Dual Inflection


A suffix denoting a pair of an object that is the subject of a sentence, no matter what words are used to describe it.

 

All Nouns: add -ât to the end of the noun (remember vowel-combinations with Strong-II and Weak-II nouns!).

If it is a Strong-I noun with identical base and variable vowels, the noun will undergo A-syncope when the dual suffix is added.

 

Examples:

Kaliyât nakkham anâiyada urudnud.

“The two women came against the people on the mountain.”

Miyât pûhim.

“The twins were crying.”
