| ====Notes====
| |
| Like many words in Badul, the word ''elantī'' has its stress on its first syllable by its form in Old Badul ''elan'' due to contact with the Karabuls who spoke Old Entharic where said thing occurred. In some dialects of Badul such as Dwal and in Kuprian, the word ''lant'' or ''land'' is used, as the stress pattern shifted to the middle syllable due to its possession of a broad vowel instead of the first due to their little-to-no contact with Old Entharic.
| |
| | |
| The word ''eln'' originally only meant a female deer but since deer were seen as more feminine and were assigned female pronouns it took over its male counterpart, ''dam'', which is now restricted to literary contexts and is still rare even in that regard.

| ====Notes====
| |
| The dative case is constructed by adding an ''-i'' to the direct object. When there is no direct object, the indirect object gains the ''-i'' suffix.
| |
| | |
| * I gave an apple '''to''' a deer.
| |
| * Thug mi bir wùth'''i''' bir eln.
| |
| | |
| apple (wùth) is the direct object and is being given to the deer which is the indirect object.
| |
| | |
| * I walk '''to''' the deer.
| |
| * Sill mi an eln'''i'''.
| |
| | |
| Now there is no direct object so the indirect object, the deer, gains the ''-i'' suffix. However, this construction is only used for animate objects. Inanimate ojects get the preposition ''han'' instead of a suffix.
