 Generally the nouns and the adjective ending in ''e-'', ''-em'', ''-en'', ''-el'' (except for the feminine nouns) and ''-er'' are stressed on the last but one syllable.
 However it is advisable to learn the pronunciation of every word as you learn them.

+==Nouns, gender and number==
+Nouns in Aarlaansk can be either '''common''' or '''neuter''': the previously masculine and feminine genders have merged into the common one, whereas the neuter has remained the same. Nouns have got two forms: '''singular''', that indicates one object, person, animal, concept, and so forth, and '''plural''', that indicates more than one object, person, animal, concept, and so on.
+Generally the plural is formed with the terminations:
+) ''-s'', if the noun ends with a vowel or ''-l'', ''-n'', ''-r'';
+) ''-e'', if the noun ends with a consonant (except ''-l'', ''-n'', ''-r'').
+The substantives that end with ''-f'' or ''-s'' mutate ''f'' into ''v'' and ''s'' into ''z'', ex.: ''zilf'', "wood, forest", has got a plural ''zilve'', "woods, forests"; ''tens'', "time", has got a plural ''tenze'', "times".
+Here are some nouns with their gender, their plural and their meaning:

+Some nouns show some changes in their structure:
+* ''zilf'' > ''zilve'';
+* ''baas'' > ''baze''.
+This is due to the phonetic rules: in the word ''zilf'', the ''f'' becomes voiced due to its position between a voiced consonant and a vowel, so ''zilf'' becomes ''zilve''.
+The last word, ''baas'', shows a change in the written form of the long vowel and at the same time a voicing of the last consonant.
