Usage examples of "noun".
Quenya as in English, an adjective can be directly combined with a noun, describing it.
In a way, the adjective following the noun is treated as an extension of the noun proper, and so the case ending is added at the end of the whole phrase.
But when the adjective comes immediately in front of the noun it describes, it must normally be assumed that it is used attributively and not predicatively.
They are Article, Noun, Adjective, ProNoun, Verb, Adverb, Preposition, Conjunction and Interjection.
An enclitic that shows the noun preceding it in an agglutinated Elvish word is the name of the element following the enclitic, as in Corafolamelim, Owl River.
