Proto-Finnic declension
Fragment of a discussion from User talk:Rua
Thank you for your answers. I meant essive not inessive, sorry about that.
For *s : *h gradation, should I apply the following rules?
- If the stem ends in -Vse- and the nominative ends in -s, then it always weakens when a vowel follows it. The following illative -s- will appear in the strong grade.
- In all other cases, the illative -s- weakens to -h-.
Would these rules give the correct inflections, or are there other considerations? What about verbs with -Vse- stems?
