The grammar is starting to come into some sort of coherence by now. Let's continue...

21. ya=jáń-an śéy pa-pánd-a.
the=rain-ABS now PERF-stop-NONPAST
"Ya jáńan śéy papánda."
"The rain has stopped."

Normally a nonpast perfective has a future sense; but a more natural rendering in CQ would use an adverb, such as śéy "now", to limit the scope of the verb to the present. This can be used for actions with perfective aspect which have happened extremely recently.

22. ya=jáń-an áta pa-pánd-a.
the=rain-ABS soon PERF-stop-NONPAST
"Ya jáńan áta papánda."
"Soon the rain will stop."

By switching śéy "now", which indicates a strictly present occurence, for áta "soon", the normal future sense of the nonpast perfective returns.

23. Nǽq ŋak ya=jáń-an áta pand-ań-á-mæn łêx-æ.
1s that the=rain-ABS soon stop-SUBJ-NONPAST-UNACT.PARTCPL.INANIM hope-NONPAST.
"Nǽq ŋak ya jáńan áta pandámæn łéxæ."
"I hope the rain stops soon."

We've discovered our first personal pronoun, nǽq "I." Here's a larger table.

	Singular	Plural
1	nǽq	xêm
1st inclusive	——-	xêwam
2nd	gú	báy
3rd animate	ćén	ṣák
3rd inanimate	wâń	wâń

These have no case forms, and take the normal state suffixes.

We have also met our first subordinate clause, and our first non-indicative mood. Let's take a look at what's going on.

ŋak is one of three particles that can introduce a subordinate object clause. It is used with verbs of thinking or thought (nćek is used with verbs of perceiving or sensing, and qæk with verbs of saying; the -k found on all three particles is a reduced form of the accusative case marker ko.)

Because it is unclear that the verb will necessarily happen, the verb must be in the subjunctive/irrealis mood. The marker for this is ań/eń (harmonizing with the root vowel); it is placed between the stem and the tense marker. If it appears, a following nonpast tense marker does not need to agree in vowel frontness with the stem and remains a even for front-vowel stems.

For contract verbs, the subjunctive marker reduces to ń, and the tense marker will have to agree.

Verbs in this sort of subordinate clause are turned into participles (this is why participles can have mood and tense).

The verb clause appears in the normal object position. The main verb is unextraordinary.

24. di=łǽŋ nkómo áḍa wás-i.
the.PL=wild.animal here once live-PAST
"Di łǽŋ nkómo áḍa wási."
"Once, wild animals lived here."

Classical Quazian makes a rigorous distinction between łǽŋ "wild animal" and ćâ "domestic animal". The derived term łúnæŋ "animal" (the -un- infix essentially serves as a derivation meaning "-oid" or "-like") may however be used, especially in technical works related to biology.

áḍa "at one time" comes after nkómp "here"; where a locative and a temporal adverb are both being used, the locative comes first, then the temporal adverb.

25. ćén uhu-mǽnæ-t ngáq-u núm-i
3s.AN be.slow-UNACC.PARTCPL.ANIM-SG around-ADV see-PAST
"Ćén uhumǽnæt ngáqu númi."
"Slowly she looked around."

Classical Quazian makes no gender distinction in pronouns.

The participle of úhu- "to be slow" is in adverbial position (but agrees in animacy and number with ćén).

The verbal root núm "to look, to see" takes an additional adverb, ngáqu (from the postposition ngaq "on both sides, on all sides") to narrow its scope. Classical Quazian does not allow postpositions to compound with verbs (like invenio from venio) or to form set phrases with them (like go under), so it must use adverbs formed from postpositions.

26. me-mpeḍ-é!
PERF-leave.by.foot-IMP
"Mempeḍé!"
"Go away!"

The imperative is not really a full form of its own. If the verb root is allowed by the rules of phonotactics to stand alone, it will do just that: ḍeḍîk! Jump!. Otherwise, it will take the nonpast tense marker and shift its stress onto it, as shown here. The perfective is used; if the imperfective were used here the speaker would specifically be ordering the listener to leave and keep going.

The target of an imperative is considered by the verb to be absolutive. For transitive verbs, it is more useful to use the antipassive, and put the "object" into an postpositional phrase with the postposition wir "against". (This can be used for non-imperatives, too, where the focus is on the agent, not the patient, if an antipassive is used.) This is sort of a flipped version of English "the door was opened by me."

27. xêwam me-mpeḍ-ód-a!
1P.INCL PERF-leave.by.foot-OPT-NONPAST
"Xêwam mempeḍóda!"
"Let's go!"

For "inclusive" commands such as "Let's go!", the optative mood is used. Its marker is -od- placed in the same place as the subjunctive marker. Like the subjunctive marker, because it comes between the root and the tense marker, the tense marker is no longer affected by the stem and is always a in the nonpast.

When contract verbs are in the optative, the optative marker reduces to -d-. As in the subjunctive, the loss of the mood marker vowel allows the verb stem to once again influence the nonpast tense marker.

28. gú me-mpeḍ-e-mǽnæ-t dey-ôd-a.
2S PERF-leave.by.foot-UNACC.PARTCPL.ANIM-SG must-OPT-NONPAST
"Gú mempeḍemǽnæt deyôda."
"You should go."

Unlike in many languages of Europe, the optative, not the subjunctive/irrealis, is used to soften commands, probably by analogy with sentences like 27). Here, the command in question applies to dêy-, an auxiliary verb meaning, essentially, "must".

29. nǽq ni-me-mpeḍ-e-máq-Ø lhek woł-ûṣ-a.
1s my-PERF-leave.by.foot-NONPAST-GERUND-CONST in be.happy-COND-NONPAST
"Nǽq nimempeḍemáq lhek wołûṣa.
"I will be happy to go."

[Adjective] to [Verb] constructions in English can be confusing, as they're a conflation of several different types of semantic relations:

-a description of the head noun as the object of the infinitive (This car is easy to drive);
-a description of the head noun as the subject of the infinitive (He is worthy of leading/worthy to lead);
-an emotional state relating to the verb (I am sad to go).

This sentence is clearly an example of the third type of construction (We will deal with the first two later on). The main verb is the emotional state (I am happy) placed into the conditional mood (ending: -uṣ-, or -ṣ- in contract verbs; the same rules about influencing the tense marker apply in the conditional as applied in the subjunctive and optative), while the English infinitive is transformed into a gerund (ending: -maq), possessed by its absolutive argument, and finally put into a postpositional phrase with lhek.

The conditional is always used in this type of construction, even if it's not in doubt that the speaker will go. If it were hypothetical or uncertain, the participle would be conditional or subjunctive mood as well.

A similar, albeit very stilted-sounding, construction can appear in English, too: I, in my going, would be happy. The Classical Quazian version can do something English can't, too, in that it need not be one's own going that is the cause of happiness. *I am happy you to go makes no sense in English, but changing nimempeḍemáq to gimempeḍemáq in CQ is a perfectly normal construction, and indicates that the cause of joy is the listener's leaving, not the speaker's.

30. ćén áta na-náh-a.
3S soon PERF-arrive.by.foot-NONPAST
"Ćén áta nanáha."
"He will arrive soon."

There is nothing in this sentence that has not been explained prior. (A first!)
