Nouns are marked with a singular-plural distinction, and may also take possessive suffixes. | Nouns are marked with a singular-plural distinction, and may also take possessive suffixes. Howewer, the lemma form of a noun is typically its combining form, which is the incorporated form of a noun and is also used to form possessed forms and compounds. Unlike [[Thensarian]] and its descendants, Roshterian lost the [[Proto-Talmic]] grammatical gender; gendered pronouns and verb affixes no longer mark grammatical gender, but natural gender (as in [[Naquian]]). There is no definite or indefinite article. | ||
The plural form is inherited from the Proto-Talmic reduplicated collective, and is often formed by reduplication. Example: ''breit'' /bɾɛit/ 'woman', ''bebreit'' /bɛˈbɾɛit/ 'women'. Some irregularities may be present due to the retention of the original single consonant in the reduplicant, as opposed to the stem-initial cluster where the consonants interacted to produce new consonants and clusters. | The plural form is inherited from the Proto-Talmic reduplicated collective, and is often formed by reduplication.
