The present tense indicator, ''uź'', is used like a [[w:Accidental (music)|natural]] in music. By default, no indicator is used to indicate the present in a non-contextual sentence, but as indicators are continuous, meaning that if an indicator is placed then all succeeding sentences will be in the indicator's tense until a new indicator appears, ''uź'' may be needed to clarify that a sentence does not follow the tense of the previous sentence.<br> | The present tense indicator, ''uź'', is used like a [[w:Accidental (music)|natural]] in music.

Nouns in Moshurian have two forms: the '''infinitive''' and the '''accusative'''. The infinitive, like with verbs, is essentially the raw form of the noun, with no suffixes. The accusative is the infinitive + the suffix ''-géd'', and is used when a verb is ''acting upon'' an object in a sentence. There are some exceptions, such as nouns who's infinitive end with /ŋ/, such as ''[[Contionary:zazuŋ|zazuŋ]]'', and in this case the suffix changes from ''-géd'' to ''-éd''. | Nouns in Moshurian have two forms: the '''infinitive''' and the '''accusative'''.
