Philology of New Borneo

Preliminary philological researches into the traditional language of New Borneo have revealed a rich grammar and syntax.

Initial investigation suggests a high complexity of verb forms, covering the following tenses:

Prevalent
Suture
Indigent
Carpet
Aerialist
Pupillate.

A Post-Pupillate is implied but not yet demonstrated.

The following Moods have been identified:

Vindictive
Consumptive
Decorative.

Each Mood is known in four Forms:

Actual
Plastic
Conjugal
Refractive.

The language is inflected. These Cases have been recognised:

Normative
Accumulative
Generative
Sedative
Palliative

It is believed that Laxative and Evocative Cases are also present, although their form has not yet practically been distinguished from the Accumulative.
