==== Number and definiteness ====

{{PAGENAME}} has regularized all plurals to ''-r'' (from a merger of Ancient Cubrite ''-īm'' > ''*-ī'' and ''-ūδ''). ''-u'' nouns become ''-lr'' in the plural: ''þebu, þeblr'' 'a world, worlds'.

Nouns inflect for definiteness, as follows:

*Singular: -as (after C) or -sr (after V)

** -u nouns become -was: ''abu, abwas'' 'an apple, the apple'

*Plural: -il (replacing the plural suffix ''-r'' if any)

** ''ablr, ablil'' 'apples, the apples'

Words ending in a nasal or R-colored vowel add an intrusive R between the final vowel and the plural suffix. Words ending in a long vowel add ''-ør''.

* ''plą'' 'a tree', ''pląrør'' 'trees'

* ''elú'' 'a god', ''~~eluwør~~'' 'gods~~'; ''elúsr'' 'the god, God~~'

* ''elú'' 'a god', ''elúwør'' 'gods'

Some irregular plurals: ''penš, plenš'' = human

*''xadr'' = a room
