-Both nouns and adjectives inflect for definiteness, as follows:
-*Singular: -as (after C) or -sr (after V)
-*Plural: -il (replacing the plural suffix ''-r'' if any)
-Examples:
-*''xadr'' = a room
-*''xadras'' = the room
-*''xadrør'' = rooms
-*''xadril'' = the rooms
-*''xadr grú'' = a big room
-*''xadras grú'' = the big room
-*''botr grulr'' = big houses
-*''botil grulr'' = the big houses
-There is no construct state, unlike in Biblical Hebrew. Genitives are expressed with concatenation: ''šem mawkas'' = the king's name.
 To say "this X" or "that X", ''X-as fu'' and ''X-as feni'' (lit. "the X here" and "the X there") are used. To say "this" and "that", you say ''se fu'' and ''se feni'' (where the ''se'' becomes ''ilø'' in the plural).
