Beginners / Help needed for a senior thesis
« on: March 13, 2013, 09:09:38 am »
Hello there forum!

I'm writing a thesis on constructed languages and Dothraki and since I have some doubts I though to ask the experts!  ;D

I'm a newbie, obviously, and while looking at the wiki page for season one's Dothraki dialogue, I found a sentence that I don't understand... I mean, I do understand it, but I don't know why there's a case instead of another.

The sentence is:

Affin shekh yola she jimma ma drivoe she titha / When sun rises from the west and sets in the east

I was wondering why jimma and titha are in their nominative case and not in their ablative/allative form; I know that there is she, which in this case convey the nominative, but why?

I know that this may be a stupid question, but I don't understand... maybe also because I'm one of the few Italians who has never studied Latin, my bad.
