Ruby's Greek Thread

Ruby, In Slovenian language, aiv is definitelly the grammatical ending for adjectives and verbs. Regardless of how you transcribe ain (an, ain, aiv, aw) - these are all grammatical endings in Slovenian. The ending -aiv is most characteristic for the adjective, such as in the word LEKAIV (healing - constructed from LEK/medicine and -iv), but in the VM, where W is used for phonetic U or V, it can also be the ending for noun  - DAN (EVA-dain) could be translated into Slovenian as DAN - nominative case for 'a day'. Or it can be translated as DAN - passive masculine of 'give'  (given). If transliterated as DAIV, it can be pronounced as DAJIV - he was repeatedly giving, and DAW, pronounced as DAU means 'he gave'.
