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, Jörg.
