The vast majority of roots in ametdantar are nouns. Subject agreement particles and the infinitive suffix -ad also function as verbalizers. There is no distinction between adjectives and adverbs, but both are placed immediately before the element they modify -- so adjectives will always be before nouns and adverbs will usually be before verbs.
ametdantar has four cases: nominative, accusative, dative, and genitive. The nominative is unmarked. The accusative and dative are optionally marked, as they can also be determined by word order, and their markings when used are -ku and -kul respectively. The genitive is marked by -sia.

<!-- Example: Word order, qualifiers, determinatives, branching, etc. -->
