Just a couple things not found in the [[Alaia]] article:
* Adjectives only agree in gender when used in attributive position
* Most nouns have natural gender, so inanimates are neuter
* Nouns when ruled by prepositions take the nominative singular.
* Nouns when ruled by prepositions take the nominative singular.
* The preposition '''tas''' 'on' can also mean 'as a [noun]'
* The preposition '''tas''' 'on' can also mean 'as a [noun]'
* Glosses that might not be obvious: {{sc|m}} = masculine, {{sc|f}} = feminine, {{sc|n}} = neuter, {{sc|prf}} = perfect (which is basically a past tense, perfective aspect TAM)
