About South Jutean
Spoken in South Jute, descendant of Middle Jutean
Three noun classes:
"Earth" for everything mundane and related to solid ground, most everyday things in general
"Sky" for everything in the air and abstract or immaterial things and concepts
"Water" for everything in the sea, a river etc. and anything religious and festive
Also notable for using construct states rather than genitives, formed by adding -a to the possessed noun.
Grammaticalized, regular nominalization of verbs is done with zero derivation or, in some cases (emphasis, augmentation etc.) the immaterial/abstract suffix -i.
