*I'm in the process of updating my noun and adjective declensions. Basically, I'm changing how the plurals and definite form. I'm hiding my noun and adjective pages for the time being while working on updates.
Basically, nouns will take different suffixes for definiteness and number according to their gender. These will the new definite singular, indefinite plural, and definite plural endings respectively: common: -le, -be, -the masculine: -lo, -be, -tho feminine: -la, -be, -tha neuter: -ne, *-ér, -erde celestial: -no, *-ór, -ordo terrestrial: -na, *-ár, -arda *The neuter/celestial/terrestrial indefinite plural suffixes replace final -e/-o/-a and attracts stress to itself. It is not a typo that common/masculine/feminine nouns all have the same plural suffix. The inanimate genders more or less do as well, -(e)r. For illustration, here are some nouns from each gender, in the indefinite singular, definite singular, indefinite plural and definite plural of the nominate case: deer: jedhes, jedheles, jedhebe, jedhethe man: deros, derolos, derobe, derotho woman: lopnas, lopnalas, lopnabe, lopnatha finger: dore, dorene, dorér, dorerde apple: belo, belono, belór, belordo potato: rida, ridana, ridár, ridarda |
