-Infinitive is rarely used in Nûrlâm as modifier, adverbial and after verb "to be", as the [[grammar_gerundive|Gerundive]] should be used instead (as in [[ring-verse|Ring Inscription]]). Infinitive in Nûrlâm may replace English gerund (despite the term "gerundive" seeming similar). Infinitive can take other words to form a non-finite clause. Pronominal objective suffixes can be attached to infinitives, the same way as to gerundives in Ring Inscription (e.g. //krimputul// = to bind them).+Infinitive is rarely used in Nûrlâm as modifier, adverbial and after verb "to be", as the [[grammar_gerundive|Gerundive]] should be used instead (as in [[ring-verse|Ring Inscription]]).

When used as object, infinitive may be joined by the postposition; in that case, it is written separately after the infinitive.
