Det har tydligen pågått en konflikt mellan jägare och skogsbruksbranchen om hur många älgar som ska skjutas i flera år. Skogsbruket tycker skadorna älgarna gör på träden är för stora och vill ha ner populationen, dock har de fått ner den rejält de senaste åren och antalet skadade träd går inte ner för det. Jägarna anser att älgstammen börjar bli för liten och vill skjuta färre så stammen håller sig frisk och de kan skjuta älg även i framtiden. Dock är det markägarna som har sista ordet och så är det med det ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Det är blandade källor är från varierande år.

The next stop on the tour of Orekanav is the basics of nouns. I really like the idea of the end of the nouns changing based on the nature of the noun, e.g. älg (moose) vs. älgen (the moose) vs. älgar (meese) vs. älgarna (the meese) in Swedish, or changing based on its role in the sentence, e.g. hún á fisk (she has a fish) vs. fiskur á hana (a fish has her) in Icelandic. I decided to do a simple version of this, where you just add a number of letters on the end of the noun to indicate all that (though if the noun ends in a vowel, that vowel is usually replaced.) I think in the languages that descend from this I will change the rules on this a bit and add some exceptions to the rules just to make it feel more natural.

For those unfamiliar, the nominative and the accusative cases are kind of like the subject and the object of a sentence, the genitive case is like possession (e.g. the cat's paw, or the hills of the South Downs), the instrumental case is like something being used (e.g. he played music with a flute), the dative case (in Orekanav at least) is like an indirect object (e.g. they gave a pen to Alex), and the locative case is like where something is (e.g. Edd lives with Jamie in an apartment).

I have also made a special lil optional article at the end of words which indicates a relative sort of age (Old or New), but culturally when referring to people, it more often refers to some sort of seniority or social rank.

The next fun fact for this language is that its grammatical genders are inanimate and animate, though none of the nouns in Orekanav are set in one gender or the other. Rather, the animacy that a person assigns to a given word forms part of the way the person views that object, and part of the way the person is trying to interpret that object in the given context. For example, someone might describe rivers as animate to evoke a poetic metaphor about its flow, or describe a silent person as inanimate to emphasise their stillness.

Kvart i fyra kom godstågen in en morgon. De flöt som silvret eller som hur tenn blir blickstilla när man kastar det i vatten. Man kände - i några stora sekunder långa som vintersolen - världen stiga och lyfta som en punkt på en stor älgs skuldra.
