===Nouns===
Nouns inflect for definiteness, number and case. The definite suffix is ''-ide'' or ''-id-'' when followed by another suffix.
There is a distinction between inalienable and alienable possession: the former uses ''-yl'' [-ÿɰ̃] and the latter uses ''-ol'' [-ɔ̃].
Noun cases:
*-ine /i:n/ = accusative
*-one = dative
*-ase = comitative
*-ate = locative (from ''terin'', house in both Clofabosin and Phormatolide)
*-ium = relativizer
===Pronouns===
''cephin, ceph-'' = this
''fluorin, fluoro-'' = that
''glycin, glyco-'' = who? what?
===Verbs===
There are two tenses in Phormatolide: past, non-past<!--and gnomic-->. The non-past ending is ''-phen'' (related to the Clofabosin agentive ''-fen''), and the past ending is ''-zole''. <!--The gnomic ending is ''-til'', cognate to the gnomic attributive ending ''-tril'' in Clofabosin.-->
In the desiderative, the endings are ''-profen'', ''-prazole''<!--and ''-protil''-->.
====Attributive verbs====
If the subject is the head, the suffix ''-ol'' is attached to the inflected form of the verb:
The present tense attributive uses -yl in place of -phen.
:'''''trych chloroyl'''''
:trych chloro-yl
:world-NOM big-PRES.ATTR
:[ˈtrÿkin ˈχɴ̆ɔrɔỹ]
:''the big world''
:'''''amph phthozolol'''''
:amph phtho-zole-ol
:person-NOM eat-PAST-ATTR
:[ˈaɱf ˈfθɔzɔɴ̆ɔ̃]
:''the person who ate''
Otherwise, the clitic ''-ium'' is attached to the head noun, followed by a relative clause that looks like a finite clause.
:'''''raskium plocazole'''''
:''the water I drank''
