Determiners

There are two separate systems of determiners in Arden, each featuring a basic binary opposition: sightability (referent in sight vs. referent not in sight) and reachability (referent in reach vs. referent unreachable).

The four determiners are:

MasculineFeminine
Sightability In sightessinesse
Not in sightirenire
Reachability In reachcíl
Out of reachmés

Sightability can be also expressed through affixes which can be optionally attached to the reachability determiners. (The shape of these affixes is at study; it could be linked to the shape of the stand-alone sightability determiners)

Speakers are free to choose which dimensions they want to convey: sightability, reachability or both.
