And Etherin was chosen their principal. And for sixty days they garnered wood in the forests along the white shore and thereof timbered their ships, by number twenty-four. From bow to tail they measured seven paces each of them, and twenty-one feet from one side to the other, and each of them might carry one hundred and forty-four men. They were made of bright pine’s timber, bearing a bond of white alike a wave from tail to nose on either side of their hull, widening in the beginning, reducing toward the prow, thus they both met there. And the women wove sail’s cloth by white thread, and every sail bore the shipmaster’s arms in its centre. The masts were made of sacred oak, and Thunnir hallowed them to Auol.&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> ===Besokian Liturgy: Opening and Entry of the Gods • Old Besokian===<br /> &lt;poem&gt;Êrûn! Êrûn!

And Etherin was chosen their principal. And for sixty days they garnered wood in the forests along the white shore and thereof timbered their ships, by number twenty-four. From bow to tail they measured seven paces each of them, and twenty-one feet from one side to the other, and each of them might carry one hundred and forty-four men. They were made of bright pine’s timber, bearing a bond of white alike a wave from tail to nose on either side of their hull, widening in the beginning, reducing toward the prow, thus they both met there. And the women wove sail’s cloth by white thread, and every sail bore the shipmaster’s arms in its centre.

From bow to tail they measured seven paces each of them, and twenty-one feet from one side to the other, and each of them might carry one hundred and forty-four men. They were made of bright pine’s timber, bearing a bond of white alike a wave from tail to nose on either side of their hull, widening in the beginning, reducing toward the prow, thus they both met there. And the women wove sail’s cloth by white thread, and every sail bore the shipmaster’s arms in its centre. The masts were made of sacred oak, and Thunnir hallowed them to Auol.&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> ===Besokian Liturgy: Opening and Entry of the Gods • Old Besokian===<br /> &lt;poem&gt;Êrûn! Êrûn!

===Conditional clause===<br /> The text’s very first sentence is a good example of a Middle Olgish conditional construction.<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&#039;&#039;Ním ilisek kéla ahandärnek nauko.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;‘If all were well, I would be polite with you.’&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> The condition is presented first, without a conjunction but the predicate in the subjunctive mood: &#039;&#039;ním ilisek&#039;&#039; ‘things would [be] good’.<br /> <br /> This is followed by the conditioned action, equally in the subjunctive but introduced by &#039;&#039;kéla&#039;&#039; ‘then, therefore’, one of the few Olgish conjunctions: &#039;&#039;kéla ahandärnek nauko&#039;&#039; ‘I would speak politely with you’.<br /> <br /> ===Morphological soft selection===<br /> A hallmark feature of all [[Ortûlékian languages]], affixes in Middle Olgish show a great deal of flexibility with regards to the syntactic class of the host they attach to, moving fairly freely between nouns, verbs, and adjectives, and more rarely even pronouns and particles. This ‘soft’ host selection is very common and appears in multiple instances in the text above:<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;ilisek&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘it would be good’ ← &#039;&#039;ilis&#039;&#039; {{sc|adj}} ‘good’ + &#039;&#039;-ek&#039;&#039; (singular subjunctive ending)<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;elikún&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘so many different options’ ← &#039;&#039;elik&#039;&#039; {{sc|n}} ‘alternative, choice’ + &#039;&#039;-ún&#039;&#039; (superlative suffix)<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;gissún&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘full of’ ← &#039;&#039;gis&#039;&#039; {{sc|prep}} ‘with’ + &#039;&#039;-ún&#039;&#039; (superlative suffix)<br /> <br /> ===The definite article===<br /> The definite article &#039;&#039;terg&#039;&#039;, obligatory in [[Saint Fádin|Fádin’s]] [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Liturgical Olgish]], is used only sparingly in Middle Olgish, expressing a stronger sense of definiteness, and is in many instances subject to elision and cliticization, attaching either to the following noun or, more commonly, a preceding preposition.<br /> <br /> The above text contains only three definite articles, two serving a demonstrative function and one used in a possessive construction with a pronoun:<br /> <br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;duat’ hern&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘at home’ ← &#039;&#039;dua terg hern&#039;&#039; lit. ‘at the house’ &lt;br /&gt;<br /> This expression uses {{sc|def}} to refer to a specific &#039;&#039;hern&#039;&#039; ‘house’, implied to be the speaker’s home. The article is elided and cliticized, attaching to the preposition &#039;&#039;dua&#039;&#039; ‘in, at’.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;duat’ lárnur&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘tonight’ ← &#039;&#039;dua terg lárnur&#039;&#039; lit. ‘in this evening’ &lt;br /&gt;<br /> Similarly, here {{sc|def}} is used to single out the &#039;&#039;lárnur&#039;&#039; ‘evening’ given as the hodiernal one. Again, &#039;&#039;terg&#039;&#039; is elided and attaches to &#039;&#039;dua&#039;&#039;.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;terg túrada&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘their ({{sc|sg}}) mother’ ← &#039;&#039;terg túra-da&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;<br /> The third example marked differs from the previous two. Here, instead of a bare noun, {{sc|def}} is associated with a possessive construction, and its presence is due to grammatical obligation rather than semantic nuance. Unlike in Liturgical Olgish, where pronouns functioning as possessors attach to the left of their possession, forming the equivalent of a right-headed possessive compound (so &#039;&#039;terg de-túnor&#039;&#039; ‘({{sc|def}}) your protection’), by the Middle Olgish period, possessively functioning pronouns attach to the right of the possessed noun; as in Liturgical Olgish, although the construction is (semantically) inherently definite, it is obligatorily preceded by the definite article. Uniquely in the text above, this instance of &#039;&#039;terg&#039;&#039; is not elided but realized in full.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Grammar Discussions]][[Category:Out-of-Universe]]</div>

===Conditional clause===<br /> The text’s very first sentence is a good example of a Middle Olgish conditional construction.<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&#039;&#039;Ním ilisek kéla ahandärnek nauko.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;‘If all were well, I would be polite with you.’&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> The condition is presented first, without a conjunction but the predicate in the subjunctive mood: &#039;&#039;ním ilisek&#039;&#039; ‘things would [be] good’.<br /> <br /> This is followed by the conditioned action, equally in the subjunctive but introduced by &#039;&#039;kéla&#039;&#039; ‘then, therefore’, one of the few Olgish conjunctions: &#039;&#039;kéla ahandärnek nauko&#039;&#039; ‘I would speak politely with you’.<br /> <br /> ===Morphological soft selection===<br /> A hallmark feature of all [[Ortûlékian languages]], affixes in Middle Olgish show a great deal of flexibility with regards to the syntactic class of the host they attach to, moving fairly freely between nouns, verbs, and adjectives, and more rarely even pronouns and particles. This ‘soft’ host selection is very common and appears in multiple instances in the text above:<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;ilisek&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘it would be good’ ← &#039;&#039;ilis&#039;&#039; {{sc|adj}} ‘good’ + &#039;&#039;-ek&#039;&#039; (singular subjunctive ending)<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;elikún&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘so many different options’ ← &#039;&#039;elik&#039;&#039; {{sc|n}} ‘alternative, choice’ + &#039;&#039;-ún&#039;&#039; (superlative suffix)<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;gissún&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘full of’ ← &#039;&#039;gis&#039;&#039; {{sc|prep}} ‘with’ + &#039;&#039;-ún&#039;&#039; (superlative suffix)<br /> <br /> ===The definite article===<br /> The definite article &#039;&#039;terg&#039;&#039;, obligatory in [[Saint Fádin|Fádin’s]] [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Liturgical Olgish]], is used only sparingly in Middle Olgish, expressing a stronger sense of definiteness, and is in many instances subject to elision and cliticization, attaching either to the following noun or, more commonly, a preceding preposition.<br /> <br /> The above text contains only three definite articles, two serving a demonstrative function and one used in a possessive construction with a pronoun:<br /> <br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;duat’ hern&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘at home’ ← &#039;&#039;dua terg hern&#039;&#039; lit. ‘at the house’ &lt;br /&gt;<br /> This expression uses {{sc|def}} to refer to a specific &#039;&#039;hern&#039;&#039; ‘house’, implied to be the speaker’s home. The article is elided and cliticized, attaching to the preposition &#039;&#039;dua&#039;&#039; ‘in, at’.<br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;duat’ lárnur&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘tonight’ ← &#039;&#039;dua terg lárnur&#039;&#039; lit. ‘in this evening’ &lt;br /&gt;<br /> Similarly, here {{sc|def}} is used to single out the &#039;&#039;lárnur&#039;&#039; ‘evening’ given as the hodiernal one.

Here, instead of a bare noun, {{sc|def}} is associated with a possessive construction, and its presence is due to grammatical obligation rather than semantic nuance.

/> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td colspan=9&gt;Hence, they know what a pleasure good food is for the family.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Notable constructions in the text==<br /> ===Conditional clause===<br /> The text’s very first sentence is a good example of a Middle Olgish conditional construction.<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&#039;&#039;Ním ilisek kéla ahandärnek nauko.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;‘If all were well, I would be polite with you.’&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> The condition is presented first, without a conjunction but the predicate in the subjunctive mood: &#039;&#039;ním ilisek&#039;&#039; ‘things would [be] good’.<br /> <br /> This is followed by the conditioned action, equally in the subjunctive but introduced by &#039;&#039;kéla&#039;&#039; ‘then, therefore’, one of the few Olgish conjunctions: &#039;&#039;kéla ahandärnek nauko&#039;&#039; ‘I would speak politely with you’.<br /> <br /> ===Morphological soft selection===<br /> A hallmark feature of all [[Ortûlékian languages]], affixes in Middle Olgish show a great deal of flexibility with regards to the syntactic class of the host they attach to, moving fairly freely between nouns, verbs, and adjectives, and more rarely even pronouns and particles. This ‘soft’ host selection is very common and appears in multiple instances in the text above:<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;ilisek&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘it would be good’ ← &#039;&#039;ilis&#039;&#039; {{sc|adj}} ‘good’ + &#039;&#039;-ek&#039;&#039; (singular subjunctive ending)<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;elikún&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘so many different options’ ← &#039;&#039;elik&#039;&#039; {{sc|n}} ‘alternative, choice’ + &#039;&#039;-ún&#039;&#039; (superlative suffix)<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;gissún&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘full of’ ← &#039;&#039;gis&#039;&#039; {{sc|prep}} ‘with’ + &#039;&#039;-ún&#039;&#039; (superlative suffix)<br /> <br /> ===Elision of the definite article===<br /> The definite article &#039;&#039;terg&#039;&#039;, obligatory in [[Saint Fádin|Fádin’s]] [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Liturgical Olgish]], is used only sparingly in Middle Olgish, expressing a stronger sense of definiteness, and is in many instances subject to elision and cliticization, attaching either to the following noun or, more commonly, a preceding preposition.<br /> <br /> The above text contains only three definite articles, two serving a demonstrative function and one used in a possessive construction with a pronoun:<br /> <br /> *&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;duat’ hern&#039;&#039; ‘at home’&#039;&#039;&#039;</div>

<p>Michaelmgoessler: /* Morphological soft selection */</p> <hr /> <div>This [[Middle Olgish]] text was created as part of the [https://www.frathwiki.com/LCC11_Relay LCC11 Conlang Relays] in Spring 2025, where it appeared as the twelfth step of the Conscript Relay. It was translated from Jonathan Kane’s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JET1PQYiW_Q Valya], ultimately based on the original [https://s.ai/nlws/ UNLWS] torch by Sai and Alex Fink. The following is the original gloss and interlinear translation provided in the extended relay materials, annotated for notable grammatical features.<br /> ==Original text and clean translation==<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&#039;&#039;Ním ilisek kéla ahandärnek nauko.

Tonight, the prospect of food with much salt and oil and sugar would make me happy, despite the greater cost. Let me tell you: It would be good if you went to the Sosk.

/> &lt;tr&gt;&lt;td colspan=9&gt;Hence, they know what a pleasure good food is for the family.&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;<br /> &lt;/table&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Notable constructions in the text==<br /> ===Conditional clause===<br /> The text’s very first sentence is a good example of a Middle Olgish conditional construction.<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&#039;&#039;Ním ilisek kéla ahandärnek nauko.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;‘If all were well, I would be polite with you.’&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> The condition is presented first, without a conjunction but the predicate in the subjunctive mood: &#039;&#039;ním ilisek&#039;&#039; ‘things would [be] good’.<br /> <br /> This is followed by the conditioned action, equally in the subjunctive but introduced by &#039;&#039;kéla&#039;&#039; ‘then, therefore’, one of the few Olgish conjunctions: &#039;&#039;kéla ahandärnek nauka&#039;&#039; ‘I would speak politely with you’.<br /> <br /> ===Morphological soft selection===<br /> A hallmark feature of all [[Ortûlékian languages]], affixes in Middle Olgish show a great deal of flexibility with regards to the syntactic class of the host they attach to, moving fairly freely between nouns, verbs, and adjectives, and more rarely even pronouns and particles. This ‘soft’ host selection is very common and appears in multiple instances in the text above:<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;ilisek&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘it would be good’ ← &#039;&#039;ilis&#039;&#039; {{sc|adj}} ‘good’ + &#039;&#039;-ek&#039;&#039; (singular subjunctive ending)<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;elikún&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘so many different options’ ← &#039;&#039;elik&#039;&#039; ‘alternative, choice’ + &#039;&#039;-ún&#039;&#039; (superlative suffix)<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;gissún&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘full of’ ← &#039;&#039;gis&#039;&#039; ‘with’ + &#039;&#039;-ún&#039;&#039; (superlative suffix)<br /> <br /> ===Elision of the definite article===<br /> The definite article &#039;&#039;terg&#039;&#039;, obligatory in [[Saint Fádin|Fádin’s]] [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Liturgical Olgish]], is used only sparingly in Middle Olgish and in many instances subject to elision and cliticization, attaching either to the following noun or, more commonly, a preceding preposition.<br /> <br /> The above text contains only three definite articles, two serving a demonstrative function and one used in a possessive construction with a pronoun.<br /> <br /> *&#039;&#039;duat’ hern&#039;&#039; ‘at home’</div>

<p>Michaelmgoessler: /* Discussion */</p> <hr /> <div>This [[Middle Olgish]] text was created as part of the [https://www.frathwiki.com/LCC11_Relay LCC11 Conlang Relays] in Spring 2025, where it appeared as the twelfth step of the Conscript Relay. It was translated from Jonathan Kane’s [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JET1PQYiW_Q Valya], ultimately based on the original [https://s.ai/nlws/ UNLWS] torch by Sai and Alex Fink. The following is the original gloss and interlinear translation provided in the extended relay materials, annotated for notable grammatical features.<br /> ==Original text and clean translation==<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&#039;&#039;Ním ilisek kéla ahandärnek nauko.

Sometimes in the evening, I wonder why I work so hard preparing food at home despite so many other, more relaxing options; options like the inn, a Sosk, or all the things at the market. Tonight, the prospect of food with much salt and oil and sugar would make me happy, despite the greater cost. Let me tell you: It would be good if you went to the Sosk. A wise person remembers when their mother cooked the best food for them; and so also what pleasure good food is for the family.’&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Gloss and interlinear

===Conditional clause===<br /> The text’s very first sentence is a good example of a Middle Olgish conditional construction.<br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&#039;&#039;Ním ilisek kéla ahandärnek nauko.&#039;&#039;&lt;br /&gt;‘If all were well, I would be polite with you.’&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> The condition is presented first, without a conjunction but the predicate in the subjunctive mood: &#039;&#039;ním ilisek&#039;&#039; ‘things would [be] good’.<br /> <br /> This is followed by the conditioned action, equally in the subjunctive but introduced by &#039;&#039;kéla&#039;&#039; ‘then, therefore’, one of the few Olgish conjunctions: &#039;&#039;kéla ahandärnek nauka&#039;&#039; ‘I would speak politely with you’.<br /> <br /> ===Morphological soft selection==<br /> A hallmark feature of all [[Ortûlékian languages]], affixes in Middle Olgish show a great deal of flexibility with regards to the syntactic class of the host they attach to, moving fairly freely between nouns, verbs, and adjectives, and more rarely even pronouns and particles. This ‘soft’ host selection is very common and appears in multiple instances in the text above:<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;ilisek&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘it would be good’ ← &#039;&#039;ilis&#039;&#039; {{sc|adj}} ‘good’ + &#039;&#039;-ek&#039;&#039; (singular subjunctive ending)<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;elikún&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘so many different options’ ← &#039;&#039;elik&#039;&#039; ‘alternative, choice’ + &#039;&#039;-ún&#039;&#039; (superlative suffix)<br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;gissún&#039;&#039;&#039; ‘full of’ ← &#039;&#039;gis&#039;&#039; ‘with’ + &#039;&#039;-ún&#039;&#039; (superlative suffix)<br /> <br /> ===Elision of the definite article===<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Possessive construction with a pronoun===</div>

