The definite article comes directly after the noun, hyphenated. Because it is not an affix per se, consonant harmony does not apply. The definite article varies depending on the gender of the noun, but does not indicate the number. There is no indefinite article. Tairqen: -in (eg: meli-in, the parent)
Non-Tairqen animate beings: -ir (eg: qaj'-ir, the bird)
Natural things, body parts: -id (eg: zhupe-id, the tree)
Artefacts: -iz (eg: r'uq-iz, the door)
Intangible things: -il (eg: e*fire-il, peace) ✎ Edit Article ✖ Delete Article
