Drow Grammar
I. PLURALIZATION
Withstanding irregular forms, a plural is completed by "en" if it ends in a consonant or "n" if it ends in a vowel.

Singular Plural
Jabbress (Mistress) Jabressen (Mistresses)
Velve (Blade) Velven (Blades)


II. POSSESSIVE CASE
Coincidentally, the possessive case in the Drow language is very similar to the Common Tongue used by most races. The possessive case is completed with "'s" except if the word ends in "s" where upon "'" is added.
Sarn lil velg'larn's inthen {Beware the assassin's schemes}

Nindil zhah lil Valsharess' elgluth {That is the Valsharess' whip}

III. VERBS
A verb has different forms depending on its number (singular or plural); person (first, second, third); voice (active, passive); tense (present, past, future, present perfect, past perfect, future perfect); and mood (indicative, imperative, subjunctive).
NUMBER: Withstanding irregular verbs, the singular form is completed with "ar".

Singular Plural
Lil sargtlin elggar (The warrior kills) Lil sargtlinen elgg (The warriors kill)
Uss jaluk elar (One male dies) Draa jaluken el (Two males die)

PERSON: Verbs usually have a different form only in the third person singular of the present tense. Withstanding irregular verbs, the third person singular of the present tense is completed with "e".

Usstan belbau(I give) Dos belbau(You give) Uk belbaue(He gives)
Usstan luth(I cast) Dos luth(You cast) Il luthe(She casts)

VOICE: A passive verb is a combination of a "be" verb and a past participle.

Active
L'Yathrin harventhe ukt karliik (The Yathrin severs his head)

Passive
Ukt karliik zhahus harventhus a'lil Yathrin (His head was severed by the Yathrin)

TENSE: Withstanding irregular verbs, the past tense is completed with "us".
