Noun Marking System

Early Vulgar Arraniol lost the definite and indefinite distinction as unstressed suffixes gets reduced and merged. Plural marking survived in its reduced form and has only 2 numbers: singular (unmarked) and plural (suffix -ku), with the dual number disappeared entirely. Sacred words were still considered inherently definite, but they still allow the number suffix. Agreement is optional but acceptable within a sentence.

Examples:

1. Amun “human / a human”

2. Amunku “humans”

3. Monər “monster / a monster”

4. Monərku “monsters”

Noun Case System

Early Vulgar Arraniol collapses Eonic Arraniol’s 13 cases down to 10 cases, split between suffixes and particles.

Examples:

1. Gharubki “at the house”

2. Gharubul amun “house of the man; the man’s house”

Genitive Cases:

1. -l suffix used by default, fast and informal speech

2. -ul suffix used as phonological repair for clarity or after clusters

3. al particle used in formal register
