This page serves as the Grammar and Syntax guide for the Tretalleri dialect of the Elfin tongue [[Elle'lyndë]]. It is closely related to the High Elfin dialect—[[Lexicon:Elle'lyndë/Elledyn'ni|Elledyn'ni]].

{{Infobox tretallë}}

This page is meant as a Grammar and Syntax guide as well as lexicon of words for the Tretalleri 'dialect.' Though in modern linguistic parlance, Tretalleri is considered a 'dialect,' it is in fact a full language in and of itself. Tretalleri is only known as a dialect because it, along with the [[Dominion Era/Elledynnë (Culture)|High Elfin]] tongue [[Lexicon:Elle'lyndë/Elledyn'ni|Elledyn'ni]], fall under the blanket term of ''Elle'lyndë''—typically translated as the Language of the Stars. It is important to note that Elle'lyndë is not considered a language in and of itself, except for theorists on the fringes of the Tretalleri linguistics community, who believe Elle'lyndë to be a hypothetical language bridging the two great languages of the Elves, one that is currently being rediscovered in the mixed communities that are allowed to exist in the [[Dominion Era/Locations/Termalttë#The Fen|Fen]].

The most accepted theory is that Tretalleri is descended from a precursor language that it shares in common with Elledyn'ni: Aen{{sub|e}}velyndë, the language of the Great Elves of the East, the Aen{{sub|e}}vë. Because what is known of Aen{{sub|e}}velyndë is limited to only what has been found in fragments of pottery scattered all over the southern regions of [[Dominion Era/Locations#Termalttë|Di'Termalttë]], little is empirically known about the way in which Tretalleri descended from Aen{{sub|e}}velyndë. Legend has it, however, that Tretalleri was a tongue that the [[Dominion Era/The Prophetess|Prophetess Llyrileýwa]] helped the ancestors of the [[Dominion Era/Tretallë (Culture)|Tretallë]] develop in order to maintain the façade that they were little but savage beasts—a façade that helped the building rebellion remain hidden from the [[Aenevë|Aen{{sub|e}}vë]]. What ''is'' widely known is that compared to Aen{{sub|e}}velyndë, Tretalleri is guttural and ''harsh.''

There is only one vowel in Tretalleri and Elle'lyndë that can exist separately from other characters. This is the terminating vowel '''''ë'''''. Unless otherwise prescribed, a compound word in the [[Lexicon:Elle'lyndë|Elfin tongue]] cannot end in a consonant. This is remedied by using the special character, latinized as '''''ë''''' to terminate the word except in the cases where the word is terminated by a consonant-vowel ligature not ending in '''''e'''''.

+
 
 +
In Tretalleri, possession of something by a noun (or a pronoun), is displayed using the prefix " d' " which is placed on whatever it is that is owned. Furthermore, the owned word or phrase ''always'' comes before the noun or pronoun that owns it. That is: '''D'Kordë Cilanannë''' instead of '''Cilanannë D'Korde'''. The former means ''The Emperor's Crown,'' while the latter makes no grammatical sense.
 +
 
 +
Furthermore, a state of possession can be shown using the word '''dirë''' along with certain prefixes. This method comes in handy when describing possession of items that are said to belong to someone else, or ''do'' belong to someone else. For example, '''D'Kaldritë Lertanys s'dirë fitë''' means ''The Mercy of the Stranger is yours.'' This can be chained however many times as necessary, like: '''d'felli byrë dirë matrë dirë teýna siltanë d'kanë idë,''' which means ''The son belonging to the brother belonging to the mother belonging to her is my cousin,'' though this is typically taken to mean ''her mother's brother's son is my cousin.''
 +
 
 +
To denote ''present'' ownership over something, the prefix " <i>sid'</i> " is used instead. Though formally, the prefix is supposed to be " <i>fisid'</i> ", like the word fillë which is always implied unless indicated otherwise, this form is only used if and when there is a contrast being made between past and present ownership. This means that '''Sid'Kordë Cilanannë''' translates to either ''The Crown is the Emperor's'' or ''The Crown belongs to the Emperor.'' In contrast, '''qara d'karra teýna lisi'dirë fitë nelterë fisid'vitti idë''', means ''Perhaps her heart was yours, but now it is mine.''
 +
 
 +
To denote ''past'' ownership, the prefix " <i>lisid'</i> " is used. '''Lisid'Cilthë idë''' means ''The Throne was mine.''
 +
 
