Linguo Articles & Determiners

Linguo articles and determiners are indistinguishable from adjectives, going in the same position and taking the same ending, among other things.

Setum
setum is used to indicate a specific instance of a noun, rather than said noun in general or any of said noun. It is normally translated as this, that, or the. Note that setum doesn't express relative location; nouns in the locative case are needed for that.

Setum also has a pronoun form: set-

Celum
Celum is used in questions to indicate the thing being asked about.

It also has a more common noun form: cel-

Numbers
Numbers are formed by taking the apprpriate roots from the following table and the appropriate ending. If a number is not found on the table, it can be formed as follows:

1. take the number in the one's column, and add the appropriate ending. If it is a zero, it may be ommited.

2. take the number in the ten's column, and precede it with the appropriate number of ten's (with the proper ending). End the ten with -at if a number appears in the next column to the right, and a -um otherwise.

3. repeat step 2. for the rest of the columns, going from right to left, until finished.

4. start at the left-most column, and then add each succesive column to the end of the word. The endings for numerals are as follows: Cardinals are used to express quantity. With all cardinal numerals except uenum, the plural form of the noun should be used. With uenum, the singular must be used.

Ordianals are used to mark nouns for position or rank in a sequential order; the order may be of size, importance, chronology, etc.
