Nouns
Most nouns are identified by the suffixes “-ad” and “-en”, which are the root state. There are irregulars as well; these follow slightly different rules. All nouns are made plural by adding “-i” onto the end, to result in “-adi” or “-eni”. Although the endings technically correspond to masculine and feminine grammatical genders respectively, this is largely a vestigial construction that has no bearing on agreement with other parts of speech save pronouns. Compounds are fomed with a modifier-first, head final order. Finding these is infrequent; however they still exist and constitute another use of the ['] in words, for example “lýxir’vylazárad” from “vylazarad lyxirid”.

Noun “casts”: Beyond the basic endings of “-ad/en”, there are multiple “casts” or alternate endings to nouns that denote an additional layer of meaning on top of the basic definition.
 * Incarnational cast (-álad/árad/álen/áren): Indicates a measure of something or an iconic form of a more abstract concept. See “askenarad” (dawn) from “askenad” (ascent); “iradialad” (radiant, path) from “iradiad” (path, trajectory); “katarad” (measurement) from “katad” (amount); “nimarad” (civilisation) from “nimad” (person).
 * Diminutive cast (-ísad/ísen): Indicates an smaller or more limited version of the noun in question. See “marenisad” (shuttle, dinghy) from “maren” (boat); “nokonisad” (remnant) from “nokonad” (part).
 * Iterative cast (-ákad/áken): Indicates a repetition of the original noun or an ongoing process. Inherently linear in nature. Not to be confused with “-áken as a suffix denoting “first”. See “utakad” (melody) from “utad” (pitch, note); “ariakad” (employment) from “ariad” (task); “kwvenegaken” (storm) from “kwvenegen” (cloud).
 * Constructional cast (-ázad/ázen): Indicates a complex or system built upon the original noun in question. See “rigazad” (star-system) from “rigad” (star); “vystazad” (view, defined vision) from “vystad” (seeing), "ekylazen" (education) from "ekylen" (mastery, expertise).

Verbs
Aláranid is an agglutinative language; both prefixes and suffixes are used. Prefixes indicate the tense, of which there are five. Suffixes indicate personal endings. To create the progressive form of any tense, simply append the suffix “-ind” or, after “í" or "á", "-nind". To negate or invert the meaning of a verb, add (after the tense prefix) the prefix “ni-“ in present indicative or "‘i-" for any other tense. To create an imperative form, use the second-person singular in future tense. For example, given the verb kisamir or "to think":
 * "I think" becomes kisamí;
 * "You (pl.) may have thought" becomes eínkisamút;
 * and "They will not believe" becomes ín'ikisamát.

Adjectives
Adjectives are formed from associated nouns by way of converting the “-ad” or “-en” to “-id”. In cases where the letter before “-ad” is an “-e” or “-i”, the suffix becomes “-alid” instead. This can occasionally result in situations where the modified version is identical to the normal adjective form of a different noun. Here, contextual clues are relied upon to discern between the two. Also, as with verbs, adjectives can be modified with the prefix “ni-“ to invert their meaning (i.e. “esténid” or “hopeful” to “niesténid” or “hopeless”). The number (singular or plural) must also agree with the noun and verb, and in the case of a plural adjective, the suffix “-idni” is used.

Pronouns
There are object pronoun prefixes appended to verbs and prepositions. These are as follows: Consequently, using the verb "to tell" (setarir) to say "I tell you" in present tense would yield us'etarí. Similarly, saying "I saw a mountain in front of me" would be izmenál síren ánlaní.
