Uniqueness	Goesk was not meant to be unique, and has many features lifted from English and German. However, a number of its features are decidedly Germanic-looking, yet independently contrived. For example, the prepositions all govern the same three cases; relative clauses are restrictive, non-restrictive, or free depending on the choice of pronoun; reflexive pronoun phrases each comprise a demonstrative determiner before an accusative or dative personal pronoun; the equivalents of English particles each comprise the word "fuer" (for) followed by a preposition. Goesk contains many Germanic and European features modified for the heck of it.
