The grammatical state consists on the morphological formation triggered in exceptional syntactic constructions with the Triptote Formula (responsible for articles, pronouns, et cetera). That is: the latter will become a transfix responsible for rearranging the root-pattern into a verbal formula. | The grammatical state consists on the morphological formation triggered in exceptional syntactic constructions with the Triptote Formula (responsible for articles, pronouns, et cetera).

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" (<small>ABSOLUTE</small>) contains the article ''iru'' "the" attached, which emphasizes the nominative case; however, in ''kufin'' "the dog" (<small>CONSTRUCT</small>), there is no such marking, except partially by the inclusion of ''-i-'' (the first vowel of the | Generally, a noun is given in the absolute state, but reformed to the construct state if case-marking is wished to be occulted.

This occurrs because ''kûn'' (''kúfn'', ''kúun'', et cetera) is actually interpreted as the formula ''/-//'' (''k-fn''), programmed to become ''/-/V/'' (''k-fVn''). The process may be less straightforward in other instances: | ||
