=== Cases ===

Skylandic has five cases — namely, ergative, intransitive, accusative, dative and ''genitive''.

Skylandic is a '''''tripartite language''''', thus, it has five cases — namely, ergative, intransitive, accusative, dative and ''genitive''.

<big> A. Ergative Case (ERG) </big>

The ERG case is used in marking the agent of a transitive verb and the subject of a relative clause. Depending on the noun's spelling, the nouns form their singular ERG form as follows:

'''1.''' If the noun ends in a silent -e, it ~~don~~'t really change form.

'''1.''' If the noun ends in a silent -e, it doesn't really change form.

Trive ''tree'' → Trive

'''2.''' If the noun ends with a silent consonant, a silent -e is added.

Lant [lɑ̃] ''country'' → Lant'''e''' [lɑ̃t]

'''3.''' If the noun ends in a consonant phoneme

'''3.''' If the noun ends in a consonant phoneme, the suffix -ée is added.

Bouch [buɕ] ''book'' → Bouch'''ée''' [bu.ɕe]

<big> B. Intransitive Case (INTR) </big>

The INTR case is the dictionary form of the nouns. It is used in marking the lone argument (subject) of an intransitive verb. Lone nouns in books and plays are usually in this case. Even if the verb can be transitive, as long as no direct object is present in the sentence, the subject still declines in INTR case.