<p>Michaelmgoessler: /* Language Samples */</p> <hr /> <div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Middle Olgish&#039;&#039;&#039;, also &#039;&#039;&#039;Middle Cëlacian&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Middle Eastern Olgish&#039;&#039;&#039; (Olg. &#039;&#039;Olgenam&#039;&#039;), is a historical stage of the [[Olgish languages#History and classification|Eastern (Cëlacian) Olgish language]], spoken in the late [[History Outline#Overview|Iron Age]] and into the first centuries of the [[Lécaronian Empire]]. It is closely related to, but in both grammar and lexicon distinct from, [[Liturgical Middle Olgish]].<br /> <br /> ==History and classification==<br /> ===Etymology===<br /> The term &#039;&#039;Olgenam&#039;&#039;, earlier &#039;&#039;Olginam&#039;&#039; derives from the Ortûlékian ethnonym &#039;&#039;Olgi&#039;&#039; ‘the skilful ones’ + &#039;&#039;nam&#039;&#039; ‘custom, way, language’, from an original root *&#039;&#039;olg-&#039;&#039; ‘skilful, artful, deft’. The name was applied to one of the [[Ortûlékians|Three Peoples of Ortûlék]], ostensibly the ancestors of the [[Olgs]], beside the &#039;&#039;[[Géni]]&#039;&#039; and the &#039;&#039;[[Auli]]&#039;&#039;, traditionally considered the ancestors of the [[Aribelians]] and [[Iiles]], respectively. It is used endonymically by all speakers of non-differentiated Cëlacian dialects (that being, those other than [[Corbian language|Corbian]] and [[Wertian language|Wertian]]) for their language.<br /> ===Dating and historical scope===<br /> Middle Olgish is considered to progress from Old Olgish from the middle of the ninth century E.B. The first three centuries of this development, characterized by multiple waves of rapid sound change, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Middle Olgish Unrest&#039;&#039;&#039;, fall under the term &#039;&#039;&#039;Early Middle Olgish&#039;&#039;&#039;. It is during this phase that [[Saint Fádin|Fádin]] updates the language of the [[Lonsorigi]], and his [[Liturgical Middle Olgish]] is a variety of this early Middle Olgish; under the prominence of Fádin’s Tongue, this stage of Middle Olgish is often as a whole grouped under the umbrella of &#039;&#039;Liturgical Middle Olgish&#039;&#039;, even though only a very particular idiom is in fact used by the [[Olgish church]] and, thereafter, the [[Lécaron|Lécaronian]] bureaucracy.<br /> <br /> From the mid-twelfth century, the Middle Olgish Unrest begins to diminish, although it will not fully subside for another four hundred years. This second, more stable and consistent, stage of the language is considered &#039;&#039;&#039;Middle Olgish proper&#039;&#039;&#039; and the idiom generally referred to by the term &#039;&#039;Middle Olgish&#039;&#039; alone. It shows significant divergences from Liturgical Middle Olgish, from which it is over a century removed, but remains intelligible with the holy language, especially to those intimately familiar with Fádin’s Lonsorigi and their, from the Middle Olgish perspective, rather peculiar vocabulary.<br /> <br /> While official religious texts themselves are always kept in their Liturgical Middle Olgish form, many prayers, formulas, and other turns of phrase popularized in Fádin’s formal register are eventually ‘colloquialized’ into a form closer to spoken Middle Olgish, often retaining the original wording and structure but adjusting pronunciation and sometimes grammar to more closely resemble the vernacular.<br /> <br /> After more than three centuries of relative stability, the final waves of the Unrest begin to emerge in the early third century L.R. (the 16th century E.B.), as the number of everyday Olgish speakers rapidly dwindles in an increasingly cosmopolitan [[Lécaron]]. The ensuing sound changes again are significant, and Middle Olgish transitions into [[New Olgish]] around the mid-third century. In Seligon, the dialect of the Olgish-speaking but linguistically fairly isolated [[Northern Feldin]] diverges independently from Middle Olgish around 200 years later and is considered an independent language, [[Northern Feldic]].<br /> <br /> ==Phonology==<br /> Note that the below refer specifically to post-twelfth century Middle Olgish; the structure of Early Middle Olgish is discussed in the [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|separate article]].<br /> ===Phoneme inventory===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+Middle Olgish Consonants<br /> |- <br /> ! !! bilabial !! labiodental !! alveolar !! post-alveolar !! velar !! labiovelar !! glottal<br /> |- <br /> ! plosive <br /> | /p~pʰ/ /b/ || || /t~tʰ/ /d/ || || /k~kʰ/ /g/|| ||<br /> |- <br /> ! fricative <br /> | || /f/ /v/ || /s/ || || || || /h/<br /> |- <br /> ! nasal <br /> | /m/ || || /n/ || || || ||<br /> |- <br /> ! tap <br /> | || /ɾ~r/ || || || || ||<br /> |- <br /> ! lateral <br /> | || /l/ || || || || ||<br /> |- <br /> ! approximant <br /> | || || || /j/ || || /w/ ||<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+ Middle Olgish Vowels<br /> |-<br /> ! !! Front !! Back<br /> |-<br /> ! High<br /> | /iː/ /ɪ/ || /uː/ /ʊ/<br /> |-<br /> ! Mid<br /> | /eː/ /ɛ/ || /oː/ /ɔ/<br /> |-<br /> ! Low<br /> | (/a/) || /ɑː~aː/ /ɑ~a/<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Significant sound changes===<br /> ====Vowels====<br /> The Old Olgish vowel system, already seeing reduction in Fádin’s writings, is significantly simplified, collapsing quantity with tense--lax distinctions. The separate tense and lax lengthening diacritics of Old Olgish are preserved in writing, as they were in Fádin’s Lonsorigi, making this shift hard to trace, but irregularities in their application suggest vowel quality and quantity are fully conflated by the late twelfth century. The low front unrounded vowel /a/, while still fully distinct in Liturgical Middle Olgish, disappears in writing around the same time, although it is likely to have be preserved by at least some speakers until the [[Early Imperial Era]]. The low back rounded vowel /ɒ/, which Fádin only preserved in select historical spellings, has fully disappeared.<br /> <br /> ====Consonants====<br /> Relatively little change is seen in the consonantal system. The loss of interdental fricatives is complete, after Early Middle Olgish drops voiceless /θ/ but retains voiced /ð/. The Olgish fricative inventory experiences additional reduction in the loss of the voiceless velar fricative /x/, which merges with the voiced velar plosive /ɡ/. The voiceless post-alveolar fricative /ʃ/, already disappearing in Early Middle Olgish, is dropped fully, merging with /h/ between vowels and /s/ elsewhere. The voiced alveolar fricative /z/ is likewise lost in all positions.<br /> <br /> ==Morphology==<br /> Middle Olgish preserves most of the innovations seen in Early/Liturgical Middle Olgish morphology, with most changes appearing in the verbal paradigms. As common across the [[Ortûlékian languages|Ortûlékian family]], affixes attach fairly freely to hosts of various syntactic categories, their exact function varying with host category.<br /> ===Verbal morphology===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+ Middle Olgish Verbal Morphology<br /> ! !! scope=&quot;col&quot; colspan=&quot;2&quot; | Indicative<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; colspan=&quot;2&quot; | Subjunctive<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; colspan=&quot;2&quot; | Imperative/Optative<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; |<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | SG<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | PL<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | SG<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | PL<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | SG<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | PL<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | 1<br /> | &#039;&#039;-e&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-a&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ek&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ak&#039;&#039; || — || -am<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | 2<br /> | &#039;&#039;-o&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-o&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ek&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ak&#039;&#039; || -em || -om<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | 3<br /> | &#039;&#039;-e&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-a&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ek&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ak&#039;&#039; ||-em || -em<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Middle Olgish mostly preserves the paradigms of its [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Liturgical]] counterpart, albeit with greater degrees of syncretism, in particular in the subjunctive. The bare imperative of [[Old Olgish|Old]] and [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Liturgical Olgish]] is merged with the old optative, extending its &#039;&#039;-m&#039;&#039; suffix to all forms in the paradigm; while these new endings become the norm in informal spoken language and are used even more widely in [[New Olgish]], the older bare forms are preferred in more formal contexts, particularly prayers adapted directly from [[Saint Fádin|Fádin’s]] [[Lonsorigi]]. Person/number coding is subject to considerable underspecification; traditionally, the &#039;&#039;-e&#039;&#039; ending is glossed to express singularity and the &#039;&#039;-a&#039;&#039; ending plurality, while the &#039;&#039;-o&#039;&#039; ending is thought to represent the second person in particular.<br /> <br /> ===Adjectival morphology===<br /> Adjectives do not agree with the nouns they modify, like in most Olgish dialects. While they commonly appear as (pseudo-)predicates bearing verbal suffixes, the adjective-specific morphology is limited to comparison; the comparative is coded with &#039;&#039;&#039;-ár&#039;&#039;&#039; and the superlative with &#039;&#039;&#039;-ún&#039;&#039;&#039;. These are among the most commonly ‘host-travelling’ affixes and frequently appear a qualifiers in nominal and verbal constructions.<br /> <br /> ===Nominal morphology===<br /> Similar to adjectives, Middle Olgish nouns display very limited morphological coding. With morphological case already lost in later Old Olgish, the only feature overtly coded for on nominals is number; Middle Olgish largely continues the highly irregular plural forms of Old Olgish but already shows some tendency towards regularization, in particular in replacing non-concatenative elements with suffixes. The already common plural suffixes &#039;&#039;-im&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;-in&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;-a&#039;&#039;, along with the ethnonymic suffix &#039;&#039;-i&#039;&#039; are increasingly preferred, eventually leading to the nearly complete regularization of plural suffixes in [[New Olgish]].<br /> <br /> ==Syntax==<br /> Syntax in Middle Olgish matrix clauses follows a verb-second pattern, with the additional limitation that only subjects and topicalized prepositional phrases and adverbial modifier phrases can appear in C /spec, with subjects being by far the most common. Base-generated word order seems to be SVO, and the vast majority of clauses also follow this pattern on the surface, including all subordinate clauses.<br /> <br /> Determiner phrases follow the general pattern &#039;&#039;&#039;[Determiner [Numeral [Noun Adjective]]]&#039;&#039;&#039;. Possession can be coded for in two ways, i) by forming a possessive adjective from the possessor noun with the suffix &#039;&#039;-in&#039;&#039; (heavily preferred by [[Saint Fádin|Fádin]] and the only possessive permitted in Liturgical Middle Olgish) or ii) by forming a possessive compound wherein the possessor precedes the possession (common in Old Olgish and informal Middle Olgish, but moribund already in Fádin’s time and practically out of use by the end of the Middle Olgish period).<br /> <br /> ===Serial IP constructions===<br /> A hallmark feature of the [[Olgish languages|Olgish family]] are serial IP constructions, also present in Middle Olgish, albeit somewhat rarer than in Old and Liturgical Olgish. The subject of an Olgish sentence can in theory take an arbitrary number of IPs (including objects and modifiers) as its complement without the need for conjunctions or other overt function coding; this is most commonly used to either list simultaneous or subsequent actions (and then equivalent to a coordination with dropped subject pronouns) or to add information on the subject itself (then equivalent to a relative clause with a null-marker).<br /> <br /> This rule broadly extends to all syntactically independent nouns in Olgish, although for most non-subjects the possible applications of this construction are largely limited to that of a quasi-relative clause. In this context, such a construction may also (and possibly more usefully) analysed as a nominalized clause as a whole, rather than an IP nested in an NP.<br /> <br /> Any nominal can further take on an IP containing its referent as a non-subject argument or modifier in the same manner. In this case, a pronoun coreferential with the noun in question will appear immediately following the verb, bare if it is a direct object or in a Prepositional Phrase if it is a modifier or indirect object. This special case is the only instance where the Olgish languages permit VOS order; this can be modelled as the lower V projection as a whole being raised to the I head while the subject remains in its base position in &#039;&#039;v&#039;&#039;P /spec (assuming the serialized/noun-dependent IP does not generate beyond the I head/the governing noun sits in a virtual IP /spec).<br /> <br /> As there is no overt relative construction in the Olgish languages, serial IPs are the most widely used form of clausal apposition.<br /> <br /> ===The definite article===<br /> <br /> Middle Olgish shares the universal definite article, &#039;&#039;&#039;terg&#039;&#039;&#039;, with Liturgical Middle Olgish. Unlike in the latter, this is used rarely and somewhat irregularly in colloquial Middle Olgish, comparable to the similar development in Biblical Greek. Most nouns appear without an article, whether definite or indefinite; &#039;&#039;terg&#039;&#039; is used only to denote very particular topical items, somewhere between the specificity of a definite and a demonstrative, and to form periphrastic possessives with pronouns. Notably, the article is often elided to a clitic &#039;&#039;&#039;t’=&#039;&#039;&#039; attaching either to the following noun or, most commonly, to a preceding preposition.<br /> <br /> While the definite article is often preserved in colloquialized prayers and turns of phrase to a degree not seen in authentic spoken Middle Olgish, elision is usually applied where it would be in the spoken register, oftentimes creating the most notable distinctions between a prayer’s formal and colloquial variants.<br /> <br /> ==Writing system==<br /> Developed specifically for his early form of Middle Olgish and popularized through his translation of the Lonsorigi, [[Fádin’s Calligraphy]] is the script most commonly used in writing formal Middle Olgish, while the simplified [[Lécaronian alphabet]] based thereof is the most widely seen in informal and utility writing. Both systems retain many Early Middle and even [[Old Olgish]] contrast eliminated in spoken Middle Olgish, leaving many written Middle Olgish forms unpredictable from their spoken counterparts and leading to a great variety in spellings, particularly among lesser-educated writers.<br /> <br /> Prior to Fádin’s day, the most widely used writing system is the [[Old Olgish alphabet]], which more directly corresponds to the [[Old Olgish runes]]. Considered a mere style variant rather than an independent script, it is used alongside Lécaronian writing for centuries, only gradually falling in disfavour for its more cumbersome letter shapes. It remains in sporadic use until the [[Late Imperial Era]], particularly in the context of inscriptions, dedications, and other short texts meant to evoke the [[Lonsorigi#Book of Belkondíl|age of Olgish heroes]].<br /> <br /> ==Language Samples==<br /> [[The Hunter’s Plea]], example of a formal prayer colloquialized into Middle Olgish:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&#039;&#039;Käronin, Awolin, Delgorin! T’detúnor hwénir tapa kálara närm dwa t’detáram dérita i dikara. Hínas tú náma darek i ‘ekos dimórino. Ílgarin, Elgekan, Noldáran! T’detúnor hwénir tapa jána närm dírika i nioma. Hínas tú náma darek i ‘ekos dimórino. Dúrita i ‘ébeka dem dérinem!&#039;&#039;&lt;br / &gt;&lt;br /&gt;<br /> ‘I call upon the powers of Käron, Awol, and Delgor! Bestow your protection upon our journey so that on your land we be successful and remain unharmed. We will take only according to our needs and nothing you cannot spare. I call upon the powers of Ílgar, Elgeka, and Noldára! Bestow your protection upon our hunting so that we accomplish great feats and keep our way. We will take only according to our needs and nothing you cannot spare. This is the oath for our hunt!’&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> The LCC11 Conscript Relay torch in Middle Olgish:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&#039;&#039;Ním ilisek kéla ahandärnek nauko.

