Indefinite Articles/Definite Article

Unlike Classical Black Speech, indefinite articles do exist. For "an" and "a" the word ash, or one, is used. These are attached directly to a word by means of an <'> (example: a ruler > ash'durub).

[ ] Definite Articles: Of these, "the" is the most common. Two words exist for this article: kan, and û. Kan is always used at the beginning of a sentence. It is also used when the previous word ends with a "U" or the next word begins with a "U." Û is used in any other situation. The suffix -n₂ is an anaphoric suffix used to mark the noun to which the "the" applies. This is considered archaic and not used in the high or common forms but is gaining popularity again. In any case, these are all optional. They function as extra markers. The true definite article marker is -um.

Yambúrz uses definite conjugation. This means that the suffix -n₃ is added to the verb to which applied to "the noun." For example, in "the horse was killed," -n₃ would attach to killed.
