	Teonaht - Langmaker
		Teonaht is the language of the Teonim, the human inhabitants of Teon.
		While a nominative language, Teonaht distinguishes between "volitional" and "non-volitional" verbs and subjects, so that the nominative has two forms, "agent" and "experiencer," also reflected in the verbs.
		Teonaht lacks the copula in the present tense.

	Teonaht
		Teonaht is basically Indo-European, we think, but has undergone some mysterious influence from a non-Indo-European source (we think).
		Teonaht is OSV, sometimes SOV, in the main clause.
		Verbs have an infinitive/gerund that is marked with the suffix -rem, -ned, or -ndi.

	Fifth CONLANG Translation Relay 2001 - Teonaht (background and grammar)
		The Teonaht interpretation of this strange little text is that water, a calm entity in the beginning when it was by itself, only became momentous and dangerous when it entered into conflict with the land.
		Teonaht divides its subject up into two forms: agent and experiencer, which in this case refer to a subject that enacts something willfully and a subject that experiences an action or enacts it without will.
		Teonaht reflects this difference in both the article and the verb (never the noun itself, oddly).

	Relay 10/R - Teonaht
		Teonaht is relentlessly OV, and in literary Teonaht OSV: and because it is not synthetic, I resort to terms like subject and object instead of nominative and accusative.
		Teonaht marks verbs, articles, and tense particles for âvolitionality.â It matters to the Teonim, but not necessarily to English speakers, whether a subject or a verb is volitional, i.e., whether a subject is an agent or an experiencer.
		Teonaht is rich in words it derives from old mythologies, and two of the words in this text refer to old gods.

	[conlang] Digest Number 4083
		Teonaht already has a word for that, but I can see a bulimic using the expression euphemistically.
		To which I must comment: _perim_ is very reminiscient of the Ebisédian _Pe'rim_ [p_handr`im], meaning "universe", and one of its idiomatic uses is to serve as a replacement of the verb to be (which does not exist in Ebisédian, ironically enough).
		Teonaht is > overwhelmed by the bysyllabic CVCV noun/verb/adjective that ends in /@/: > cona, bita, epa, etc. I thought of mutating them so that final C and V > switch places: coan, biat, eap, to produce a more diphthongal language.

	Theiling Online: Conlang Relay 11: Ring E: 5/22: Teonaht
		Teonaht makes a distinction between volitional and non-volitional subjects and verbs; you will find only volitional subjects and verbs here, so it's not important to go into this, except to say that a few of the items have the non-volitional definite article on account
		Teonaht at one time put indefinite articles at the end of a noun, but that use is considered archaic, or only employed when it's important to know the volitional status of an indefinite subject.
		Inalienable possession is expressed in two ways in Teonaht, one of which you'll find here: a thing is “with” a person if he or she has it lying around, or has borrowed it.

	Theiling Online: Conlang Relay 13: Ring C: 4/11: Teonaht
		Syntax: Teonaht is normally OSV in syntax, sometimes SOV, with few declensions, except in the pronouns.
		Verbs: Teonaht has a gerundive or verbal noun with three suffixes that shouldn't concern you here; basically the -rem verbs express volitionality, the -ned verbs express non-volitionality, and the -ndi verbs express the stative.
		Where subordination is needed, Teonaht often resorts to a mirroring of syntax: Il kyam elry elepma ravvo-el li gwenda hain.

		Teonaht, pronounced "TAY-oh-noth," is my life-long discovery and invention, which I began documenting in 1962 when I was nine years old and first introduced to Spanish.
		Even if Teonaht is only glimpsed in my stories about it, underneath is the submerged city of its language.

	The 2007 Smiley Award Winner: Teonaht
		Teonaht came to Sally Caves in the form of a kitten, of whom we have no pictures, but which probably (read: probably not) looked like this.
		Teonaht exhibits both head-initial and head-final features—sometimes within the same section of the grammar.
		Regarding Teonaht itself, it seems to be constantly fighting between strongly head-final Old Teonaht, and increasingly innovative modern (or current) Teonaht.