 +
To denote ''future'' ownership, the prefix " <i>visid'</i> " is used instead. '''Visid'Tretallë fitë''' means ''The Dominion will be yours.''
 +
 
 +
== Grammatical Number ==
 +
 
 +
In latinized Tretalleri, plurals of an indeterminate number are indicated by a circumflex diacritical marker on the second to the last vowel in the word. For example, '''Trevissi''' means ''Rider'', while '''Trevîssi''' means ''Riders''. Furthermore, the stress on Tretalleri plurals is moved one syllable to the right, compared to the stress on singular Tretalleri words. That is, '''Trevissi''' is pronounced /{{IPA TRE|tre."vis.si}}/ while '''Trevîssi''' is pronounced /{{IPA TRE|tre.vis."si}}/.
 +
 
 +
Tretalleri has three special cases for grammatical number: namely, 0, 3, and 9. All three of these numbers have religious and cultural significance to the Tretallë, and thus have, unsurprisingly, made their way into the language as well. Though not originally the case, Tretalleri has developed constructive states to aid in explicitly delineating these numbers.
 +
 
 +
For cases where there is nothing, the number 0 in Tretalleri, is used in its constructive state '''leral''' and placed before the noun that it modifies. Note, however, that the modified noun must also be in its plural form. That is, the noun has a stress-shift one syllable to the right. The constructive state comes from the word for the numeral 0, '''ler''' and the word for putting together, '''allondë.''' Therefore, '''siltanë leral trevîssi''' means ''there are no riders.''
 +
 
 +
When there are three elements of a particular thing, the number 3 in Tretalleri is used in its constructive state '''tival''' and placed before the noun that it modifies. Like in the 0 case, the noun that is modified must be in its plural form. For example, '''Di'tival Cilanennë satlë Di'Brakhirë Lanakhë''', means ''The Three Kings of the Broken Realm.''
 +
 
 +
Finally, there are two ways to denote the existence of 9 units of something: using the numeral 9, '''tev''' in its constructive state '''teval''' before the noun that it modifies like the three cases prior, ''or'' in the case of objects with some divine significance, using the collective name for the nine gods of the Tretalleri pantheon, '''Nenn''' in its constructive state '''nennal''' before the modified noun. Like before, the modified noun ''must'' be in its plural form. For example, '''Di'teval D'Komdë Siltarë''' means ''The Nine States of Existence'' while '''Di'nennal De'Cilkharra Cilarë''' means ''The Nine Omens of War.''
 +
 
 +
== Punctuation ==
 +
 
 +
In Tretalleri, punctuation is done using special characters in the script. In Latinized Tretalleri, they are represented using two-letter combinations that follow '''`''', which marks a punctuation.
 +
 
 +
'''`za''' means that the block of text prior to it is exclaimed, while '''`zi''' means that the block of text prior to it is said with less conviction or volume than normally. '''`zi''' is typically used to denote hesitation or reluctance in text.
 +
 
 +
'''`na''' is the equivalent of a comma in English, while '''`ne''' is the equivalent of a period, but does not typically denote the end of a sentence.
 +
 
 +
'''`ra''' represents a phonological stop, similar to the one that is made by the colon, semicolon, and em dash, while '''`re''' is a generic character that is used to denote that a block of text has ended, typically used to denote questions.
 +
 
 +
Finally, any text between the marker characters '''β''' is not meant to be taken seriously. Typically, this is used to denote sarcasm, but it can also be used to show that a certain block of text is a rhetorical question.

Verb-subject-object, strictly.
+
Strictly speaking, a written verb phrase in Tretalleri, and Elle'lynd&euml; before it, must always have an actor and an object of the action in the following order <code><modifiers> [verb] <actor-modifiers> [actor] <object-modifiers> [object]</code>, where the angular brackets denote optional parts of the verb phrase. When a verb phrase does not have an actor or an object, syntactically, the '''&zeta;''' character is used to represent the absent actor/object. Furthermore, when both subject and object are missing, but are implied, syntactically, '''&xi;''' is used in their place.

Adverb before word modified.
 
  
−
adjective before word modified.
+
Typically, an adjective precedes the noun or pronoun that it modifies, but there are certain cases wherein this is not the case. The same principle applies to adverbs, which typically precede the adjectives, verbs, or adverbs that they modify. Adverbs, in contrast with adjectives, follow this rule nearly universally. Cases where adverbs follow the modified word are rare, obscure, and certainly considered archaic in modern parlance.
  
