t When you ask your mother from the Great-Lands to make the choicest of meals, perhaps she shall speak with you thus: “You need beef, potatoes, onions, butter, oil, water, salt, pepper-powder, flavouring of the East, hot sauce and finally oat-powder. You chop the meat and potatoes and onions into the smallest of portions and then into this, you place a bit of the salt and pepper-powder. Then, you make dough using the oat-powder and salt and butter and pepper-powder and flavouring and also the sauce, and then fill the dough with the meat mixture. In the Great-Lands it is named “turnip-cake”. Then, put the turnip-cake in oil and water and cook it till boiling. Rejoice and Eat! |
Grammar |

Spelling Rule
ë > -ei- before any consonant
Lenition/Mutation
Some sounds change when preceded by a certain few words or sometimes in compounds, in which case the sense of the case of first noun in the chain applies to all subsequent nouns.
- t > ss /s/
- g > ng /N/
- p > ph /f/
- s > s /s/ > /s./ (dental to apical)
- f > hw /hw/
- k > .. /zero/
Syntax
- Adjectives follow nouns
- Commitative case is used sometimes to link nouns in a relation expressed in English by the use of “and”
- The adjectival superlative is most often found after a noun plus the enclitive particle –ksi. This combination may be translated: “the X-est of Y” or “the X-est Y”, where the X is an adjective and the Y is a noun.
Adjectives
| comparative | -yo |
| superlative | -do, -to, -sso |
Verbs
Tense Suffixes
present/aorist: -a, -o, -u, -e, -i (usually according to the vowel of the root)
Verbs with a stem ending in a vowel take no suffix (usually).
imperative: -ë
subjunctive: -i
optative/future: -e
Personal Suffixes (these follow the tense suffixes)
| 1s | -si |
| 2s | -lë |
| 3s | -n (with accent immediately preceding) |
| 1p | -na |
| 2p | -nta |
| 3p | -ntë (or -nto) |
object suffixes (these follow the personal suffixes)
| 1s | -sis |
| 2s | -li |
| 3s | masculine: -o, feminine -ië |
| 1p | -na / -syass |
| 2p | -nass |
| 3p | -ssa / -ta |
(3rd person object suffixes are usually used resumptively with an object noun at least in High Silindion. The –o of the masculine 3s becomes –u when attached to an original –o. The original –o then drops out)
Infinitive: -iello, -eallo, -ollo, -llë, etc.
Further Notes on Verbs
Stems ending orthographically in an upper case consonant indicate a "changeable stem”. This means that word internal mutation/lenition occurs when the consonant is flanked by vowels.
Oblique Pronouns
These have a special declension in Silindion, with a few special case endings.
| accusative | -ti |
| dative | -ni |
| ablative | -lim |
| locative | -vi |
| commitative | -ma |
| allative | -na |
| etc. |
(metathesis occurs when applying case endings beginning with /l/, /n/ or /m/ to an oblique stem ending in a consonant)
