*two states: [[w:Absolute state|absolute]] and [[w:Construct state|construct]].

Generally, a noun is given in the absolute state, but reformed to the construct state if case-marking is wished to be occulted. The word ''kûn'' "dog", for example, in the sentence ''kûniru'' "the dog" (ABSOLUTE) contains the article ''iru'' "the" attached, which emphasizes the nominative case; however, in ''~~kúfin~~'' "the dog" (CONSTRUCT), there is no such marking, except partially by the inclusion of ''-i-''. This occurrs because ''kûn'' (''kúfn'', ''kúun'', et cetera) is actually interpreted as the formula ''/-//'' (''k-fn''), programmed to become ''/-/V/'' (''k-fVn'').
