Comment to the above smooth translation
[1] A strict Padraicification would have demanded "Before today" since the original states "above today" and above == before in Taruven.
Grammar
- Articles (the, a): none
- Copula: There isn't one.
- Compounds: yes
- Word order: Free. All noun-phrases but the subject carry a case-suffix. Non-verbs without a case-suffix are therefore either subjects or modifying the words that follows, until a case-marker is reached. Case-markers include {-aþ}, {-ið], {-es}
- Number-suffixes: always comes last on a noun
- To have: no such verb exists. However, "X has Y" can be gotten through "Xes Yru", "X is the location of Y", or the verb for carry, {segh}, can be used.
- Location: A location is marked by {-es} (the most general, meaning near, by) or other location markers (none used here). The thing that is located is *also* marked, with {-ru}, unless it is the entire sentence that is placed somewhere. So, {duaþru thannes} means "man on road" or "man is on the road"
- Possession: Bodyparts are inalienably possessed: ysyé "3rd person's neck", duaþ-jï-syé "his neck"
- Vexp, experiencer-verbs: The subjects of experiencer-verbs are marked with {-el}. The object of an experiencer-verb is either a noun-phrase marked with {-ið}, or a clause. Experiencer-verbs are used instead of the complement-"that" of English.
- Indirect object: used either as sole constituent after an experiencer verb or to mark benefactor of an action (any verb) or as indirect object for a ditransitive verb.
- Passive: verb prefixed with y-, *but* the object doesn't change into a subject, it just allows the subject to be removed/understood by context
- Relative clauses: there are two types: those starting with a verb prefixed with {u-} and those starting with a verb and ending with {tal} or a compound ending in {tal}. duaþel uuleìne "The man who _ sings" thann džin vy restal "The road that they travel on _"
- Object incorporation: all verbs may incorporate their object (marked with {-aþ}) : raha faaþ -> rahafa.
