 ===== Word order =====
-While [[black_speech_dialects#shadowlandian|Shadowlandian dialect]] suggests that //all// adjectives should be placed //after// nouns in proper [[syntax]], in Nûrlâm it's considered [[archaic_style|archaic]]. All Tolkien's examples of this rule (Lugbûrz, sharkû) are combined words where short adjectives become clitic. So Nûrlâm assumes that long stand-alone adjectives (including all comparatives) are placed //before// nouns, while a large group of short adjectives are attached after noun's root. When long adjective is placed after noun in Black Speech text, it usually means that verb "[[verb_to_be|kulat]]" (to be) is omitted between them.  Short adjectives are written separately if there are more than one describing the same word, especially when joined by word "agh" (and).

When long adjective is placed after noun in Black Speech text, it usually means that verb "[[verb_to_be|kulat]]" (to be) is omitted between them. However many examples throughout this wiki have adjectives placed after nouns due to influence of Shadowlandian and stylistic reasons (e.g. avoiding further similarity to English). Short adjectives are often attached after noun's root. Short adjectives are written separately if there are more than one describing the same word, especially when joined by word "agh" (and).
