Note that where the juxtaposition of an article ending with a vowel and the e- form of the plural causes an awkward stop, -s or -z will be suffixed to the article while retaining the plural prefix of the noun: '''ils/lis eteanar''', "the fawns." | |||
This rule applies with dwindling force to the other classes of Nenddeylyt nouns ('''siffindris, sipperõ'''), and then just applies, by analogy, the common -en plural suffix, occasionally the ni- prefix, especially with the -ndl/-il nouns:<blockquote>'''hilen''', "constellations." | |||
'''tilvan''', "stars." | |||
'''hwendlen''', "infants." | |||
'''fefirilen''', "lightning bolts."</blockquote>NOTE: In Class One N. Nouns, the plural particle can suffix itself to possessive pronouns as well:<blockquote>'''las pelnarn''', "her rivers" | |||
'''lõz ydonar''', "his forests"</blockquote> | |||