 
<nowiki>d'</nowiki> can be used to represent what something is made of. e.g. d'mord&euml; korv&euml; ''a court made of ravens'', more properly, ''a court of ravens''

This page is meant as a Grammar and Syntax guide as well as lexicon of words for the Tretalleri 'dialect.' Though in modern linguistic parlance, Tretalleri is considered a 'dialect,' it is in fact a full language in and of itself. Tretalleri is only known as a dialect because it, along with the High Elfin tongue Elledyn'ni, fall under the blanket term of Elle'lyndë—typically translated as the Language of the Stars. It is important to note that Elle'lyndë is not considered a language in and of itself, except for theorists on the fringes of the Tretalleri linguistics community, who believe Elle'lyndë to be a hypothetical language bridging the two great languages of the Elves, one that is currently being rediscovered in the mixed communities that are allowed to exist in the Fen.

The most accepted theory is that Tretalleri is descended from a precursor language that it shares in common with Elledyn'ni: Aenevelyndë, the language of the Great Elves of the East, the Aenevë. Because what is known of Aenevelyndë is limited to only what has been found in fragments of pottery scattered all over the southern regions of Di'Termalttë, little is empirically known about the way in which Tretalleri descended from Aenevelyndë. Legend has it, however, that Tretalleri was a tongue that the Prophetess Llyrileýwa helped the ancestors of the Tretallë develop in order to maintain the façade that they were little but savage beasts—a façade that helped the building rebellion remain hidden from the Aenevë. What is widely known is that compared to Aenevelyndë, Tretalleri is guttural and harsh.

Alphabet

One of the most important things to note about the alphabet of the Tretalleri dialect, and that of Elle'lyndë in general, is that vowels do not and cannot exist as separate characters. They are used in ligatures with consonants—and only specific ones at that. It is also worth knowing that the vowel y in Elle'lyndë is generally absent in Tretalleri. It is only used in words that have more or less remained identical over the evolution of the dialect from the parent tongue of Elle'lyndë.

Note that the leftmost column lists the consonants while the rest of the table lists the consonant-vowel ligatures that are present in the language.

Consonant a e/y i o u
b ba be/by bi bo
c ca ce ci cu
d da de id/di do du
f fa fe/fy if/fi fu
g ga ge gi gu
h ha hi oh hu
j ja je ji jo
k ak/ka ke/ky ki ko
l al/la el/le/ly li lu lo
m ma me mi mo
n an/na ne/ny ni
p pa pe pi pu
q qa qi qu
r ra er/re/ry ir/ri or ur
s sa se/sy si
t at/ta te/ty ti to
v av/va ve/vy vi vo
w wy wi
ý eý
z za zi zo

Terminal ë

There is only one vowel in Tretalleri and Elle'lyndë that can exist separately from other characters. This is the terminating vowel ë. Unless otherwise prescribed, a compound word in the Elfin tongue cannot end in a consonant. This is remedied by using the special character, latinized as ë to terminate the word except in the cases where the word is terminated by a consonant-vowel ligature not ending in e.

Cases

Possessive

In Tretalleri, possession of something by a noun (or a pronoun), is displayed using the prefix " d' " which is placed on whatever it is that is owned. Furthermore, the owned word or phrase always comes before the noun or pronoun that owns it. That is: D'Kordë Cilanannë instead of Cilanannë D'Korde. The former means The Emperor's Crown, while the latter makes no grammatical sense.

Furthermore, a state of possession can be shown using the word dirë along with certain prefixes. This method comes in handy when describing possession of items that are said to belong to someone else, or do belong to someone else. For example, D'Kaldritë Lertanys s'dirë fitë means The Mercy of the Stranger is yours. This can be chained however many times as necessary, like: d'felli byrë dirë matrë dirë teýna siltanë d'kanë idë, which means The son belonging to the brother belonging to the mother belonging to her is my cousin, though this is typically taken to mean her mother's brother's son is my cousin.

To denote present ownership over something, the prefix " sid' " is used instead. Though formally, the prefix is supposed to be " fisid' ", like the word fillë which is always implied unless indicated otherwise, this form is only used if and when there is a contrast being made between past and present ownership. This means that Sid'Kordë Cilanannë translates to either The Crown is the Emperor's or The Crown belongs to the Emperor. In contrast, qara d'karra teýna lisi'dirë fitë nelterë fisid'vitti idë, means Perhaps her heart was yours, but now it is mine.

