Senestriana

Senestriana is the name of the dialect of Eserisk spoken by Elven settlers of the Senestrian plains.

Syntax

Senestriana, like Eserisk, follows a rather unusual Object-Subject-Verb(OSV) order. It has two animacy-based genders, named "Aret" ("Sun") and "Orov" ("Moon"). Aret is associated with animacy, life, and danger, while Orov is associated with inanimacy, knowledge, and wisdom.
