Brooding nouns, in their basic form, always end with the sequence consonant-vowel-consonant (i.e. they cannot end in a blended consonant, see above). | |||
=== Number === | === Number === | ||
Nouns can be marked as singular, plural or 'mass' (collective). Mass nouns are nouns that where there are multiple entities in the group, but the group is considered as a coherent whole. For example, a bee would be singular, bees would be plural and a swarm of bees would be a mass noun. | |||
Let's look at the word for 'tree': ''geeth'' | |||
* The basic noun is singular: ''geeth'' | |||
* To make it plural, you take the last vowel in the word and add it to the end of the word: ''geethee'' | |||
* To make it a mass noun, you remove the last consonant: ''gee'' | |||
