====== Inflectional suffixes ======
Suffix is called **//inflectional//** if it changes grammatical properties of the word without modifying its syntactic/lexical category, word class or part of speech. But many grammatical categories in [[Nûrlâm]] are expressed by [[clitics]] instead. Participle and infinitive suffixes may be also treated as [[suffix_derivational|derivational]] suffixes depending on the point of view (if participles are considered as separate lexical categories or as forms of verbs, but in this wiki the second opinion is used). 
Finally a table of common inflectional suffixes:
