Charting Aril
Tedious, of course, but necessary. Charts of the cases (as defined so far; remember, it's a daldum (mess)), and the declensions they belong to.
First Declension-Most words ending in vowels.
Second Declension-Most words ending in consonants.
Third Declension-Words with an 'i' in the stressed syllable.
Fourth Declension-Words ending in an 'r' or 'l;' not verbs.
Fifth Declension-"General" nouns (such as water, air, light, etc.)
Conjugating the Verbs
Not nearly complete. But what I have so far:
Simple Present Tense, Indicative Mood-Runs, dances, sings, and so on.
Present Tense, Indicative Mood, Progressive Aspect-Is running, is dancing,, is singing, and the like.
Past Tense, Indicative Mood, Perfect Aspect--The equivalent of the preterite tense in Spanish. Actions done only one, the present perfect, etc.
Imperfect Tense, Indicative Mood, Progressive Aspect--I was working...
Simple Future Tense, Indicative Mood-I will work... on this webpage in the future, for sure.
Future Tense, Indicative Mood, Progressive Aspect--I will be working...
Future Tense, Indicative Mood, Perfect Aspect-I will have worked...
Imperative Mood-Commands and the like (the biggest mess).
Endurative Tense-When something will last forever. This probably has a technical name, but I haven't figured out what it is yet.
Subjunctive Mood-Such as it is.
The Negative Mood-Negating all that has come before.