Sometimes in the evening, I wonder why I work so hard preparing food at home despite so many other, more relaxing options; options like the inn, a Sosk, or all the things at the market. Tonight, the prospect of food with much salt and oil and sugar would make me happy, despite the greater cost. Let me tell you: It would be good if you went to the Sosk. A wise person remembers when their mother cooked the best food for them; and so also what pleasure good food is for the family.’&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> Middle Olgish, along with the [[Olgish writing#Lécaronian Alphabet|Lécaronian Alphabet]], was used for the [https://conlang.org/language-creation-conference/lcc11/lcc11-relay/ LCC11 Conscript Relay] in 2025.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Olgish languages]][[Category:Languages]]</div>

And Etherin was chosen their principal. And for sixty days they garnered wood in the forests along the white shore and thereof timbered their ships, by number twenty-four. From bow to tail they measured seven paces each of them, and twenty-one feet from one side to the other, and each of them might carry one hundred and forty-four men. They were made of bright pine’s timber, bearing a bond of white alike a wave from tail to nose on either side of their hull, widening in the beginning, reducing toward the prow, thus they both met there. And the women wove sail’s cloth by white thread, and every sail bore the shipmaster’s arms in its centre. The masts were made of sacred oak, and Thunnir hallowed them to Auol.&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> ===Besokian Liturgy: Opening and Entry of the Gods • Old Besokian===<br /> &lt;poem&gt;Êrûn! Êrûn!

And Etherin was chosen their principal. And for sixty days they garnered wood in the forests along the white shore and thereof timbered their ships, by number twenty-four. From bow to tail they measured seven paces each of them, and twenty-one feet from one side to the other, and each of them might carry one hundred and forty-four men. They were made of bright pine’s timber, bearing a bond of white alike a wave from tail to nose on either side of their hull, widening in the beginning, reducing toward the prow, thus they both met there. And the women wove sail’s cloth by white thread, and every sail bore the shipmaster’s arms in its centre.

From bow to tail they measured seven paces each of them, and twenty-one feet from one side to the other, and each of them might carry one hundred and forty-four men. They were made of bright pine’s timber, bearing a bond of white alike a wave from tail to nose on either side of their hull, widening in the beginning, reducing toward the prow, thus they both met there. And the women wove sail’s cloth by white thread, and every sail bore the shipmaster’s arms in its centre.

