deiimlerinin

Deiimlerinin is a term used in discussions of a hypothetical language created for world-building and linguistic experimentation. It designates a specific noun form that marks possession by a plural agent.

Etymology and morphology: The form is constructed from the stem deiim, a stand-in noun for a defined group, plus the suffix -lerinin, modeled on the Turkish genitive possessive plural suffix. The suffix conveys both possession and plurality, roughly translating to "the deiims’" in English.

Usage: In the constructed language, deiimlerinin attaches to the head noun to form a possessed noun phrase. Example: deiimlerinin evleri means "the deiims’ houses." The same pattern can appear with adjectives or longer noun phrases: deiimlerinin eski şehirleri "the deiims’ old cities."

Phonology and orthography: The spelling follows a Latin-based orthography typical of the language, with pronunciation guided by its phonological rules. In descriptions, it is treated as two morphemes: deiim- + -lerinin.

Notes: The term is used in conlang textbooks, style guides, and fictional dictionaries as an illustrative example of genitive plural morphology. It bears resemblance to Turkish possessive plural constructions, though it is not a natural-language word.
