-<!-- How do the words in your language look? How do you derive words from others? Do you have cases? Are verbs inflected? Do nouns differ from adjectives? Do adjectives differ from verbs? Etc. -->
 The root ''QUE-'' "speech" descends from Adamic ''-q-f-l-'' "speech", or more specifically, from its canonic verbal form ''qua-''. The root ''KHÚ-'' "dog" derives from ''hū-'' "to bark". The root ''LÁ-'' from ''lā-'' "to use the tongue". ''KHE-'' from ''qia-'' "to see"...
+For any root ending in a consonant, one merely adds ''-u'' [Adamic ''-u''] to form the singular.
+:''NUR-'' "death" > ''nuru'' "death"
 If no suffix is added to the root, the singular is formed by adding ''-le'' (canonic ''-l'') if the last vowel is any other than ''u''. In case it is not, an ''-o'' [Adamic ''-u''] is added instead.
