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 |
| NC3 | -ugi | -ʋugi | -jugi |
Negative
| ending in a consonant cluster or fricative | ending in anything else | |
|---|---|---|
| NC1 | -sa | -s |
| NC2 | -sa | -s |
| NC3 | -sa | -s |
