Noalath

Pronunciation

IPA(key): /ˈʃi/

Pronoun

shi

  1. objective form of hus
Inflection

Creation and Usage Notes

This pronoun was the bane of my existence. Noalath came out way, way too "shushy", and this pronoun had a lot to do with it. I never should've associated palatal consonant mutation with the objective. I probably should've done v-mutation and stuck Shushy McShushface with the vocative. Oh well. Live and learn.
