Stonebreaker Language/Grammar/Prepositions

Prepositions

Work in Progress These are the little words like 'on', 'in', 'at' In the generic sense, these are more correctly referred to as 'adpositions'. In English, they can be used to modify a verb or noun or to complement verbs, nouns, adjectives or other adpositions.

In Stonebreaker, adpositions tend to be used to modify verbs, creating a phrasal verb [add link here]. Examples include: Imidna: to go in Sulmisna: To put on Kumvenna: to come together.

Cases

The scope of the preposition is modified by tbe case of the object of the sentence. Where movement is indicated (for example into, out of, through) the Dative case is used. Where there is no movement or the preposition describes the status of the object, the Ablative or Instrumental case is used.

Examples:

Arka imid Barldomol (Dative): Arka goes into the Tavern

Arka ei im Barldomom (Ablative): Arka is in the Tavern
