
* A-grade verbs: {{gcl|ROOT|root}}''-annū''; e.g. ''iuvāhan'' ('to write') → '''''iuvannū''''' ('whilst writing').
* I-grade verbs: {{gcl|ROOT|root}}''-iennū''; e.g. ''cītīhan'' ('to cut') → '''''cītiennū''''' ('whilst cutting').
* E-grade verbs: {{gcl|ROOT|root}}''-ennū''; e.g. ''aquēhan'' ('to be open') → '''''aquennū''''' ('whilst open').


:{{interlinear | box=yes
===== Uses of the gerund =====
| mūhēlāra artina inceris alta
The meaning of the gerund changes depending on its case. The essive and locative can be used to indicate temporal action in relation to the main action of a sentence. The essive indicates simultaneous action, i.e. two actions that cooccur. This may be relayed in English via the conjunction 'whilst.'
|not.enough-PAS.3SG.C wumbo-DAT.PL capital-GEN.SG water-NOM.SG
|'There is not enough water for the people of the capital'}}


Similarly, the passive can be used to form the ''aversive passive'', denoting an undesirable event or outcome.  The affecting action may happen directly to the subject, or to another person or thing.
:{{interlinear | box=yes
| murran travannū pērintur pāliō mater
| wall-ACC.SG walk-GER.ESS converse.PFV-MID.3PL governor-NOM.SG senator-NOM.SG
|'Whilst they walked along the wall, the governor and senator conversed'}}


:{{interlinear | box=yes
This overlaps with certain uses of the imperfective participle (see [[Aeranir#Uses of the participle|§ uses of the participle]]), e.g. ''murran travantur pērintur pāliō mater'' is synonymous with the above example. In contrast, the locative gerund is used to show actions beginning at the same time. This may be relayed with English 'when' or 'as.'
| cōmerī requintus furuēlō sopere
|home-DAT return-IPFV.PTCP-T.NOM.SG fall-PFV.PAS.1SG snow-ABL.SG
|'Walking home I got snowed on'}}

|'Your master has died on you' (i.e., died and it negatively affects you)}}
|'As I (began to) cut the firewood, I saw that my knife was broken'}}
 
This differs from usage of the perfective participle, which signals the main action starting at the end of the dependant one, i.e. ''pāsillan cīsus auhēva sartī tūī cōrēssī'' 'having cut the firewood I saw that my knife was broken.'
 
In addition, the essive gerund may be used with the verb ''rēhan'' ('to do') in order to express an attempt, goal, or aim.  In the perfective aspect, this is usually interpreted as a failed attempt.


In some uses of the aversive passive, the subject of the sentence may be difficult to ascertain. For example, the sentence '''''furuī pālā''''' 'I fell from the tree' can be expressed in using the aversive passive, because the action is undesirable. However, the straight aversive passive, '''''furuēlō pālā''''', is ambiguous; it could mean either 'I fell from the tree' (using the ''ablative of motion'') or 'The tree fell on me' (using the ''agentive ablative'').

| do-PFV-MID.1SG book-ACC.SG over life-ABL.PL Ilian-GEN.PL write-GER.ESS
|'I tried (but failed) to write a book about the lives of the Ilians.'}}


In the first interpretation, the first person argument is the semantic subject of the clause, whilst in the second it is the treeIn order to emphasise that the semantic subject and syntactic arguments are the same (i.e. it is ''I'' who fell from the tree), the reflexive pronoun ''cē'' may be used; e.g. ''furuī pālā'' ('I fell from the tree') → '''''furuēlō cē pālā''''' ('I fell from the tree, and it negatively affected me' ''lit.'' 'I fell myself from the tree').
The genitive and dative cases of the gerund are used to express aim, goal, or purposeThe genitive gerund marks the purpose or use of a noun, whilst the dative gerund marks the purpose of a verb or action.