<p>Michaelmgoessler: /* Language Samples */</p> <hr /> <div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Middle Olgish&#039;&#039;&#039;, also &#039;&#039;&#039;Middle Cëlacian&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Middle Eastern Olgish&#039;&#039;&#039; (Olg. &#039;&#039;Olgenam&#039;&#039;), is a historical stage of the [[Olgish languages#History and classification|Eastern (Cëlacian) Olgish language]], spoken in the late [[History Outline#Overview|Iron Age]] and into the first centuries of the [[Lécaronian Empire]]. It is closely related to, but in both grammar and lexicon distinct from, [[Liturgical Middle Olgish]].<br /> <br /> ==History and classification==<br /> ===Etymology===<br /> The term &#039;&#039;Olgenam&#039;&#039;, earlier &#039;&#039;Olginam&#039;&#039; derives from the Ortûlékian ethnonym &#039;&#039;Olgi&#039;&#039; ‘the skilful ones’ + &#039;&#039;nam&#039;&#039; ‘custom, way, language’, from an original root *&#039;&#039;olg-&#039;&#039; ‘skilful, artful, deft’. The name was applied to one of the [[Ortûlékians|Three Peoples of Ortûlék]], ostensibly the ancestors of the [[Olgs]], beside the &#039;&#039;[[Géni]]&#039;&#039; and the &#039;&#039;[[Auli]]&#039;&#039;, traditionally considered the ancestors of the [[Aribelians]] and [[Iiles]], respectively. It is used endonymically by all speakers of non-differentiated Cëlacian dialects (that being, those other than [[Corbian language|Corbian]] and [[Wertian language|Wertian]]) for their language.<br /> ===Dating and historical scope===<br /> Middle Olgish is considered to progress from Old Olgish from the middle of the ninth century E.B. The first three centuries of this development, characterized by multiple waves of rapid sound change, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Middle Olgish Unrest&#039;&#039;&#039;, fall under the term &#039;&#039;&#039;Early Middle Olgish&#039;&#039;&#039;. It is during this phase that [[Saint Fádin|Fádin]] updates the language of the [[Lonsorigi]], and his [[Liturgical Middle Olgish]] is a variety of this early Middle Olgish; under the prominence of Fádin’s Tongue, this stage of Middle Olgish is often as a whole grouped under the umbrella of &#039;&#039;Liturgical Middle Olgish&#039;&#039;, even though only a very particular idiom is in fact used by the [[Olgish church]] and, thereafter, the [[Lécaron|Lécaronian]] bureaucracy.<br /> <br /> From the mid-twelfth century, the Middle Olgish Unrest begins to diminish, although it will not fully subside for another four hundred years. This second, more stable and consistent, stage of the language is considered &#039;&#039;&#039;Middle Olgish proper&#039;&#039;&#039; and the idiom generally referred to by the term &#039;&#039;Middle Olgish&#039;&#039; alone. It shows significant divergences from Liturgical Middle Olgish, from which it is over a century removed, but remains intelligible with the holy language, especially to those intimately familiar with Fádin’s Lonsorigi and their, from the Middle Olgish perspective, rather peculiar vocabulary.<br /> <br /> While official religious texts themselves are always kept in their Liturgical Middle Olgish form, many prayers, formulas, and other turns of phrase popularized in Fádin’s formal register are eventually ‘colloquialized’ into a form closer to spoken Middle Olgish, often retaining the original wording and structure but adjusting pronunciation and sometimes grammar to more closely resemble the vernacular.<br /> <br /> After more than three centuries of relative stability, the final waves of the Unrest begin to emerge in the early third century L.R. (the 16th century E.B.), as the number of everyday Olgish speakers rapidly dwindles in an increasingly cosmopolitan [[Lécaron]]. The ensuing sound changes again are significant, and Middle Olgish transitions into [[New Olgish]] around the mid-third century. In Seligon, the dialect of the Olgish-speaking but linguistically fairly isolated [[Northern Feldin]] diverges independently from Middle Olgish around 200 years later and is considered an independent language, [[Northern Feldic]].<br /> <br /> ==Phonology==<br /> Note that the below refer specifically to post-twelfth century Middle Olgish; the structure of Early Middle Olgish is discussed in the [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|separate article]].<br /> ===Phoneme inventory===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+Middle Olgish Consonants<br /> |- <br /> ! !! bilabial !! labiodental !! alveolar !! post-alveolar !! velar !! labiovelar !! glottal<br /> |- <br /> ! plosive <br /> | /p~pʰ/ /b/ || || /t~tʰ/ /d/ || || /k~kʰ/ /g/|| ||<br /> |- <br /> ! fricative <br /> | || /f/ /v/ || /s/ || || || || /h/<br /> |- <br /> ! nasal <br /> | /m/ || || /n/ || || || ||<br /> |- <br /> ! tap <br /> | || /ɾ~r/ || || || || ||<br /> |- <br /> ! lateral <br /> | || /l/ || || || || ||<br /> |- <br /> ! approximant <br /> | || || || /j/ || || /w/ ||<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+ Middle Olgish Vowels<br /> |-<br /> ! !! Front !! Back<br /> |-<br /> ! High<br /> | /iː/ /ɪ/ || /uː/ /ʊ/<br /> |-<br /> ! Mid<br /> | /eː/ /ɛ/ || /oː/ /ɔ/<br /> |-<br /> ! Low<br /> | (/a/) || /ɑː~aː/ /ɑ~a/<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Significant sound changes===<br /> ====Vowels====<br /> The Old Olgish vowel system, already seeing reduction in Fádin’s writings, is significantly simplified, collapsing quantity with tense--lax distinctions. The separate tense and lax lengthening diacritics of Old Olgish are preserved in writing, as they were in Fádin’s Lonsorigi, making this shift hard to trace, but irregularities in their application suggest vowel quality and quantity are fully conflated by the late twelfth century. The low front unrounded vowel /a/, while still fully distinct in Liturgical Middle Olgish, disappears in writing around the same time, although it is likely to have be preserved by at least some speakers until the [[Early Imperial Era]]. The low back rounded vowel /ɒ/, which Fádin only preserved in select historical spellings, has fully disappeared.<br /> <br /> ====Consonants====<br /> Relatively little change is seen in the consonantal system. The loss of interdental fricatives is complete, after Early Middle Olgish drops voiceless /θ/ but retains voiced /ð/. The Olgish fricative inventory experiences additional reduction in the loss of the voiceless velar fricative /x/, which merges with the voiced velar plosive /ɡ/. The voiceless post-alveolar fricative /ʃ/, already disappearing in Early Middle Olgish, is dropped fully, merging with /h/ between vowels and /s/ elsewhere. The voiced alveolar fricative /z/ is likewise lost in all positions.<br /> <br /> ==Morphology==<br /> Middle Olgish preserves most of the innovations seen in Early/Liturgical Middle Olgish morphology, with most changes appearing in the verbal paradigms. As common across the [[Ortûlékian languages|Ortûlékian family]], affixes attach fairly freely to hosts of various syntactic categories, their exact function varying with host category.<br /> ===Verbal morphology===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+ Middle Olgish Verbal Morphology<br /> ! !! scope=&quot;col&quot; colspan=&quot;2&quot; | Indicative<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; colspan=&quot;2&quot; | Subjunctive<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; colspan=&quot;2&quot; | Imperative/Optative<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; |<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | SG<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | PL<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | SG<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | PL<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | SG<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | PL<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | 1<br /> | &#039;&#039;-e&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-a&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ek&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ak&#039;&#039; || — || -am<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | 2<br /> | &#039;&#039;-o&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-o&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ek&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ak&#039;&#039; || -em || -om<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | 3<br /> | &#039;&#039;-e&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-a&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ek&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ak&#039;&#039; ||-em || -em<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Middle Olgish mostly preserves the paradigms of its [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Liturgical]] counterpart, albeit with greater degrees of syncretism, in particular in the subjunctive. The bare imperative of [[Old Olgish|Old]] and [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Liturgical Olgish]] is merged with the old optative, extending its &#039;&#039;-m&#039;&#039; suffix to all forms in the paradigm; while these new endings become the norm in informal spoken language and are used even more widely in [[New Olgish]], the older bare forms are preferred in more formal contexts, particularly prayers adapted directly from [[Saint Fádin|Fádin’s]] [[Lonsorigi]]. Person/number coding is subject to considerable underspecification; traditionally, the &#039;&#039;-e&#039;&#039; ending is glossed to express singularity and the &#039;&#039;-a&#039;&#039; ending plurality, while the &#039;&#039;-o&#039;&#039; ending is thought to represent the second person in particular.<br /> <br /> ===Adjectival morphology===<br /> Adjectives do not agree with the nouns they modify, like in most Olgish dialects. While they commonly appear as (pseudo-)predicates bearing verbal suffixes, the adjective-specific morphology is limited to comparison; the comparative is coded with &#039;&#039;&#039;-ár&#039;&#039;&#039; and the superlative with &#039;&#039;&#039;-ún&#039;&#039;&#039;. These are among the most commonly ‘host-travelling’ affixes and frequently appear a qualifiers in nominal and verbal constructions.<br /> <br /> ===Nominal morphology===<br /> Similar to adjectives, Middle Olgish nouns display very limited morphological coding. With morphological case already lost in later Old Olgish, the only feature overtly coded for on nominals is number; Middle Olgish largely continues the highly irregular plural forms of Old Olgish but already shows some tendency towards regularization, in particular in replacing non-concatenative elements with suffixes. The already common plural suffixes &#039;&#039;-im&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;-in&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;-a&#039;&#039;, along with the ethnonymic suffix &#039;&#039;-i&#039;&#039; are increasingly preferred, eventually leading to the nearly complete regularization of plural suffixes in [[New Olgish]].<br /> <br /> ==Syntax==<br /> Syntax in Middle Olgish matrix clauses follows a verb-second pattern, with the additional limitation that only subjects and topicalized prepositional phrases and adverbial modifier phrases can appear in C /spec, with subjects being by far the most common. Base-generated word order seems to be SVO, and the vast majority of clauses also follow this pattern on the surface, including all subordinate clauses.<br /> <br /> Determiner phrases follow the general pattern &#039;&#039;&#039;[Determiner [Numeral [Noun Adjective]]]&#039;&#039;&#039;. Possession can be coded for in two ways, i) by forming a possessive adjective from the possessor noun with the suffix &#039;&#039;-in&#039;&#039; (heavily preferred by [[Saint Fádin|Fádin]] and the only possessive permitted in Liturgical Middle Olgish) or ii) by forming a possessive compound wherein the possessor precedes the possession (common in Old Olgish and informal Middle Olgish, but moribund already in Fádin’s time and practically out of use by the end of the Middle Olgish period).<br /> <br /> ===Serial IP constructions===<br /> A hallmark feature of the [[Olgish languages|Olgish family]] are serial IP constructions, also present in Middle Olgish, albeit somewhat rarer than in Old and Liturgical Olgish. The subject of an Olgish sentence can in theory take an arbitrary number of IPs (including objects and modifiers) as its complement without the need for conjunctions or other overt function coding; this is most commonly used to either list simultaneous or subsequent actions (and then equivalent to a coordination with dropped subject pronouns) or to add information on the subject itself (then equivalent to a relative clause with a null-marker).<br /> <br /> This rule broadly extends to all syntactically independent nouns in Olgish, although for most non-subjects the possible applications of this construction are largely limited to that of a quasi-relative clause. In this context, such a construction may also (and possibly more usefully) analysed as a nominalized clause as a whole, rather than an IP nested in an NP.<br /> <br /> Any nominal can further take on an IP containing its referent as a non-subject argument or modifier in the same manner. In this case, a pronoun coreferential with the noun in question will appear immediately following the verb, bare if it is a direct object or in a Prepositional Phrase if it is a modifier or indirect object. This special case is the only instance where the Olgish languages permit VOS order; this can be modelled as the lower V projection as a whole being raised to the I head while the subject remains in its base position in &#039;&#039;v&#039;&#039;P /spec (assuming the serialized/noun-dependent IP does not generate beyond the I head/the governing noun sits in a virtual IP /spec).<br /> <br /> As there is no overt relative construction in the Olgish languages, serial IPs are the most widely used form of clausal apposition.<br /> <br /> ===The definite article===<br /> <br /> Middle Olgish shares the universal definite article, &#039;&#039;&#039;terg&#039;&#039;&#039;, with Liturgical Middle Olgish. Unlike in the latter, this is used rarely and somewhat irregularly in colloquial Middle Olgish, comparable to the similar development in Biblical Greek. Most nouns appear without an article, whether definite or indefinite; &#039;&#039;terg&#039;&#039; is used only to denote very particular topical items, somewhere between the specificity of a definite and a demonstrative, and to form periphrastic possessives with pronouns. Notably, the article is often elided to a clitic &#039;&#039;&#039;t’=&#039;&#039;&#039; attaching either to the following noun or, most commonly, to a preceding preposition.<br /> <br /> While the definite article is often preserved in colloquialized prayers and turns of phrase to a degree not seen in authentic spoken Middle Olgish, elision is usually applied where it would be in the spoken register, oftentimes creating the most notable distinctions between a prayer’s formal and colloquial variants.<br /> <br /> ==Writing system==<br /> Developed specifically for his early form of Middle Olgish and popularized through his translation of the Lonsorigi, [[Fádin’s Calligraphy]] is the script most commonly used in writing formal Middle Olgish, while the simplified [[Lécaronian alphabet]] based thereof is the most widely seen in informal and utility writing. Both systems retain many Early Middle and even [[Old Olgish]] contrast eliminated in spoken Middle Olgish, leaving many written Middle Olgish forms unpredictable from their spoken counterparts and leading to a great variety in spellings, particularly among lesser-educated writers.<br /> <br /> Prior to Fádin’s day, the most widely used writing system is the [[Old Olgish alphabet]], which more directly corresponds to the [[Old Olgish runes]].

