Morphology

Plurals

Plurals are divided into definite and indefinite plurals. The indefinite Plural refers to a multitude of uncertain size, while the definite plural refers to a ,multitude of certain size. The Indefinite plural is constructed by adding the plural marker na in front of the word.The na takes precedenced over any other particles placed in front of the word (such as the article ek).

na gwüt
a multitude of men, a lot of men

ek na gwüt
the multitude of men

The Defenite plural is taken from context and requires no further modifactions.

Vocabulary

The biggest foreign influence on Saruzh historically came from the saruzh language, though loanwords from aydnirian and other languages also exist.
