===Nouns===

Nouns (''véliach'') and adjectives (''astūvellách'') have a rich morphology, albeit less ornate than verbs. They inflect for number (''ðūré'') and state and belong to genders, which interact with definiteness in a complex manner. State categories include definiteness (''thrȳ́zamétīd'' 'rememberedness'), possessedness (''ránmolíħe'' 'attribution') and predicative state (''dylvanlíħe''). Nouns have ~~singular (''cḗminnáth'')~~, ~~dual (''líntáth'')~~ and ~~plural (''ūráth'')~~ numbers, and animate, inanimate, and abstract/honorific 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.

Proper names are indeclinable, i.e. they are always definite, and cannot be possessed.
