Our slumber = Dys an
My brothers = Rhos an
Our vengeance = afah an
So I believe the Dravanian word "an" being used in the phrase may turn a word, which may not have otherwise been possessive, into a possessive. For instance, "Rhos kyn" might mean "The brothers wake."
Wow, that's a nice catch. I didn't even notice it until you pointed it out.
... Now you got me musing on things that might not even be there - like I'm noticing imperatives often have "-ah" words. Will be and must perish. Even vengeance may be a derivative of something akin to "must kill."
I wish I wasn't so rusty in my linguistics.
This could be fun to reverse. I have this "thing" for grammar and syntax. Maybe the programmer. Maybe the linguist. But I bet we could make something to barf out random sentences with enough data.