<p>Michaelmgoessler: /* Language Samples */</p> <hr /> <div>&#039;&#039;&#039;Middle Olgish&#039;&#039;&#039;, also &#039;&#039;&#039;Middle Cëlacian&#039;&#039;&#039; or &#039;&#039;&#039;Middle Eastern Olgish&#039;&#039;&#039; (Olg. &#039;&#039;Olgenam&#039;&#039;), is a historical stage of the [[Olgish languages#History and classification|Eastern (Cëlacian) Olgish language]], spoken in the late [[History Outline#Overview|Iron Age]] and into the first centuries of the [[Lécaronian Empire]]. It is closely related to, but in both grammar and lexicon distinct from, [[Liturgical Middle Olgish]].<br /> <br /> ==History and classification==<br /> ===Etymology===<br /> The term &#039;&#039;Olgenam&#039;&#039;, earlier &#039;&#039;Olginam&#039;&#039; derives from the Ortûlékian ethnonym &#039;&#039;Olgi&#039;&#039; ‘the skilful ones’ + &#039;&#039;nam&#039;&#039; ‘custom, way, language’, from an original root *&#039;&#039;olg-&#039;&#039; ‘skilful, artful, deft’. The name was applied to one of the [[Ortûlékians|Three Peoples of Ortûlék]], ostensibly the ancestors of the [[Olgs]], beside the &#039;&#039;[[Géni]]&#039;&#039; and the &#039;&#039;[[Auli]]&#039;&#039;, traditionally considered the ancestors of the [[Aribelians]] and [[Iiles]], respectively. It is used endonymically by all speakers of non-differentiated Cëlacian dialects (that being, those other than [[Corbian language|Corbian]] and [[Wertian language|Wertian]]) for their language.<br /> ===Dating and historical scope===<br /> Middle Olgish is considered to progress from Old Olgish from the middle of the ninth century E.B. The first three centuries of this development, characterized by multiple waves of rapid sound change, the &#039;&#039;&#039;Middle Olgish Unrest&#039;&#039;&#039;, fall under the term &#039;&#039;&#039;Early Middle Olgish&#039;&#039;&#039;. It is during this phase that [[Saint Fádin|Fádin]] updates the language of the [[Lonsorigi]], and his [[Liturgical Middle Olgish]] is a variety of this early Middle Olgish; under the prominence of Fádin’s Tongue, this stage of Middle Olgish is often as a whole grouped under the umbrella of &#039;&#039;Liturgical Middle Olgish&#039;&#039;, even though only a very particular idiom is in fact used by the [[Olgish church]] and, thereafter, the [[Lécaron|Lécaronian]] bureaucracy.<br /> <br /> From the mid-twelfth century, the Middle Olgish Unrest begins to diminish, although it will not fully subside for another four hundred years. This second, more stable and consistent, stage of the language is considered &#039;&#039;&#039;Middle Olgish proper&#039;&#039;&#039; and the idiom generally referred to by the term &#039;&#039;Middle Olgish&#039;&#039; alone. It shows significant divergences from Liturgical Middle Olgish, from which it is over a century removed, but remains intelligible with the holy language, especially to those intimately familiar with Fádin’s Lonsorigi and their, from the Middle Olgish perspective, rather peculiar vocabulary.<br /> <br /> While official religious texts themselves are always kept in their Liturgical Middle Olgish form, many prayers, formulas, and other turns of phrase popularized in Fádin’s formal register are eventually ‘colloquialized’ into a form closer to spoken Middle Olgish, often retaining the original wording and structure but adjusting pronunciation and sometimes grammar to more closely resemble the vernacular.<br /> <br /> After more than three centuries of relative stability, the final waves of the Unrest begin to emerge in the early third century L.R. (the 16th century E.B.), as the number of everyday Olgish speakers rapidly dwindles in an increasingly cosmopolitan [[Lécaron]]. The ensuing sound changes again are significant, and Middle Olgish transitions into [[New Olgish]] around the mid-third century. In Seligon, the dialect of the Olgish-speaking but linguistically fairly isolated [[Northern Feldin]] diverges independently from Middle Olgish around 200 years later and is considered an independent language, [[Northern Feldic]].<br /> <br /> ==Phonology==<br /> Note that the below refer specifically to post-twelfth century Middle Olgish; the structure of Early Middle Olgish is discussed in the [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|separate article]].<br /> ===Phoneme inventory===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+Middle Olgish Consonants<br /> |- <br /> ! !! bilabial !! labiodental !! alveolar !! post-alveolar !! velar !! labiovelar !! glottal<br /> |- <br /> ! plosive <br /> | /p~pʰ/ /b/ || || /t~tʰ/ /d/ || || /k~kʰ/ /g/|| ||<br /> |- <br /> ! fricative <br /> | || /f/ /v/ || /s/ || || || || /h/<br /> |- <br /> ! nasal <br /> | /m/ || || /n/ || || || ||<br /> |- <br /> ! tap <br /> | || /ɾ~r/ || || || || ||<br /> |- <br /> ! lateral <br /> | || /l/ || || || || ||<br /> |- <br /> ! approximant <br /> | || || || /j/ || || /w/ ||<br /> <br /> |}<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+ Middle Olgish Vowels<br /> |-<br /> ! !!

