Djūn nouns are inflected for case and whether the noun carrys the definite article or not
''Eng: I see this man.''




Djūn is an Ergative_Absolutive Language. The Ergative case marks the subject of a transative verb.
c. The Ergative Plural is expressed with the suffix, -(i)dom.




the suffix -(ō)m is added to the noun to mark the Ergative case while no suffix is needed to mark the Absolutive case.
'''Sihledom toi haccēde.'''


''Eng: Worms frighten me.''


Example:


Vinidōm va cīdjī mū


Boy.PLUR-ERG 2PS.ABS have.3P future-particle
== '''II. The Absolutive Case''' ==


Boys will have you


a. The Absolutive case functions as the subject of intransitive verbs and the object of transitive verbs. The Absolutive case is unmarked by morphology but distinguished syntactically. The Absolutive case is also used as the object of postpositions.


the infix -(i)d marks the plural. It comes before the ergative suffix and after the root.


b. The Absolutive pronouns are as follows:


The suffix (though not present in the above sentence) -(ō)n marks that the root carries the definite article. When the word is marked for Ergativity the definite article is not marked. So our above sentence could be translated as "The Boys will have you" or "Boys will have you" depending on context.