The ancient Aerans divided the day from noon to noon into one hundred '''''lammar''''' (sg. ''lamma'') of equal length, roughly 14.4 minutes long.  The daytime was divided into sixteen '''''lȳrar''''' (sg. ''lȳra''), and night into four or five '''''volar''''' (sg. ''vola'') depending on the season. Time was kept on a device called a '''''lammāriun''''', a type of clock.  Early ''lammāriunt'' only measured ''lammar'', and one had to consult an almanac ('''''lȳrāriun''''') to determine the length and starting time of each ''lȳra'' or ''vola'' on a given day.
* A-grade verbs: {{gcl|ROOT|root}}''-annū''; e.g. ''iuvāhan'' ('to write') '''''iuvannū''''' ('whilst writing').
* I-grade verbs: {{gcl|ROOT|root}}''-iennū''; e.g. ''cītīhan'' ('to cut') → '''''cītiennū''''' ('whilst cutting').
* E-grade verbs: {{gcl|ROOT|root}}''-ennū''; e.g. ''aquēhan'' ('to be open') '''''aquennū''''' ('whilst open').
===== Uses of the gerund =====
The meaning of the gerund changes depending on its case.  The essive and locative can be used to indicate temporal action in relation to the main action of a sentence.  The essive indicates simultaneous action, i.e. two actions that cooccur.  This may be relayed in English via the conjunction 'whilst.'


:{{interlinear | box=yes
The verb '''''spurhan''''' ('to hang (trans.)') is used to denote spending or taking time;
| murran travannū pērintur pāliō mater
| wall-ACC.SG walk-GER.ESS converse.PFV-MID.3PL governor-NOM.SG senator-NOM.SG
|'Whilst they walked along the wall, the governor and senator conversed'}}


This overlaps with certain uses of the imperfective participle (see [[Aeranir#Uses of the participle|§ uses of the participle]]), e.g. ''murran travantur pērintur pāliō mater'' is synonymous with the above example.  In contrast, the locative gerund is used to show actions beginning at the same time.  This may be relayed with English 'when' or 'as.'
:{{interlinear | box = yes
| spurra sau īma lamma āmātiō vannō
| hang-MID.C.3SG only one-C.NOM.SG lamma-NOM.SG market-DAT.SG go-GER-DAT
| 'It only takes one ''lamma'' to get to the market'}}


:{{interlinear | box=yes  
:{{interlinear | box = yes
| pāsillan cītiennīs auhēva sartī tūī cōrēssī
| qurrintus spūrint te volae mōrī
| fireword-ACC.SG cut-GER.LOC see-PFV-C.3SG knife-GEN.SG mine-T.GEN.SG break-PFV.MID.ACC.INF
| read-PTCP-T.NOM.SG hang.PFV-3PL <nowiki>=</nowiki>1SG vola-ACC.PL three-C.ACC.PL
|'As I (began to) cut the firewood, I saw that my knife was broken'}}
| 'I spent three ''volar'' reading'}}


This differs from usage of the perfective participle, which signals the main action starting at the end of the dependant one, i.e. ''pāsillan cīsus auhēva sartī tūī cōrēssī'' 'having cut the firewood I saw that my knife was broken.'
To denote the amount of time spent on an action, without regard for whether or not the activity was completed or reached its end goal (i.e. atelic action) the essive case is used.  To signify the amount of time spent or necessary to spend to complete an activity (i.e. telic action) the instrumental case is used.


In addition, the essive gerund may be used with the verb ''rēhan'' ('to do') in order to express an attempt, goal, or aim.  In the perfective aspect, this is usually interpreted as a failed attempt.
:{{interlinear | box = yes
| iūvint te harēnae īmau lȳrau
| write.PFV-3PL <nowiki>=</nowiki>1SG letter-ACC.SG one-C.ESS.SG lyra-ESS.SG
| 'I wrote letters for an hour'}}


:{{interlinear | box=yes  
:{{interlinear | box = yes
| rēvō salvan ā vitlās Īliānōvus iuvannū
| iūva te harēna īmārun lȳrārun
| do-PFV-MID.1SG book-ACC.SG over life-ABL.PL Ilian-GEN.PL write-GER.ESS
| write.PFV-C.3SG <nowiki>=</nowiki>1SG letter-ACC.SG one-C.INSTR.SG lyra-INSTR.SG
|'I tried (but failed) to write a book about the lives of the Ilians.'}}
| 'I wrote the letter in an hour'}}


