Etymology
Etymology of Creation: Out of the nostratic dictionary I have, it shows: "*yV, particle of hypocoristic (?) address (vocative) > IE: NaIE *-yo-/*-iyo-, a diminutive suffix." But having a vocative address seemed like a good place to start for a vocative particle. Changed yi to yigh to match sime. Thought it still felt a little too on the nose like yee, so went to look at thou in nostratic and got "*t'{'{u4}4} (> *t'i) 'thou' > IE: [1] NaIE *tu2 nom. 'thou' and possibly *tw-om id., AnIE *ti 'thou' nom. [2] IE *twe and *te 'thee', *tu-
2667 /*twe-/*teuÄ-/*te- (+ case markers or without them) functioning as the stem of the prn. of 2s" So added the t to the end for yight, witch felt to me like it could be a relative without it feeling too close. Notes
ʄaɪtʰ is a case particle denoting the vocative case. It represents that the speaker is addressing a listener directly.
In sentence construction case particles must come either between the Verb and the Subject or between the Subject and the Object. Proper sentence construction is VCSCO, where V represents verb, C represents case particle, S represents subject, and O represents object.
Case particles always denote the relationship between the parts of the sentence they come between. The particle between verb and subject tells how the verb is done by the subject. The particle between subject and object tells how the subject treats the object.
