Dairwueh Comparison: A Middle Ground between Fixed Case and Derived Case

I previously described the Dairwueh comparison construction very shortly. If we compare noun₁ to noun₂ with regards to some adjective, we get 

noun₁.nom is adjective-bar noun₂.gen

But this method only works when comparing subjects. It also happens at adverbial comparisons of this type:

Galdun darav-Ø xoge-bar-s Eker-at
Galdun.nom work-3sg hard-er-advl Eker.gen
Galdun works harder than Eker

The noun that is compared to can also be placed directly after the verb, if the comparative is an adverbial.

 

Another construction that occurs is this:

Galdun gadek-Ø sondebre bare Eker-at
Galdun.nom have-3sg big-er.neut.nom house.neut.nom Eker.gen
Galdun has a bigger house than Eker

These adjectives can pertain to any noun phrase in the clause. Comparing non-subjects, however, is a tad more complicated. Noun₂ still needs to be genitive, and will appear directly after the verb. Noun₁ will be followed by the conjunction bale, after which a pronoun that agrees in gender with noun₂ appears, and is of the same case as Noun₁. A few exceptions to this exists, though, pairs such as 'today than tomorrow', 'tomorrow than today', 'here than there', 'there than here', words that still don't exist in the vocabulary.
