Morphology

Nouns

The Biblical Hebrew declension system with state, number and possession is mostly preserved. BH's declension system with complex stem changes have been regularized into a system with three principal parts (modulo regular phonetic alterations):

1. the absolute singular,
2. the absolute plural,
3. the construct singular stem (formed by removing any feminine -ath ending).

Adjectives

Adjectives have two principal parts as in Biblical Hebrew:

1. the masculine singular,
2. the masculine plural stem (formed by removing -im from the masculine plural).
