Evvānsk uses a mixture of fusional and agglutinative conjugation and declension schemes which can't always be separated down further into morphemes, but other times can. When a morpheme contains grammatical information that isn't clear from the sum of its parts, it is glossed with a dash in between - ič eom would be glossed as 1S be-1S. However, if a word can be broken down into further morphemes, these morphemes are separated by periods in the gloss: ič sprikke would be glossed as 1S speak.1S.
Similarly, when the semantic value of a word needs to be expressed using multiple English words in the gloss, they too are separated by dashes - take, for example, heidu, glossed as be-called.INF.
The following abbreviations are used for glosses in Evvānsk; some are slightly different than those used in convention for the sake of brevity.
