Articles

There is only one article, the definite article, æl‘, which is placed before the noun, agreeing with it in case and number.

	singular	plural
direct	æl‘	æn‘
oblique	æha	æn‘a

Al caso diretto singolare si ritrovano due forme, che si distinguono in base al primo fonema del nome che accompagnano: • ež si prepone ai nomi che iniziano per consonante. • ežd si prepone ai nomi che iniziano per vocale.

Examples:

ež pɔge čəjnnos
the person is singing

ežd ɔne čəjnnos
the woman is singing

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.
