Nouns

nouns (ašm [pl. ašim]) declining into number (sg. And pl.), gender (f. And m.) and state (indef. and def.)

The plural- the plural is always broken, and formed by changing the vowels and adding a suffix (-im for m., -at for f.)
The broken plural is formed from the miškil (bound morpheme) and changing it's vowels. I'll post the Miškulim later.

the code box is achieved by putting your desired text between [ code ] and [ /code ] (spaces removed.) This puts the text into a monospaced font, ideal for consonant and vowel charts.

It's even easier than that. There's a "Code" button in the editor for typing your posts. Select the text you want to be in a code box and click the button.

There's other nifty button there, too. Try them.
