** As a predicating verb, it is a phonological enclitic when directly following the predicate, regardless of spelling. This means that ''vancí vagú'' (“they are ill”), although primarily stressed as two separate words, constitutes one phonological word, i.e. {{rad-IPA|vancí-vagú|format|nolarge}}, not *{{rad-IPA|vancí vagú|format|nolarge}} or *{{rad-IPA|vancívagú|format|nolarge}}).
*** This means that its forms as an enclitic can acquire light phonetic secondary stress on the ult (or penult if long) for most speakers, i.e. {{tipa|[ˈvantsiːvaˌɡuː]}}, which also contributes to modern Radestrian poetics. Compare {{m|rad|vagú}} when it is not an enclitic, which is stressed as {{rad-IPA|vagú|format|nolarge}}. It is worth noting, however, that the rules for phonetic secondary stress placement are more complex.

From Proto-Laefevic *bʱatah, from Proto-Laenkean *bʱatas (“eye”).

Noun

vat (nominative dual vatund, nominative plural vatir, veður)

Radestrian

Alternative forms

  • -at (enclitic form)

Etymology

From Middle Radestrian hvatt, from Old Radestrian hlatt, inherited from Proto-Radic *hılht, from Proto-Hirdic *p̄ɯl-. from Proto-Laenkean *pɯl-, Suppleted forms from Old Radestrian rnatht, from Proto-Hirdic *snat-, from Proto-Laenkean *(s)natʼ-.

Pronunciation

  • IPA(key)/vat/
    • As a predicating verb, it is a phonological enclitic when directly following the predicate, regardless of spelling. This means that vancí vagú (“they are ill”), although primarily stressed as two separate words, constitutes one phonological word, i.e. /ˈvantsiːvaɡuː/, not */ˈvantsiː ˈvaɡuː/ or */vanˈtsiːvaɡuː/).
      • This means that its forms as an enclitic can acquire light phonetic secondary stress on the ult (or penult if long) for most speakers, i.e. [ˈvantsiːvaˌɡuː], which also contributes to modern Radestrian poetics. Compare vagú when it is not an enclitic, which is stressed as /ˈvaɡuː/. It is worth noting, however, that the rules for phonetic secondary stress placement are more complex.
  • Rhyme: -at (2)
