===Nouns=== | |||
Nouns are pluralized by adding ''-s''. If the noun ends in a consonant, an epenthetic ''-e-'' is inserted before the plural ending. | |||
If the singular ends in a high vowel (''-u'' or ''-i''), it is changed to its mid counterpart (''-o-'' or ''-e-'' respectively) before adding the plural ending. | |||
===Adjectives=== | |||
Adjectives agree with the nouns they govern in gender, number, and definiteness. | |||
Adjectives are pluralized in the same way as nouns. | |||
===Articles=== | |||
Nouns and adjectives take the definite article: ''su'' (m. sg.), ''sa'' (f. sg.), ''sos'' (m. pl.), ''sas'' (f. pl.) | |||

'''Notes:''' | |||
¹ Verbs with an irregular preterite indicative stem take the irregular ''-ere/-ire'' preterite indicative endings (i.e. ''-i, -isti, -ith, -imus, -istis, -erunt''). <!--Such verbs also form their preterite subjunctive as ''-ere/ire'' verbs, using the preterite stem and endings beginning in ''-es-'' instead of ''-as-''.--> | |||

'''Notes:''' | |||
¹ When the present indicative 1S has an irregular stem, its stem is used to form the present indicative 3S (which takes the ending ''-und'' instead of ''-end''), the present subjunctive, and non-second-person imperatives. | |||
² Verbs with irregular preterite stems have unstressed endings in the 1S and 3S. | |||
<!-- | |||
³ Irregular verbs always form their perfect subjunctive with the same stem as the perfect indicative.--> | |||
