In the singular direct case two forms of the article are listed. The choice between the two forms depends on the first phoneme of the following word:
*ež is placed before a word beginning with a consonant.
*ežd is placed before a word beginning with a vowel.


Examples:
Examples:
  ež pɔge čəjnnos
  suvɛ līlužɛc sōgu pūɣɛrɛ
  <small>the person is singing</small>
  <small>the dog see the house of the man</small>
 
ežd ɔne čəjnnos
<small>the woman is singing</small>


The definite article, both in its singular and plural forms and in any case, can merge with some prepositions to form the so-called articled prepositions. Such forms will be analyzed in a following section.
ṡāhu suvɛ līlužɛc ṡāhu sōgu ṡāhurɛ/ṡāhur pūɣɛrɛ
<small>a dog sees a house of a man</small>
