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. Finally a table of common inflectional suffixes:
