Mikulak: Difference between revisions

The dominant spoken Mikulak language is largely agglutinative, adding syllables to words to form new words with different properties. For ease, I've been indicating this with apostrophes, although one could reasonably leave them out. Here's some basic grammar around one of the major root words: rosh.

rosh is a being; it can be used where we might use 'man' or 'woman' or 'he' or 'she'. It doesn't have any gender or other such implication to it; there were debates amongst the Mikulak people in the past as to whether aliens were rosh, or whether animals were, et cetera. It is a positive term, and implies wholeness. It is neither plural nor singular in its root form. When incorporating it into an english sentence, one would say "I am rosh" or "he is rosh", and never "I am a rosh". (Although such sentences would generally be considered tautological.)
