Doravo off the map.. With all the nations that appeared and disappeared over time, the map makers among us could perhaps create a database of maps made for this region, listing which are currently 'in use' and the ones that are available to be reused.
Chuuṣoostee uses the word order Subject-Object-Oblique-Verb. Adjectives are before the noun, for most cases except for number placement(i:e first, last)For example, the sentence, "Great Visqua hanged the traitors with barbed wire" would be "Great Visqua the traitors with barbed wire hanged." or "The first dead man was buried in Ghorthiid." would be "The dead man first in Ghorthiid was buried."
Articles include: rhu (the) and buh(a, an)
The word for you is "dzii", us/we is "dziu", and he/she is "dzie/dziei". I is "dzier". Feminine nouns have an "i" at the end of them. For example, a female cook is an "iichyi" whilst a male one is an "iichy". To indicate possessiveness, a "ne" is added at the very end of the word that is possessed, for example, a female cook that you own is called an "iichyine". There are words that also indicate possessiveness, such as his(deeg) and her(mud'), but they still follow the "ne" rule. Past participles use the prefix -ko on the verb. For example, "His cook was dead." in Chuuṣoostee would be "Deeg iichyne kochyaagbuuspooptii.
To make a proper noun into an adjective, it must follow the word that it describes, along with the preposition "hu", often translated as "of." For example, one of Remodio's leading tourist destinations is "Rhu Dejaa hu Bruuit", or "The Grave of Bruuit". A noun may become an adjective by adding -lai at the end of it. "Nation" to "national" would be "taa'zi" to "t'aazilai".
To negate a verb, you simply put sh' in front of the verb(the word for no is shuri). In terms of past-tense negative words, the "ko-" prefix always come before the "sh'-" prefix. For example, in order to say "I wasn't his friend.", it would be "Dzier deeg nuch kosh'dhii."
To make a word, it depends on if it ends with a vowel or a consonant. Words that end with consonants add the suffix "-iez". Vowels add the suffix "-tez". For example, multiple potions would be "jishiez", but multiple periods of time are "pipaapatez"
Numbers 0 = ukpe 1 = guu 2 = braa 3 = 'jembuu 4 = aa'j 5 = 'ziiv 6 = chyii 7 = shiib' 8 = prok 9 = naambii Double digit and up are just the words put together, Chuuṣoostee keeps it simple. For example, 42,069 would be aa'j-braa-ukpe-chyii-naambii. Fun fact, until 1977, writing numbers in Chuuṣoostee did not use hyphens. Imaging seeing aa'jbraaukpechyiinaambii and trying to pronounce that as a foreigner!
To make a number into an adjective, "-di" is added. First is "ukpedi", second is "braadi", 42,069th is aa'j-braa-ukpe-chyii-naambiidi, etc. The for last is 'zestudi, which is the word for "late" with the suffix -di.
