II. Grammar Structure
Word Order: VSO
Xdripian follows a Verb-Subject-Object word order, typical of ancient mystical languages. This structure places the action first, emphasizing the dynamic nature of reality.
Adjective Placement: Pre-Nominal
Adjectives in Xdripian precede the noun they modify. This placement emphasizes the quality or attribute before the entity itself, reflecting the mystical belief that essence precedes form.
Pattern: ADJECTIVE + NOUN
| Xdripian | Structure | English |
|---|---|---|
| magno kristyx | great + crystal | "great crystal" |
| vetrus quaris | ancient + wisdom | "ancient wisdom" |
| sakros glypha | sacred + glyph | "sacred glyph" |
| luminos astros | bright + star | "bright star" |
Adjectives with Temporal Verbs
When adjectives modify time-related concepts with verbs, they still precede the noun:
Multiple Adjectives
When multiple adjectives modify a single noun, they follow a hierarchy based on permanence and intrinsic quality:
Size → Age → Quality → Material → Purpose + NOUN
Adverbs: Flexible Placement
Unlike adjectives, adverbs have flexible placement in Xdripian sentences. They can appear:
- Sentence-final (most common): Fluat koros nova "Time flows always"
- Pre-verbal (emphasis): Nova fluat koros "Always flows time" (poetic)
- Post-subject (rare): Fluat koros, nova, dent kosmos "Flows time, always, in the cosmos"
Morphological Type
Xdripian is a synthetic-fusional language, meaning grammatical relationships are expressed through inflections (suffixes and prefixes) that may convey multiple pieces of information simultaneously.
- Six noun cases (Nominative, Accusative, Genitive, Dative, Locative, Instrumental)
- Verb conjugation for person, number, tense, and mood
- No grammatical gender
- Extensive use of compound words for mystical concepts
- Pre-nominal adjectives (adjective before noun)
- Flexible adverb placement (usually sentence-final)
Complete Sentence Examples
III. Nouns & Cases
The Six Cases
Xdripian nouns decline through six cases to express grammatical relationships:

| Dative | Indirect object, "to/for" | -eth | kristyxeth - to the crystal |
| Locative | Location, "at/in" | -ara | kristyxara - at/in the crystal |
| Instrumental | Means/tool, "by/with" | -yx | kristyxyx - by means of the crystal |
Number
| Number | Formation | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Singular | Base form | kristyx - crystal |
| Plural | -ix (after consonants) -en (after vowels) |
kristyxix - crystals astraen - stars |
IV. Verbs & Conjugation

All Xdripian verbs in their infinitive (unconjugated) form end in -ath.
