Triparic Grammar

This is all a draft.

In March 2016 we're cleaning up the language yet again. This time for sure. Presto!

Nouns

Gender

Nouns have no grammatical gender.

Plural

Nouns form their plurals in -s (-es if the singular ends in s, z, x, or sz):

menszes "men" mädins "young women"

Articles and Genitive

We're not sure. Currently der (sing) and les (plur), but I prefer they not look like they came from two different languages. Carrie suggested del/des; Shawn thinks maybe der/des but del is also kinda cool.

Of course, "of" is a problem. If we do Germanic articles, then the genitive needs to be -s, perhaps with an apostrophe, like English. If we do Romance (l-) articles, then d- l- phrases and even contractions like French/Spanish/Italian are options.
