Nouns
The noun cluster is formed by a noun, carrying the main meaning, and by other noun-type forms, namely adjectives, which specify this meaning or add other meanings to the main noun. Inside of a noun cluster, the noun can be replaced by a pronoun.
The noun usually closes the noun cluster, being preceded by every other specifying form. Thus, other elements conveying possession and belonging are always placed before the noun, as well as every attributive adjective.
θihefu tōmex the man’s house
amerix gīrex my hand
sēmix sārex the young woman
The role of the noun cluster in the sentence and its number are marked by case and number endings. These endings mark also other adjectival elements inside the noun cluster, resulting this in the process called nominal agreement.
Both attributive and predicative adjectives agree in case and number with the noun they specify. Other elements, which convey possession or belonging do not agree with the main nominal form.
sēmix ǧenex fa tōmešu patū the young man is going home
sēmix ǧenex sūhe ňeṙōrū the young man is bringing the bread
amēriva tōmeva in our house
θihefu tōmeva in the man's house
sēmīx sārēx the young women
sārēx sēmīx imūvī the women are young
The grammar role of noun clusters can be further specified by prepositions, which are placed before the cluster. Thus, it can be stated that the noun cluster can be introduced by a preposition.
θa tōmešu patūm I am going inside the house
