===Articles=== | |||
The articles follow their own particular declension. Note that masculine and neuter articles have the same forms in the genitive and dative. | |||

Possessives follow the same declension of articles, as they are diachronically formed from the pronominal genitive attached to an article. Note that the neuter singular has a ''-t-'' inserted before the article. The possessives are:<br/> | |||
'''''minso''' (mintat, minsá, mintí, mintá, mintás)'' "my, mine" - '''''tuso''''' "your (sg.), yours (sg.)" - '''''suso''''' "his/her(s)/their(s)" - '''''nósso''''' "our, ours" - '''''ussá''''' "your (pl.), yours (pl.)" | |||
As an example, only the declension of '''minso''' is given here: | |||

===Adjectives=== | |||
Adjectives follow a declension very similar to articles, although with slightly different endings, as they were originally articles attached to the end of (declined) nouns. The adjectival terminations are: | |||
