Causative Verbs
4 verbs can be used to form causatives and have a unique syntax when they do
Gären- Indicates making someone do something
Ig gär mina huff in Joħanne vasken.
I made Joħann wash my dog.
Geven-Indicates giving someone something to do. Mostly used in formal and antiquated speech
Ig gav mina huff in Joħanne vasken. (Nowadays typically: "Ig gav Joħanne mina Huff vasken.")
I gave Joħann my dog to wash.
Haten- Indicates having/getting something done. Notice that it's Haten and not Haven as you might expect
Ig het mina huff in Joħanne vasken.
I got/had my dog washed by Joħann./I got Joħann to wash my dog.
Leten- Indicates letting something be done
Ig légh mina huff in Joħanne vasken.
I let/had Joħann wash my dog.
When Gären, Haten, and Leten are used with intransitive verbs, the object marked by In is replaced by a direct object such as:
Ig légh Joħannen furleten.
I let Joħann leave.

Re: Þrinn: The Mid-Germanic Language
Professions
Terms for professions have to be one of the most controversial in Thrinn due to a perceived sense of sexism. The vast majority of words for professions are masculine and unlike German there are no feminine forms so when describing a woman with that profession, the masculine form has to be used. For the few feminine exclusive terms the opposite is also true. Although many Thrinn speakers never think about this, there is a decent percentage of Thrinn speakers who have looked for alternatives. Some (especially around the border with Germany) have proposed simply borrowing German's -in prefix for the feminine form while others have proposed turning the nouns into neuter. For both proposals, they only really apply to first declension masculine nouns, with nouns like Vrakka and Sjúksester still having no clear feminine and masculine forms respectively. Professions that aren't masculine are marked.

Let me know if there's anything you want to see coverRe: Þrinn: The Mid-Germanic Language
It's good to see that you really go into details, but also don't lose your spirit and continue writing about whatever you like or find interesting in the moment.
Wipe the glass. This is the usual way to start, even in the days, day and night, only a happy one.

Re: Þrinn: The Mid-Germanic Language
Compound Words
Like German, Thrinn has a large number of compound words in everyday use and even more grammatically correct ones can be made up on the spot. Unlike German though, compound words undergo spelling changes to keep them in line with the rules of Thrinn orthography.
If the first word ends with any vowel besides A or E or a vowel followed by a single consonant, that vowel adds an acute accent if the word it's being compounded with starts with any consonant in order to keep that vowel long e.g: Bloð (blood) + Punk (old word for tick) = Blóðpunk (tick)
If the first word ends with A or E the spelling to the word is never changed but the pronunciation may or may not be. If the following word starts with a vowel or single consonant, the A/E remains long. If the following word starts with multiple consonants however, A/E is pronounced short.
If the first word ends with a vowel followed by two of the same consonant, one of those consonants is removed as it becomes redundant before another consonant to keep the vowel short e.g: Frett (ferret) + Katt (cat) = Fretkatt (ringtail)
If the second word starts with an H, it becomes Ħ e.g.: Jag (hunt) + Huff (dog) = Jágħuff (Hound)
There are a few exceptions to this though:
*Computermasjine (computer) always becomes Computer e.g: Computerfröde (computer science)
*Earðe (Earth) always becomes Earð e.g: Earðskak (earthquake)
*Júlnfest (Christmas) always becomes Jul e.g: Júlfurhe (Christmas tree)
*Nazist (Nazi) always becomes Nazi e.g: Naziparti (Nazi Party)
*Nátflgor (bat) always becomes Flgor e.g: Huflgor (flying fox)
*Pákfest (Easter) always becomes Pak e.g: Paka (Easter egg)

