=== Vowel Harmony ===
 
−
In Urum, vowels in suffixes - for example, in number or case suffixes - depend on what the last vowel of the stem of the word was. The last vowel of the word stem can be:
 
−
 
−
# '''high''' (а, о, у, ы)
 
−
# '''low''' (a, o, y, ы),
 
−
# '''rounded''' (o, y, ö, ÿ)
 
−
# '''unrounded''' (a, э, ы, и).
 
−
 
−
There are '''two types of suffixes''' (check the '''last vowel''' that comes BEFORE):
 
−
 
−
'''First''': if the last vowel is wide, the suffix will be “a”
 
−
if high, the suffix will be “э”
 
−
 
−
# If low, the suffix will be “a”
 
−
 
−
'''Second''':
 
−
# If '''low''' and '''unrounded''', “ы”
 
−
# If '''low''' and '''rounded''', “у”
 
−
# If '''high''' and '''unrounded''', “и”
 
−
# If '''high''' and '''rounded''', “ÿ” (after)

General information

Parts of speech: Nouns, adjectives, numerals, pronouns, verbs, adverbs, postpositions, conjunctions, particles, interjections, imitative words.

Cases: Nominative, genitive, dative-locative, accusative, locative, ablative, instrumental.

Sentence order: Adverbial + SOV.

There exists no grammatical gender. There are no distinctions between animate and inanimate forms.


Grammar points

Plurality

Rule:

  • лар after [а, о, у, ы] in lemma;
  • лер after [и, э, ӧ, ӱ] in lemma;

Notes:

  1. if the lemma ends at a nasal sound, we will use -нар or -нер
  2. if the lemma ends at -ь, -ь is removed

Morphological Analysis:

пычах <n><pl> пычахлар
хыз <n><pl> хызлар
хурйух <n><pl> хурйухлар
от <n><pl> отлар
эль <n><pl> эллер
тиш <n><pl> тишлер
кöз <n><pl> кöзлер
гÿль <n><pl> гÿллер
  • пычах<n><pl> ↔ пычахлар
  • хыз<n><pl> ↔ хызлар
  • хурйух<n><pl> ↔ хурйухлар
  • от<n><pl> ↔ отлар
  • эль<n><pl> ↔ эллер
  • тиш<n><pl> ↔ тишлер
  • кöз<n><pl> ↔ кöзлер
  • гÿль<n><pl> ↔ гÿллер

Verbs Present Tense

If there is a high vowel followed by a consonant at the end of the stem, then high vowel deletes if the suffix begins at the vowel (отур-отруйум)

If there is a low vowel, it does not drop

There is vowel harmony. V = verb

There is also vowel harmony in the I person plural. If the vowel is (и, ÿ), the last consonant of the tense suffix is к If the vowel is (ы, у), the last consonant of the tense suffix is х

  • I person singular: verb-( )й-Vм
  • I person plural: verb-( )й-Vик
  • II person singular: verb-( )й-сVн
  • II person plural: verb-()й-сVнVз
  • III person singular: verb-Vй
  • III person plural: verb-( )й-лVр
