===Subject and Object Markers===
Sometimes, a subject or object can stand on its own following a verb. However, this can create some ambiguity, as Mevdarian syntax follows the order Verb-Object-Subject. This is where subject and object markers can come in.
*Subject: -(')ak /(ʔ)ɑk/ → -ak /ak/
*Object: -(')ek /(ʔ)ɛk/ → -ek /ek/
In formal speech, the subject is required. However, in informal speech, the subject is often implied through context and thus can be omitted. Thus, object markers are typically employed in informal speech and commands.
Subject Examples:
*Oþānman íja'ak. "I ran." → Þānmyn ijak. (formal)
*Z'āþ þahqör ðu'ak. "You must remember." → Zāðak þakōr. (formal)
*Ḳavosmeṫr ēṫonak. "They're talking." → Kavmyt etonak. (formal)
Object Examples:
*Þahqör ója'ek. "Remember me." → Þakōr ojek. (imperative)
*Y'amameṫr hō'ek. "[Subject] understands him." → Iamyt ēk. (informal)
*Caruðomona hocek? "[Does Subject] love her?" → Kyðon okek? (informal)
===Genitive Indicator===
A noun becomes genitive (i.e. showing possession or relationship) when the suffix -i /i/ is added to the root noun. Any corresponding pronouns will also take on the genitive form.
Examples:
*Zax ijar òsi jak. "This is my home." → Zax ijr osi jak.
*Zax ður lūkejnāði krras? "Where is your friend?" → Zax ður lūjnāði kras?
*Caruðomo ēṫonur miþkoþoni íja. "I hate their solutions." → Kyðom etynyr miþoþni ij.
==Adverbs==
Adverbs can be derived from nouns, adjectives, and other adverbs. In all cases, the adverb is marked with the following prefix:
*kla- /klɑ/ → la- /la/
:From an adjective: e.g. klacúðqēkjēìa "robotically" → lakukja
:From a noun: e.g. klapyrrozyk "loyally" → laprosk
For 2nd-order adverbs (i.e. adverbs derived from other adverbs), the following suffix is added alongside the aforementioned prefix:
*-(')olo /(ʔ)ʌlʌ/ → -ol /ol/
This makes it into a superlative. The glottal stop [ʔ] was historically used in Old Mevdarian if the attached adverb ended in a vowel. However, the phoneme fell out of use by the development of Modern Mevdarian.
:e.g. klaqalmérre'olo "very"-superlative → lakalmarol
:e.g. klakanīrolo "surprisingly"-superlative → laknirol
==Numbers==
Mevdarian uses a base-13 counting system.
*ā /ɑː/ 1
*pa /pɑ/ 2
*ka /kɑ/ 3
*ta /tɑ/ 4
*ea /ɛ.ɑ/ 5
*va /vɑ/ 6
*ha /xɑ/ 7 → a /a/
*ia /i.ɑ/ 8 → /ja/
*ja /ʒɑ/ 9
*la /lɑ/ 10
*ma /mɑ/ 11
*na /nɑ/ 12
*äleq /ˈɑːlɛq/ adj. 13 → ālk /ˈaːlk/
