Noun Status and Number

Tavric nouns are built like official records. The root remains visible, and suffixes are added as modular status markers.

Instead of hiding information inside complex inflections, Tavric stacks clear suffixes onto a stable root.

Noun Formula

[ROOT] + [NUMBER / STATUS]

Tavric nouns commonly mark:

  • simple plural

  • collective status

  • agent or office-holder status

  • authorized status

Number

Tavric distinguishes between a simple plural and a collective.

The simple plural marks multiple individual units.

-en = plural

Examples:

  • rek → reken = records

  • port → porten = ports

  • mort → morten = laws

Collective

The collective marks an organized system, network, guild, body, or recognized collection.

-ar = collective

Examples:

  • rek → rekar = record collection / archive-set

  • port → portar = port network

  • mort → mortar = body of law

Agent / Office Holder

The agent suffix marks someone officially registered to perform an action or hold a role.

-ven = agent / office holder

Examples:

  • rek → rek-ven = record-keeper / scribe

  • mort → mort-ven = magistrate

  • nav → nav-ven = navigator

Authorized Status

The authorized suffix marks a noun as officially recognized, sealed, or legally bound.

-tor = authorized / officially recognized

Examples:

  • sal → sal-tor = officially sealed

  • dar → dar-tor = authorized boundary

  • kret → kret-tor = authorized contract
