Grammar
Yaegarit is a highly inflected agglutinative language. Articles, adjectives, nouns, and genitives are all combined into one word in the given order. There are six cases (absolutive, ergative, genitive, dative, locative, and vocative), three numbers (singular, dual, and plural), three classes (humans, demons, and all other nouns), and four moods (indicative, interrogative, imperative, and jussive). Yaegarit has subject-object-verb basic word order. Nouns: Nouns have three different endings for number: -a (singular), -ë (dual), and -i (plural). They also have endings for cases other than absolutive and vocative, which are placed after the number endings: -g (ergative), -t (genitive), -r (dative), and -z (locative). In vocative case, there are no case endings or number endings.
Verbs: Verb have three different prefixes for mood: t'- (imperative), ḫ'- (interrogative), and k' (jussive). Indicative verbs have no prefixes. They are also inflected for class (of the subject): -ø for humans, -ȯ for demons, and -æ for all other nouns. Yaegarit verbs are inflected for four tenses with suffixes: remote past (-ðuš), recent past (-ð), present (-p), and future (-ɡ̇).
Adjectives: Adjectives are usually placed as uninflected suffixes to nouns. However, predicative adjectives are placed as their own words.
