==== Possessives ====

Sometimes you want to say something belongs to something else. You turn a noun into a possessive noun to do so. If we have someone named ''Klaid'' (Clyde in English), we make it a possessive by inserting an ‹l› after the last vowel. ''klaid'' becomes ''klaild''. So ‘Cylde’s tree’ is translated as ''geeth klaild''.

Sometimes you want to say something belongs to something else. You turn a noun into a possessive noun to do so. If we have someone named ''[[Contionary:klaid|Klaid]]'' (Clyde in English), we make it a possessive by inserting an ‹l› after the last vowel. ''[[Contionary:klaid|Klaid]]'' becomes ''[[Contionary:klaild|Klaild]]''. So ‘Cylde’s tree’ is translated as ''[[Contionary:geeth|geeth]] [[Contionary:klaild|Klaild]]''.

If the noun you want to turn into a possessive has a final consonant of ‹l› or ‹r›, you'll have to add ''li'' for all forms that end in ‹l›, and for the singular form that ends in ‹r›. E.g. ''nool'' ‘world’ → ''noolil'' ‘world’s’, ''dar'' ‘crowd’ → ''dalir'' ‘crowd’s’.

If the noun you want to turn into a possessive has a final consonant of ‹l› or ‹r›, you'll have to add ‹-li-› for all forms that end in ‹l›, and for the singular form that ends in ‹r›. E.g. ''[[Contionary:nool|nool]]'' ‘world’ → ''[[Contionary:noolil|noolil]]'' ‘world’s’, ''[[Contionary:dar|dar]]'' ‘crowd’ → ''[[Contionary:dalir|dalir]]'' ‘crowd’s’.
