About Aethi
Just a somewhat lazy artlang for a constructed world I am creating, designed to be transplantable to most sci-fi universes.
Word order and syntax largely come from English, with a few quirks thrown in - there is no definite article, prepositional phrases typically come first, adjectives/adverbs both go directly after what they modify and there is no formal distinction between the two, there are a few particles/marking auxiliaries, and verbs inflect for more things.
