| − | === 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)

| − | === The Suffix of Plurality ===
| |
| − | * лар/лер
| |
| − | If the base ENDS WITH A м/н CONSONANT, л CHANGES TO н
| |
| − |
| |
| − | === Cases (Nominative and Accusative) ===
| |

| − | CASES (NOMINATIVE AND ACCUSATIVE)

| |

| |
| − | There is harmony of consonants: if a word ends at -x, -к, -п,
| |
| − | And if the suffix starts at a vowel,
| |
| − | Then х - ғ, к - г, п - б change