Low<br /> | (/a/) || /ɑː~aː/ /ɑ~a/<br /> |}<br /> <br /> ===Significant sound changes===<br /> ====Vowels====<br /> The Old Olgish vowel system, already seeing reduction in Fádin’s writings, is significantly simplified, collapsing quantity with tense--lax distinctions. The separate tense and lax lengthening diacritics of Old Olgish are preserved in writing, as they were in Fádin’s Lonsorigi, making this shift hard to trace, but irregularities in their application suggest vowel quality and quantity are fully conflated by the late twelfth century. The low front unrounded vowel /a/, while still fully distinct in Liturgical Middle Olgish, disappears in writing around the same time, although it is likely to have be preserved by at least some speakers until the [[Early Imperial Era]]. The low back rounded vowel /ɒ/, which Fádin only preserved in select historical spellings, has fully disappeared.<br /> <br /> ====Consonants====<br /> Relatively little change is seen in the consonantal system. The loss of interdental fricatives is complete, after Early Middle Olgish drops voiceless /θ/ but retains voiced /ð/. The Olgish fricative inventory experiences additional reduction in the loss of the voiceless velar fricative /x/, which merges with the voiced velar plosive /ɡ/. The voiceless post-alveolar fricative /ʃ/, already disappearing in Early Middle Olgish, is dropped fully, merging with /h/ between vowels and /s/ elsewhere. The voiced alveolar fricative /z/ is likewise lost in all positions.<br /> <br /> ==Morphology==<br /> Middle Olgish preserves most of the innovations seen in Early/Liturgical Middle Olgish morphology, with most changes appearing in the verbal paradigms. As common across the [[Ortûlékian languages|Ortûlékian family]], affixes attach fairly freely to hosts of various syntactic categories, their exact function varying with host category.<br /> ===Verbal morphology===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+ Middle Olgish Verbal Morphology<br /> ! !! scope=&quot;col&quot; colspan=&quot;2&quot; | Indicative<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; colspan=&quot;2&quot; | Subjunctive<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; colspan=&quot;2&quot; | Imperative/Optative<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; |<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | SG<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | PL<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | SG<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | PL<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | SG<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | PL<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | 1<br /> | &#039;&#039;-e&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-a&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ek&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ak&#039;&#039; || — || -am<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | 2<br /> | &#039;&#039;-o&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-o&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ek&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ak&#039;&#039; || -em || -om<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | 3<br /> | &#039;&#039;-e&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-a&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ek&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ak&#039;&#039; ||-em || -em<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Middle Olgish mostly preserves the paradigms of its [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Liturgical]] counterpart, albeit with greater degrees of syncretism, in particular in the subjunctive. The bare imperative of [[Old Olgish|Old]] and [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Liturgical Olgish]] is merged with the old optative, extending its &#039;&#039;-m&#039;&#039; suffix to all forms in the paradigm; while these new endings become the norm in informal spoken language and are used even more widely in [[New Olgish]], the older bare forms are preferred in more formal contexts, particularly prayers adapted directly from [[Saint Fádin|Fádin’s]] [[Lonsorigi]]. Person/number coding is subject to considerable underspecification; traditionally, the &#039;&#039;-e&#039;&#039; ending is glossed to express singularity and the &#039;&#039;-a&#039;&#039; ending plurality, while the &#039;&#039;-o&#039;&#039; ending is thought to represent the second person in particular.<br /> <br /> ===Adjectival morphology===<br /> Adjectives do not agree with the nouns they modify, like in most Olgish dialects. While they commonly appear as (pseudo-)predicates bearing verbal suffixes, the adjective-specific morphology is limited to comparison; the comparative is coded with &#039;&#039;&#039;-ár&#039;&#039;&#039; and the superlative with &#039;&#039;&#039;-ún&#039;&#039;&#039;. These are among the most commonly ‘host-travelling’ affixes and frequently appear a qualifiers in nominal and verbal constructions.<br /> <br /> ===Nominal morphology===<br /> Similar to adjectives, Middle Olgish nouns display very limited morphological coding. With morphological case already lost in later Old Olgish, the only feature overtly coded for on nominals is number; Middle Olgish largely continues the highly irregular plural forms of Old Olgish but already shows some tendency towards regularization, in particular in replacing non-concatenative elements with suffixes. The already common plural suffixes &#039;&#039;-im&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;-in&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;-a&#039;&#039;, along with the ethnonymic suffix &#039;&#039;-i&#039;&#039; are increasingly preferred, eventually leading to the nearly complete regularization of plural suffixes in [[New Olgish]].<br /> <br /> ==Syntax==<br /> Syntax in Middle Olgish matrix clauses follows a verb-second pattern, with the additional limitation that only subjects and topicalized prepositional phrases and adverbial modifier phrases can appear in C /spec, with subjects being by far the most common. Base-generated word order seems to be SVO, and the vast majority of clauses also follow this pattern on the surface, including all subordinate clauses.<br /> <br /> Determiner phrases follow the general pattern &#039;&#039;&#039;[Determiner [Numeral [Noun Adjective]]]&#039;&#039;&#039;. Possession can be coded for in two ways, i) by forming a possessive adjective from the possessor noun with the suffix &#039;&#039;-in&#039;&#039; (heavily preferred by [[Saint Fádin|Fádin]] and the only possessive permitted in Liturgical Middle Olgish) or ii) by forming a possessive compound wherein the possessor precedes the possession (common in Old Olgish and informal Middle Olgish, but moribund already in Fádin’s time and practically out of use by the end of the Middle Olgish period).<br /> <br /> ===Serial IP constructions===<br /> A hallmark feature of the [[Olgish languages|Olgish family]] are serial IP constructions, also present in Middle Olgish, albeit somewhat rarer than in Old and Liturgical Olgish. The subject of an Olgish sentence can in theory take an arbitrary number of IPs (including objects and modifiers) as its complement without the need for conjunctions or other overt function coding; this is most commonly used to either list simultaneous or subsequent actions (and then equivalent to a coordination with dropped subject pronouns) or to add information on the subject itself (then equivalent to a relative clause with a null-marker).<br /> <br /> This rule broadly extends to all syntactically independent nouns in Olgish, although for most non-subjects the possible applications of this construction are largely limited to that of a quasi-relative clause. In this context, such a construction may also (and possibly more usefully) analysed as a nominalized clause as a whole, rather than an IP nested in an NP.<br /> <br /> Any nominal can further take on an IP containing its referent as a non-subject argument or modifier in the same manner. In this case, a pronoun coreferential with the noun in question will appear immediately following the verb, bare if it is a direct object or in a Prepositional Phrase if it is a modifier or indirect object. This special case is the only instance where the Olgish languages permit VOS order; this can be modelled as the lower V projection as a whole being raised to the I head while the subject remains in its base position in &#039;&#039;v&#039;&#039;P /spec (assuming the serialized/noun-dependent IP does not generate beyond the I head/the governing noun sits in a virtual IP /spec).<br /> <br /> As there is no overt relative construction in the Olgish languages, serial IPs are the most widely used form of clausal apposition.<br /> <br /> ===The definite article===<br /> <br /> Middle Olgish shares the universal definite article, &#039;&#039;&#039;terg&#039;&#039;&#039;, with Liturgical Middle Olgish. Unlike in the latter, this is used rarely and somewhat irregularly in colloquial Middle Olgish, comparable to the similar development in Biblical Greek. Most nouns appear without an article, whether definite or indefinite; &#039;&#039;terg&#039;&#039; is used only to denote very particular topical items, somewhere between the specificity of a definite and a demonstrative, and to form periphrastic possessives with pronouns. Notably, the article is often elided to a clitic &#039;&#039;&#039;t’=&#039;&#039;&#039; attaching either to the following noun or, most commonly, to a preceding preposition.<br /> <br /> While the definite article is often preserved in colloquialized prayers and turns of phrase to a degree not seen in authentic spoken Middle Olgish, elision is usually applied where it would be in the spoken register, oftentimes creating the most notable distinctions between a prayer’s formal and colloquial variants.<br /> <br /> ==Writing system==<br /> Developed specifically for his early form of Middle Olgish and popularized through his translation of the Lonsorigi, [[Fádin’s Calligraphy]] is the script most commonly used in writing formal Middle Olgish, while the simplified [[Lécaronian alphabet]] based thereof is the most widely seen in informal and utility writing. Both systems retain many Early Middle and even [[Old Olgish]] contrast eliminated in spoken Middle Olgish, leaving many written Middle Olgish forms unpredictable from their spoken counterparts and leading to a great variety in spellings, particularly among lesser-educated writers.<br /> <br /> Prior to Fádin’s day, the most widely used writing system is the [[Old Olgish alphabet]], which more directly corresponds to the [[Old Olgish runes]]. Considered a mere style variant rather than an independent script, it is used alongside Lécaronian writing for centuries, only gradually falling in disfavour for its more cumbersome letter shapes. It remains in sporadic use until the [[Late Imperial Era]], particularly in the context of inscriptions, dedications, and other short texts meant to evoke the [[Lonsorigi#Book of Belkondíl|age of Olgish heroes]].<br /> <br /> ==Language Samples==<br /> [[The Hunter’s Plea]], example of a formal prayer colloquialized into Middle Olgish:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&#039;&#039;Käronin, Awolin, Delgorin! T’detúnor hwénir tapa kálara närm dwa t’detáram dérita i dikara. Hínas tú náma darek i ‘ekos dimórino. Ílgarin, Elgekan, Noldáran! T’detúnor hwénir tapa jána närm dírika i nioma.