To denote past ownership, the prefix " lisid' " is used. Lisid'Cilthë idë means The Throne was mine.

To denote future ownership, the prefix " visid' " is used instead. Visid'Tretallë fitë means The Dominion will be yours.

Grammatical Number

In latinized Tretalleri, plurals of an indeterminate number are indicated by a circumflex diacritical marker on the second to the last vowel in the word. For example, Trevissi means Rider, while Trevîssi means Riders. Furthermore, the stress on Tretalleri plurals is moved one syllable to the right, compared to the stress on singular Tretalleri words. That is, Trevissi is pronounced /tɾɛ.ˈvɪs.sɪ/ while Trevîssi is pronounced /tɾɛ.vɪs.ˈsɪ/.

Tretalleri has three special cases for grammatical number: namely, 0, 3, and 9. All three of these numbers have religious and cultural significance to the Tretallë, and thus have, unsurprisingly, made their way into the language as well. Though not originally the case, Tretalleri has developed constructive states to aid in explicitly delineating these numbers.

For cases where there is nothing, the number 0 in Tretalleri, is used in its constructive state leral and placed before the noun that it modifies. Note, however, that the modified noun must also be in its plural form. That is, the noun has a stress-shift one syllable to the right. The constructive state comes from the word for the numeral 0, ler and the word for putting together, allondë. Therefore, siltanë leral trevîssi means there are no riders.

When there are three elements of a particular thing, the number 3 in Tretalleri is used in its constructive state tival and placed before the noun that it modifies. Like in the 0 case, the noun that is modified must be in its plural form. For example, Di'tival Cilanennë satlë Di'Brakhirë Lanakhë, means The Three Kings of the Broken Realm.

Finally, there are two ways to denote the existence of 9 units of something: using the numeral 9, tev in its constructive state teval before the noun that it modifies like the three cases prior, or in the case of objects with some divine significance, using the collective name for the nine gods of the Tretalleri pantheon, Nenn in its constructive state nennal before the modified noun. Like before, the modified noun must be in its plural form. For example, Di'teval D'Komdë Siltarë means The Nine States of Existence while Di'nennal De'Cilkharra Cilarë means The Nine Omens of War.

Punctuation

In Tretalleri, punctuation is done using special characters in the script. In Latinized Tretalleri, they are represented using two-letter combinations that follow `, which marks a punctuation.

`za means that the block of text prior to it is exclaimed, while `zi means that the block of text prior to it is said with less conviction or volume than normally. `zi is typically used to denote hesitation or reluctance in text.

`na is the equivalent of a comma in English, while `ne is the equivalent of a period, but does not typically denote the end of a sentence.

`ra represents a phonological stop, similar to the one that is made by the colon, semicolon, and em dash, while `re is a generic character that is used to denote that a block of text has ended, typically used to denote questions.

Finally, any text between the marker characters β is not meant to be taken seriously. Typically, this is used to denote sarcasm, but it can also be used to show that a certain block of text is a rhetorical question.

Compound Word Construction

Word Order

Strictly speaking, a written verb phrase in Tretalleri, and Elle'lyndë before it, must always have an actor and an object of the action in the following order <modifiers> [verb] <actor-modifiers> [actor] <object-modifiers> [object], where the angular brackets denote optional parts of the verb phrase. When a verb phrase does not have an actor or an object, syntactically, the ζ character is used to represent the absent actor/object. Furthermore, when both subject and object are missing, but are implied, syntactically, ξ is used in their place.

Typically, an adjective precedes the noun or pronoun that it modifies, but there are certain cases wherein this is not the case. The same principle applies to adverbs, which typically precede the adjectives, verbs, or adverbs that they modify. Adverbs, in contrast with adjectives, follow this rule nearly universally. Cases where adverbs follow the modified word are rare, obscure, and certainly considered archaic in modern parlance.

d' can be used to represent what something is made of. e.g. d'mordë korvë a court made of ravens, more properly, a court of ravens

s' is used to represent the be-verb. Always applies to the subject/s, e.g. taterë ankë s'Teýna, she is trembling

except when expressing possession, in which case the compound prefix sid' is used, instead, and is applied to the possessed object/s. e.g. sid'zanno Idë this[inanimate] is mine
