2.0 Morphology

2.1 Nouns

2.1.1 Cases

Active experiencer	Stative experiencer
Agent	Patient

AGENTIVE describes the left collumn, PATIENTIVE describes the right. E.g, "John swerved" would be AG, as he has active control over the situation. "the Window broke" would be PAT, as the window itself is a static experiencer. In ditransitive and tritransitive sentences, the nouns may be marked with any combination of these. For example, "I [AG] spoke with Alice [AG]", as both parties involved had an active participation. Conversely, "I [PAT] crashed into Bob's Car [PAT]", as neither were actively participating.
Used to show a relationship, commonly: ownership, composition, reference, description, etc. Roughly speaking, any time a phrase can be worded "X of Y" in English, such as "The house of John", "three head of corn" or "the edge of the table", this case will be used on the noun.
This can be used for things such as at/on/in/near an object. This can also be used for time, for example "I [AG] will see you [PAT] on Wednesday [LOC]. This can be supplimented with particles, but can just as often be implied by the sentence context. For example, "the cat [AG] sat here [PAT] my lap [LOC]" makes sense, even without the addition of "on"
Using, or in the company of. e.g, "John [AG] broke the window [PAT] with (using) the rock [INS]", or "John [AG] broke the window [PAT] with (alongside) Charlie[INS]"

2.1.2 Noun Classes

In some cases, dropping a noun from Class I to II, or from III to IV is reasonably equivalent to forming a diminutive of that noun. A common example of this is Class I "Fire, mass of flames", vs Class II "spark, individual flame (as in, of a candle), a flicker". It is also common for a Class II or IV form to have historically been a diminutive of a Class I or II form respectively, but have lost this distinction over time.

2.1.3 Plurality

Ikxentika has four forms of plurality that can be used:
This is sometimes used as an "unknown amount", though this is generally seen as archaic, or overly polite. It can be found in more formal settings, where a host may say something like "I hope the guest._sing enjoy the night". Here, it is implied that there is definitely more than one guest to the event. However, it is speaking metaphorically as if only to one specific guest, as if that one guest was the only one that mattered.
The singular form is used as a proxy to articles such as "a" or "the". For example, if one were to say "pass me pen._sing", it would be the equivalent of saying "pass me a pen" or "pass me the pen" depending on context. It can also be supplimented by making reference to the location, i.e, "Pass me pen_sing over there" would mean "pass me that pen"
Inanimate words (Class III & IV) do not have a paucal or plural form. They can still be discussed in the plural, but this will be unmarked, even without a distinct number.
e.g, "Cat._paucal" would mean a few cats, but you don't know for certain. If you did know there were exactly three cats, it would be "3 Cat" with no marking.
2.1.4 Augmentatives
Diminutives (small, affection)
Augmentatives (big, honour)
Despectives (distain)
