Sadarda!!

Welcome back, in the 6th page of Samarian morphology and grammar, we'll see the Samarian vowel harmony, don't worry, it's easy!

There's two types of vowels in Samarian:
First and Second

First Category:

<a, ä, i, o, u, ö, ü, ý, y>

Second Category:

<e, ë>

yes that's it.

If a suffix is next a first class word then it stays in whatever form it might have, example:

‣ -sám / -sém (-ness)
Súl (beautiful) Súlsám (beauty)

And if the word's second class, the suffix turns as well:

Vtell (curious) Vtellsém (curiousness)

Note: this does NOT apply to person markers (-am, -të, -vas), EXCEPT for 3 irregular verbs (ket 'to go', ël 'to have' and nélv 'to speak/talk)
