[[Nurian]] is the most conservative [[Talmic]] language morphology-wise; it preserves much of [[Thensarian]] morphology.

Degree for adjectives


==Nouns==
Nurian nouns have one of three genders (masculine, feminine, neuter) and inflect in two numbers (singular and plural) and in case/state (absolute nominative, absolute genitive, construct).
Nouns and adjectives fall into predetermined declension classes, regardless of the [[Thensarian]] etymology. Exceptions are some irregular nouns and adjectives.
