Flexion of masculine inherited nouns
The grammatical forms of Rromani nouns are not the same in words of Asian origin (also called inherited – mainly Indian, Persian, Armenian and Anatolian Greek) and in words of European origin (also called borrowed – including Turkish loans since as a rule they have been borrowed on the European soil). The present padmad is intended to systematize the grammatical forms of masculine inherited nouns, already introduced in padmad Nr 7. One has to distinguish nouns ending with the stressed vowel -o and nouns ending in a consonant – let us see both cases with a boxlo adjective:
|
|
vocalic (-o) ending
|
|
consonantal ending
|
|
|
singular
|
plural
|
singular
|
plural
|
|
A-ćham
|
laćho gaʒo
|
laćhe gaʒe
|
terno amal
|
terne amala
|
|
B-ćham
|
laćhe gaʒes
|
laćhe gaʒen
|
terne amales
|
terne amalen
|
Remember that the B-ćham is used for nouns expressing people (or mammals) who UNDERGO the action of the verb of the sentence or are connected with a postposition;

Click below to see nominal groups made of an article (sometimes – or a demonstrative), an adjective and a noun. You may observe that when they include a postposition, the latter is at the very end of the group.
A-ćham (o phuro gaʒo) B-ćham (e phure gaʒes)
B-ćham+postp. (e phure gaʒes -qe/-ça)
same thing in the plural:
A-ćham (e phure gaʒe)
B-ćham (e phure gaʒen)
B-ćham+postp. (e phure gaʒen -qe/-ça)
