Comitative is the 26th skill in the High Valyrian language course. It's got 3 lessons.
Grammar notes[]
The comitative case is assigned to a person or a being which act as a companion and shares the action. Crucially for Valyrian, the canonical use of the comitative is with an animate object, as shown below:
- The boy ate a pastry with the sister: Taoba lōtintī hāedroma iprattas.
The form of the comitative, as with the instrumental case, varies. The basic form of the singular ending is formed by adding the consonant m to the genitive then adding the theme vowel (though do note the common io to ȳ change).
- NOM: vala "man"
- GEN: valo "of the man"
- COM: valoma "with the man"
For third declension or o theme nouns, we add the consonant s instead:
- NOM: raqiros "friend"
- GEN: raqiro "of the friend"
- COM: raqiroso "with the friend"
In the plural, every single comitative (and instrumental) is formed the same. Simply double the consonant and replace the final vowel with i. Thus, if valoma is “with the man”, then valommi is “with the men”. For an S example, if raqiroso is “with the friend”, then raqirossi is “with the friends”
First and second person pronouns only have m forms in the comitative and instrumental; third person pronouns have unique comitative and instrumental forms. They are summarized below:
- First Person Sg.: ynoma
- Second Person Sg.: aōma
- Third Person Sg.: zijosy/zijomy, josa/joma
- First Person Pl.: īloma
- Second Person Pl.: jemme
- Third Person Pl.: pōntosa/pōntoma