Re: Þrinn: The Mid-Germanic Language
Words with Similar Meanings
There are a lot of nouns in Thrinn with fairly specific meanings. Here are some words that may be translated into English the same but have slightly different semantic differences
Aken vs. Gahen
Aken typically means Drive/Travel (By Vehicle) but also means Go when talking about trips that involve staying overnight at least once. If the trip is mostly walked (E.G: a camping trip), Gahen is used instead. Gahen is used to mean Go in all other scenarios.
Angären vs. Ljötjen
Both mean to Turn On, however Ljötjen is used for items involving a light such as a television or phone while Angären is used for all other items.
Benemen vs. Srüggeven
Both mean Return/Give Back, however, Benemen refers to returning objects that were either stolen or taken without permission while Srüggeven is used in all other situations.
Blað vs. Löv
Can both mean Leaf depending on the situation. Typically Blað is used when talking about the leaves of most plants or the petals of flowers while Löv is used exclusively for the leaves of trees. However, Löv is occasionally used when talking about other kinds of leaves, but never flower petals. Blað also means blade in all uses of the word.
Fugu vs. Kugelfisk
Both mean Blowfish/Pufferfish. Originally Fugu referred specifically to the Japanese delicacy but has since taken over for all uses while Kugelfisk is restricted to use in Zoology (never for the dish) and can commonly be seen in related materials such as books and television shows.
Fürnt vs. Naltf
Both mean Never but Fürnt is only used in the future tense (or implies it) and has the implication that the speaker has absolutely no doubt that something will never occur. Naltf means Never in all other situations.
Hamurd vs. Hus
Hamurd means Home while Hus means House, however Hamurd can never occur after a preposition and is replaced with Hus then, such as in the phrases Aw Huse (From Home), Furrem Huse (At Home), and In Hus ((To) Home).
Hö vs. Lang
Hö typically means High and Lang typically means Long but both can also mean Tall. When referring to things not typically tall to begin with (E.G: people), Lang is used. When referring to things typically tall to begin with (E.G: buildings and trees), Hö is used.
Ingahen vs Ingären
Both synonymous for Enter/Go In/Come In but Ingahen is considered slightly more formal and as a result is not as common in spoken speech as Ingären.
Kokon vs. Skälken vs. Vigh
All mean cocoon. Skälken refers to a butterfly’s cocoon/chrysalis and Vigh refers to a moth’s cocoon. Kokon is used in all other situations and can be used figuratively. If the speaker isn’t sure if it’s a butterfly or moth cocoon, Kokon is often used instead.
Kniv vs. Mäzax vs. Zäßken
All mean Knife but all refer to different kinds of knives. Mäzax refers to any knife used to eat with, Zäßken refers to any knife used to kill or severly harm (and also means Dagger as a result), while Kniv refers to all other kinds of knives.
Numer vs. Tale
Both mean number, however Numer is used for numbers in a sequence that are allocated to something (such as a telephone number or numbers of identification). Tale means number in all other circumstances.
Stevna vs. Voz
Both mean Voice. Voz refers specifically to the sound of the human voice and the unique voices possessed by individual people. Stevna is used to refer to voices in all other circumstances as well as to refer to the human voice as a whole.

Surprisingly not. A sheet of paper is an ark while a page is a siðaLambuzhao wrote:Is one of these used for 'sheet' or even 'page' ?
For that you'd want the phrase naltf äg nö!. Nö is actually a fossil word that only occurs in that expression. It's an old contraction of nen ö.Lambuzhao wrote:Can one use both together { fürnt naltf! } to mean a really emphatic "Never ever ever!", akin to :spa: ¡nunca jamás!

Russian Transcription
I thought this would be an interesting topic to bring up and different from most of my posts. Due its close proximity as well as historical close ties to Russia, Thrinn has a fairly long history with transcribing Russian. Many Russian loanwords are written with this transcription and many members of the Russian diaspora in Thrinn even make use of it. Although Thrinn's transcription accounts for many changes in pronunciation not accounted for in writing, it doesn't account for them all. Letters transcribed with non-long vowels always follow the normal rules of short vowels while those marked as being transcribed with acute-accent vowels follow the normal rules of long vowels in Thrinn. The pronunciation given for each letter is the Thrinn approximation of the word.

Gemstones is a pretty cool topic idea but all the names for them in Thrinn are just slight variations for what you'd find for them in English, German, etc.
