# Parts of Speech

This chapter describe behaviors of different parts of speech that can't be just
simply ported from German, mostly morphology.

## Noun

While having the same number of cases and gender, Isanercent has less noun
patterns compared to German (only four):

- plosive ending (e.g. *ki bǔt*, house)
- sonorant and vowel ending (e.g. *ke tann*, table)
- fricative (e.g. *ka münsch*, mouse)

In plural form,

- plosive ending: add a schwa and the first vowel is umlauted: *kin bütte*
- sonorant ending: add an -en ending: *kin tannen*
- fricative ending: add a -er ending: *kin münscher*

Just like in German, those ending in -e and -er are weak and is added -n in
dative case and accusative case, e.g. *kim bütten*, *kir münschern*.

## Verb
## Adjective
## Pronoun

articles for feminine and plural nouns.

  - masculine: *ke*
  - neuter: *ki*
  - feminine: *ka*
  - plural: *kin*

  - plural: *kir*
