'''Gathrín''' is an ''a priori'' language inspired by Celtic languages. As such, it features extensive vowel and consonant mutations, as well as a relatively complex inflectional system. Its phonetic system is also remarkable in having up to four varieties of one phoneme.

===Mutations===
====Consonant mutations====
Similar to Cletic languages, nouns in Gathrírn undergo several types of mutations. There are six consonant-initial mutations: fricativisation, palatalisation, labialisation, voicing, devoicing, and nasalisation or mixed type. Word-final consonants also change.

=== Nouns ===
Nouns in Gathrírn have three numbers (singular, dual, plural) and five cases (nominative, genitive, dative, accusative, locative). There are four declensions.
 
The basic paradigm of suffixes is regular:
{| border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="1" class="bluetable lightbluebg" style="width: 450px; text-align:center;"
! style="width: 90px" | Case !! style="width: 90px" | Singular !! style="width: 90px" | Dual !! style="width: 90px" |Plural
|-
! Nominative
| -Ø || -is || -(V<sub>mut.</sub>)-Ø
|-
! Genitive
| -ur || -urh || -(V<sub>mut.</sub>)-ur
|-
! Dative
| -en || -enh || -(V<sub>mut.</sub>)-en
|-
! Accusative
| -er || -erh || -(V<sub>mut.</sub>)-er
|-
! Locative
| -on || -olh || -(V<sub>mut.</sub>)-on
|}

=== Adjectives ===
Adjectives typically end in one of the four adjectival endings: '''-eg''', '''-it''', '''-in''' (passive participle), or '''-aic''' active participles). The first three types also form comparative and superlative forms but the last types cannot. As expected, adjectives decline and have to agree with the noun in number and case.
