Welcome to the
Tlhasa (Kaswu, Hazasye Swureto) grammar article, where I'll be dumping random information as I think of it.Hazashi is written in an abugida called Kagehya [kageçə]. It is primarily written on paper with ink and flat brushes. Literacy rates in Hazasye are poor (12-15%) and writing is mostly used by the clergy and upper class.
Hazashi makes a distinction between alienable and inalienable possession.
Alienable constructions make use of a suffix and alienable particle, as well as the construct case on the possessed noun - this is used for the majority of situations.
Alienable
Ko-u ni wannu-ka tai.
/ko̞ʉ ni ɰannʉka tai/
1SFirst person singular (person)
speaker, signer, etc.; I-GENGenitive (case)
possessive GENGenitive (case)
possessive.ALAlienable (possession)
thing that can be gained or lost dog-CNSConstruct state
noun being possessed big
My dog is big.
Inalienable constructions only use the plain genitive suffix and construct case (optionally) - inalienable nouns include body parts, family members, etc., but are also context-dependent (if you don't like a certain family member, you might use the alienable construction to show this without explicitly stating it).
Inalienable
Magne-u hise-ka m-ap-uda-nna gat-e unmi.
/magnɛʉ hisɛka mapʉdanna gatɛ ʉnmi/
Magne-GENGenitive (case)
