==Morphology==
===Nouns===
Nouns have 8 inflectional cases (nominative, accusative, genitive, dative, locative, ablative, equative, translative), and have several declensions as in Quenya. The accusative is only used for definite objects, as in Tamil.
====Consonant nouns====
Nouns ending in ''-ai'' also belong to this declension class: ''-y-'' is added to the stem when adding a suffix beginning with a vowel, e.g. ''vezhai'' 'book (nom.)' > ''vezhaiyai'' 'book (gen.)'.
