 Shadowlandian treated the suffix //-at// as infinitive or 3rd person singular marker. PE#17 states, that //-at// is a suffix of //participle//, but translated as infinitive of purpose, or expression "for" + gerund. Nûrlâm author suggests the term //[[grammar_gerundive|gerundive]]//, as the similar construct resembling simultaneously infinitive, gerund and participle was used in Latin. Please, keep in mind: Nûrlâm's gerundive is not a direct equivalent of Latin's, and their usage may differ sometimes. Thus, //-at// in Nûrlâm is used only as gerundive. Shadowlandian treated the suffix //-at// as infinitive or 3rd person singular marker.

-To resolve ambiguity, Nûrlâm introduced new suffix for [[grammar_infinitive|pure infinitive]], //-ut//. Infinitives in Nûrlâm are used almost exclusively in [[syntax_predicate#compound_predicate|compound predicates]], e.g. with [[modal verbs]]. They are also used as subject or object of the sentence, which is rare. You can compare usage of gerundive and infinitive in [[include:infinitive_vs_gerundive|this table]]. By the way, "to resolve amgiguity" is gerundive, and "can compare" should be translated into Nûrlâm as modal verb "pâsh" + infinitive "bîkut" (despite "to" not used in English).+To resolve ambiguity, Nûrlâm introduced new suffix for [[grammar_infinitive|pure infinitive]], //-ut//.