As common across the [[Ortûlékian languages|Ortûlékian family]], affixes attach fairly freely to hosts of various syntactic categories, their exact function varying with host category.<br /> ===Verbal morphology===<br /> {| class=&quot;wikitable&quot;<br /> |+ Middle Olgish Verbal Morphology<br /> ! !! scope=&quot;col&quot; colspan=&quot;2&quot; | Indicative<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; colspan=&quot;2&quot; | Subjunctive<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; colspan=&quot;2&quot; | Imperative/Optative<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; |<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | SG<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | PL<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | SG<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | PL<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | SG<br /> ! scope=&quot;col&quot; | PL<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | 1<br /> | &#039;&#039;-e&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-a&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ek&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ak&#039;&#039; || — || -am<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | 2<br /> | &#039;&#039;-o&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-o&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ek&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ak&#039;&#039; || -em || -om<br /> |-<br /> ! scope=&quot;row&quot; | 3<br /> | &#039;&#039;-e&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-a&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ek&#039;&#039; || &#039;&#039;-ak&#039;&#039; ||-em || -em<br /> |}<br /> <br /> Middle Olgish mostly preserves the paradigms of its [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Liturgical]] counterpart, albeit with greater degrees of syncretism, in particular in the subjunctive. The bare imperative of [[Old Olgish|Old]] and [[Liturgical Middle Olgish|Liturgical Olgish]] is merged with the old optative, extending its &#039;&#039;-m&#039;&#039; suffix to all forms in the paradigm; while these new endings become the norm in informal spoken language and are used even more widely in [[New Olgish]], the older bare forms are preferred in more formal contexts, particularly prayers adapted directly from [[Saint Fádin|Fádin’s]] [[Lonsorigi]]. Person/number coding is subject to considerable underspecification; traditionally, the &#039;&#039;-e&#039;&#039; ending is glossed to express singularity and the &#039;&#039;-a&#039;&#039; ending plurality, while the &#039;&#039;-o&#039;&#039; ending is thought to represent the second person in particular.<br /> <br /> ===Adjectival morphology===<br /> Adjectives do not agree with the nouns they modify, like in most Olgish dialects. While they commonly appear as (pseudo-)predicates bearing verbal suffixes, the adjective-specific morphology is limited to comparison; the comparative is coded with &#039;&#039;&#039;-ár&#039;&#039;&#039; and the superlative with &#039;&#039;&#039;-ún&#039;&#039;&#039;. These are among the most commonly ‘host-travelling’ affixes and frequently appear a qualifiers in nominal and verbal constructions.<br /> <br /> ===Nominal morphology===<br /> Similar to adjectives, Middle Olgish nouns display very limited morphological coding. With morphological case already lost in later Old Olgish, the only feature overtly coded for on nominals is number; Middle Olgish largely continues the highly irregular plural forms of Old Olgish but already shows some tendency towards regularization, in particular in replacing non-concatenative elements with suffixes. The already common plural suffixes &#039;&#039;-im&#039;&#039;, &#039;&#039;-in&#039;&#039;, and &#039;&#039;-a&#039;&#039;, along with the ethnonymic suffix &#039;&#039;-i&#039;&#039; are increasingly preferred, eventually leading to the nearly complete regularization of plural suffixes in [[New Olgish]].<br /> <br /> ==Syntax==<br /> Syntax in Middle Olgish matrix clauses follows a verb-second pattern, with the additional limitation that only subjects and topicalized prepositional phrases and adverbial modifier phrases can appear in C /spec, with subjects being by far the most common. Base-generated word order seems to be SVO, and the vast majority of clauses also follow this pattern on the surface, including all subordinate clauses.<br /> <br /> Determiner phrases follow the general pattern &#039;&#039;&#039;[Determiner [Numeral [Noun Adjective]]]&#039;&#039;&#039;. Possession can be coded for in two ways, i) by forming a possessive adjective from the possessor noun with the suffix &#039;&#039;-in&#039;&#039; (heavily preferred by [[Saint Fádin|Fádin]] and the only possessive permitted in Liturgical Middle Olgish) or ii) by forming a possessive compound wherein the possessor precedes the possession (common in Old Olgish and informal Middle Olgish, but moribund already in Fádin’s time and practically out of use by the end of the Middle Olgish period).<br /> <br /> ===Serial IP constructions===<br /> A hallmark feature of the [[Olgish languages|Olgish family]] are serial IP constructions, also present in Middle Olgish, albeit somewhat rarer than in Old and Liturgical Olgish. The subject of an Olgish sentence can in theory take an arbitrary number of IPs (including objects and modifiers) as its complement without the need for conjunctions or other overt function coding; this is most commonly used to either list simultaneous or subsequent actions (and then equivalent to a coordination with dropped subject pronouns) or to add information on the subject itself (then equivalent to a relative clause with a null-marker).<br /> <br /> This rule broadly extends to all syntactically independent nouns in Olgish, although for most non-subjects the possible applications of this construction are largely limited to that of a quasi-relative clause. In this context, such a construction may also (and possibly more usefully) analysed as a nominalized clause as a whole, rather than an IP nested in an NP.<br /> <br /> Any nominal can further take on an IP containing its referent as a non-subject argument or modifier in the same manner. In this case, a pronoun coreferential with the noun in question will appear immediately following the verb, bare if it is a direct object or in a Prepositional Phrase if it is a modifier or indirect object. This special case is the only instance where the Olgish languages permit VOS order; this can be modelled as the lower V projection as a whole being raised to the I head while the subject remains in its base position in &#039;&#039;v&#039;&#039;P /spec (assuming the serialized/noun-dependent IP does not generate beyond the I head/the governing noun sits in a virtual IP /spec).<br /> <br /> As there is no overt relative construction in the Olgish languages, serial IPs are the most widely used form of clausal apposition.<br /> <br /> ===The definite article===<br /> <br /> Middle Olgish shares the universal definite article, &#039;&#039;&#039;terg&#039;&#039;&#039;, with Liturgical Middle Olgish. Unlike in the latter, this is used rarely and somewhat irregularly in colloquial Middle Olgish, comparable to the similar development in Biblical Greek. Most nouns appear without an article, whether definite or indefinite; &#039;&#039;terg&#039;&#039; is used only to denote very particular topical items, somewhere between the specificity of a definite and a demonstrative, and to form periphrastic possessives with pronouns. Notably, the article is often elided to a clitic &#039;&#039;&#039;t’=&#039;&#039;&#039; attaching either to the following noun or, most commonly, to a preceding preposition.<br /> <br /> While the definite article is often preserved in colloquialized prayers and turns of phrase to a degree not seen in authentic spoken Middle Olgish, elision is usually applied where it would be in the spoken register, oftentimes creating the most notable distinctions between a prayer’s formal and colloquial variants.<br /> <br /> ==Writing system==<br /> Developed specifically for his early form of Middle Olgish and popularized through his translation of the Lonsorigi, [[Fádin’s Calligraphy]] is the script most commonly used in writing formal Middle Olgish, while the simplified [[Lécaronian alphabet]] based thereof is the most widely seen in informal and utility writing. Both systems retain many Early Middle and even [[Old Olgish]] contrast eliminated in spoken Middle Olgish, leaving many written Middle Olgish forms unpredictable from their spoken counterparts and leading to a great variety in spellings, particularly among lesser-educated writers.<br /> <br /> Prior to Fádin’s day, the most widely used writing system is the [[Old Olgish alphabet]], which more directly corresponds to the [[Old Olgish runes]]. Considered a mere style variant rather than an independent script, it is used alongside Lécaronian writing for centuries, only gradually falling in disfavour for its more cumbersome letter shapes. It remains in sporadic use until the [[Late Imperial Era]], particularly in the context of inscriptions, dedications, and other short texts meant to evoke the [[Lonsorigi#Book of Belkondíl|age of Olgish heroes]].<br /> <br /> ==Language Samples==<br /> [[The Hunter’s Plea]], example of a formal prayer colloquialized into Middle Olgish:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&#039;&#039;Käronin, Awolin, Delgorin! T’detúnor hwénir tapa kálara närm dwa t’detáram dérita i dikara. Hínas tú náma darek i ‘ekos dimórino. Ílgarin, Elgekan, Noldáran! T’detúnor hwénir tapa jána närm dírika i nioma. Hínas tú náma darek i ‘ekos dimórino. Dúrita i ‘ébeka dem dérinem!&#039;&#039;&lt;br / &gt;&lt;br /&gt;<br /> ‘I call upon the powers of Käron, Awol, and Delgor! Bestow your protection upon our journey so that on your land we be successful and remain unharmed. We will take only according to our needs and nothing you cannot spare. I call upon the powers of Ílgar, Elgeka, and Noldára! Bestow your protection upon our hunting so that we accomplish great feats and keep our way. We will take only according to our needs and nothing you cannot spare. This is the oath for our hunt!’&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> The LCC11 Conscript Relay torch in Middle Olgish:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&#039;&#039;Ním ilisek kéla ahandärnek nauko. Dua té lárnur halne gelnau ráne dí kassa duat’ hern, nert elikún hárár. Binne eta wiss, eta Sosk, eta hína tér dua ilon.

Sometimes in the evening, I wonder why I work so hard preparing food at home despite so many other, more relaxing options; options like the inn, a Sosk, or all the things at the market. Tonight, the prospect of food with much salt and oil and sugar would make me happy, despite the greater cost. Let me tell you: It would be good if you went to the Sosk. A wise person remembers when their mother cooked the best food for them; and so also what pleasure good food is for the family.’&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> Middle Olgish, along with the [[Olgish writing#Lécaronian Alphabet|Lécaronian Alphabet]], was used for the [https://conlang.org/language-creation-conference/lcc11/lcc11-relay/ LCC11 Conscript Relay] in 2025.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Olgish languages]][[Category:Languages]]</div>
