The {{PAGENAME}} noun system is much simpler than in Cièdian: there is no case, and the masculine and the feminine merged to the common gender. | The {{PAGENAME}} noun system is much simpler than in Cièdian: there is no case, and the masculine and the feminine merged to the common gender. | ||
As in Ciètian, the singular definite article ''ye'' and ''ye<sup>N</sup>'' changes to ''yen'' (with no mutation) before a noun starting with a vowel or a semivowel. For example: | |||
*''*yi<sup>L</sup> ùr'' > ''yin ùr'' /jɪn ˈwɤː/ (masculine) 'the sense (nominative)'; | |||
*''*yi àvr'' > ''yin àvr'' /jɪn ˈæ̂ːvə/ (neuter) 'the book (nominative)'. | |||
