Nouns (''véliach'') and adjectives ('' | Nouns (''véliach'') and adjectives (''astūvellách'') have a rich morphology, albeit less ornate than verbs. They inflect for number (''ðūré''), definiteness (''thrȳ́zamétīd'' 'rememberedness') and possessedness (''ránmolíħe'' 'attribution'), but not for case. Nouns have singular (''cḗminnáth''), dual (''líntáth'') and plural (''ūráth'') numbers, and masculine (''qulzáth'') and feminine (''deiáth'') genders. In third-person possessed forms, Themsarian makes a distinction, realized tonally, between the ''absolute'' possessed form, which indicates a noun possessed by a pronoun, and the ''conjunct'' possessed form, used to indicate a possessive relationship between two nouns and agreeing with the gender of the possessor. | ||
