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 introduces the noun cluster, being followed by every other specifying form. Thus, other elements conveying possession and belonging are always placed after the noun, as well as every attributive adjective.
së̥na ćo̥nuhaš the man’s house
ci̥rë ë̥laš my hand
śepḁt ure̥hli 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.
jaħše̥re ćo̥nuh ure̥hli ru̥h së̥naʔ the young man is going home
së̥na lḁš our house
eśpu̥t orhe̥li the young women
ʔe̥net eśpu̥t orhe̥li 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.
jomaʔe̥tu nü̥h së̥naʔ I am speaking about the house
