I forgot to give an interlinear, here it is:
Eru annent nil`g; Eru annat bas.
AGT.God give-PAST tooth.PL AGT.God give-FUT bread
Not really much "weirdness" in it, I have to admit. Nur-ellen, apart
from
being an active language, is quite "tame".
AGT agentive case
PAST past tense (-ent)
FUT future tense (-at)
PL plural
The singular of _nil`g_ is _nel`g_; both _nil`g_ and _bas_ are in
objective case,
which is the only case these nouns can occur in because they are
inanimate.
The word _Eru_ means something like "The One"; it can only be used for a
monotheistic deity and doesn't have a plural. "A god" would be _baln_,
"gods" _beln_, literally "powers".
Syld,