The genitive and dative cases of the gerund are used to express aim, goal, or purpose.  The genitive gerund marks the purpose or use of a noun, whilst the dative gerund marks the purpose of a verb or action.
=== Possession ===


:{{interlinear | box=yes
There are a number of different strategies in Aeranir to signify possession.  Aeranir lacks a [[w:Possession_(linguistics)#Possession_verbs|possession verb]] analogous to English 'to have,' and instead usually signifies possession through different types of [[w:Existential_clause|existential clauses]]. For example, the sentence 'I have a friend' can be expressed by the sentence '''''ēs carīnus tihī''''', which literally means 'there is a friend to me.'
| pea cūran vecunt inceris moñennī
| grow-C.3SG herb-ACC.SG illness-ACC.PL head-GEN.SG heal-GER.GEN
|'They grow an herb for healing illnesses of the head'}}


:{{interlinear | box=yes
The case of the possessor changes depending its relationship with the possessed:
| serue te Caescārin mumae ūī sihinnō pāliōna
| order-PFV.E.3SG <nowiki>=</nowiki>1SG Caescar-ACC.SG mother-ACC.PL their-T.ACC.PL sate-GER.DAT post-DAT.PL
|'I ordered Caescar to the boarder to appease their parents'}}


Furthermore, the dative gerund may be used with the middle voice of the verb ''rēhan'' ('to do') in a similar way to the essive, however in this case denoting intent, plans, will, or conjecture.
* '''Locative case''': used for personal possessions that are currently on the person;


:{{interlinear | box=yes  
:{{interlinear | box = yes
| reor cartō cur Mussiō vannō
| ēs iarius taurātīs
| do-MID.1SG dance-DAT.SG with Mussius-DAT.SG go-GER-DAT

| do-MID.SUBJ.PFV-3SG this-DAT.SG undertaker-NOM.SG come-GER-DAT
|'The undertaker should have come here (they planned to do so)'}}


The ablative and instrumental cases of the gerund can be used to express cause, i.e. 'by doing x,' or 'because x.' The ablative generally marks unintentional or natural causes, whilst the instrumental marks intentional cause.

For metaphorical possession or possession of abstract concepts, such as leadership, power, knowledge, etc., any of these three may be used, for different rhetorical purposes.  For example, using the locative implies an immediacy to the possession; that it is in hand, ready to be usedUsing the dative implies that the possession is not immediate, but rather something that can be drawn upon, perhaps too vast to 'carry' on one personThis can be more humble or polite than the locative.  Using the locative implies that the trait is a fundamental, inalienable, and inherent part of the possessor, rather than something gained or worked for.

Aeranir has a number of ways of expressing [[w:Conditional sentence|conditional sentences]], depending on the type of condition, as well as the register of speech.  Colloquial or spontaneous speech tends to favour the use of finite dependant clauses for the '''''protasis''''' (conditional clause, as opposed to the '''''apodosis''''', or consequence), where as practiced or refined speech, or writing, tend to favour non-finite dependant clauses (this represents a general trend in writing to 'nominalise' all but the most central verb in a sentence, and sometimes the central verb too is made non-finite).

When a non-finite clause is used for a conditional, the verb of the ''protasis'' usually appears in the locative case (an expression of ''time-is-space'' metaphor), unless the two clauses share an argument (e.g. subject, object, etc.) in which case the ''protasis'' takes the same case marking as the shared argument.


:{{interlinear | box = yes
Conditional sentences in Aeranir are formed purely through juxtaposition—that is, the placing of two clauses side by side, the verb of the ''protasis'' moved to clause-final position or put into a non-finite form to mark it as dependant. No conjunctive particles like 'if' or 'when' are required. The ''protasis'' takes the subjunctive mood, whilst the mood of the ''apodosis'' indicates the certainty of the conclusion.  Aspect, meanwhile, can be used to indicate the certainty of the condition.  This distinction may be approximated in English by 'if' versus 'when'
