What they are and how they work.
While Adûnaic noun inflections work much like normal noun cases, they carry nuances unique to Tolkien’s languages and Adûnaic in particular.
There is a total of seven inflections:
The nominative is the base word itself with nothing extra. It is used when the noun is not the subject or part of a verbal compound.
Used when the noun is the subject of the sentence. Not needed if the verb of the sentence has a prenominal prefix indicating the subject noun.
Used only when the noun is part of a verbal compound. As a result, it is the rarest of the inflections.
The plural of the base word.
The Plural of a noun when it is the subject.
Used when indicating a pair of objects denoted by the noun.
Used when the noun indicating a pair of objects is the sentence.
