Nouns

Noun Class

There are three noun classes in Dosari: humans/animals (NC1), plants/insects (NC2), and inanimate objects/abstract ideas (NC3). These classes deal with what the word is referring to and not what sounds the word contains or ends with.

Article

There are three articles in Dosari: definite (DEF), partitive (PART), and negative (NEG). When there is no article attached to a noun, it is assumed to be indefinite. Articles agree only in noun class and are all suffixes added after any declension a noun might undergo.

Definite

ending in a vowel ending in a consonant
NC1 -n -an
NC2 -m -am
NC3 -g -ag

Partitive

ending in a consonant ending in a front vowel ending in a back vowel
NC1 -uni -ʋuni -juni
NC2 -umi -ʋumi -jumi

Negative
