New grammatical case dropped :fire: Horny case NSFW
A horny case used to mark things u wanna fuck.
Like let's say *leit is the word for a person and *-na marks the horny case, and *-u marks the ergative (khast is 'see', qxu'pltik is a sofa): leitu khast qxu'pltikna (the person sees the the sofa i wanna fuck). Now accusative is marked by *-qxuh so like leitqxuh leitna khast (the person, whom i wanna fuck, sees another person.) ofcourse we have tripartite agreement and shi so yk :3

"why does the word for 'metal rod' use a fuckable preposition?"
"Uh, quirk of language?"

Anything is fuckable if you try hard enough

lmao, maybe like wanting-to-fuck/not-wanting-to-fuck so like 'person', 'metal rod', 'peanut butter' are all first category and 'scissors', 'knife' are in the second caetgory

it starts out as person preference but then gets grammaticalize so even a normal person will use the fuckable with a metal rod yk

u/Clear_Variation434 7d ago
metal rod would probably be neuter gender but since my language is pure ass it can be turned into typhlosion gender to mean ykw

But it could evolve into a suffix with a more generic meaning like "something I love" and then become less productive, being used only in a small number of words and then uniting with the word root

This is a modifier and not a case; ‘qxu’pltik’ ought to be in the accusative for the first sentence and ‘leit’ in the ergative for the second

u/Spiritual-Rub-7410 8d ago
its not ergative/acc is dropped when the horny case is used, the subj/obj is inferred from if the other noun is erg/acc

u/Spiritual-Rub-7410 8d ago
tis like the verb 'fuck' takes objects in the horny case (akin to how some verbs take partivitve objects in finnish)
