Aoma: Difference between revisions

Line 368:

Genitive forms of nouns do not agree with all of their heads' forms, only the gender and number. In older grammar, they would act like adjectives ending in ''i'', but due to confusion with some true adjectives, they are nowadays left more uninflected.

If a noun stem ends with a vowel, dative endings for SG & PL are the following: ''näe'' & ''nöe'' (Div), ''wie'' & ''yhee'' (M), ''wee'' & ''uhee'' (F), ''jee'' & ''jei'' (N). ''Oma|i'' (coast), ''omajee'' (DAT to the coast) to avoid confucion with other genders. Feminine plural genitive ending is ''wur''.

On top of the five basic cases, Aoma has got two partial cases:

*Some locative forms ending in ''xu'' exist: ''ketixu'' (in the town), ''gehixu'' (in the house, at home)

**There is also a form ''ogehixu'' which means "outside the house"

*Divine gender has some time nouns with temporal cases and so many other specialities that they once formed their own gender (something between Div & N).

*Divine gender has some time nouns with temporal cases and so many other specialities that they once formed their own gender (something between Div & N): ''hala'' (day), ''öhäly'' (night, Div in other forms), ''rola'' (the previous day, yesterday), ''nala'' (the next day, tomorrow)

**Definite temporals ''(h)alaax'' "today" and ''haloox'' "during daytime"

**Definite temporals ''(h)alaax'' "today" and ''haloox'' "every day" or "during daytime" (habitual)
