Alternations

Alternations in Orrovian
Due to strict phonological rules in Orrovian, verb and noun endings don't always look like they do in the dictionary. This is a form of Sandhi where the ending of a word changes depending on the beginning of the next word. The most common form of this among Orrovian speakers is to base the alternations off of whether the next word begins with a vowel.

In Verbs, this affects the personal ending:

vo casa vs vo a'ccasa

ve casa vs ves a'ccasa

va casa vs va a'ccasa (or v'a'ccasa ammong some speakers)

vamo casa vs vam a'ccasa

vaze casa vs vaz a'ccasa

vana casa vs van a'ccasa

In nouns, this affects whether the plural ends in -s.

la puella bella >> le puelle belles

la puella amata >> le puelles amates

el armatu bellu >> los armato bellos

el armatu amatu >> los armatos amatos

Articles are also affected:

lu pan vs el armatu

lo panes vs los armatos

la marita vs l'amatrice

le marites vs les amatrices
