Ad. Ârû ’nAdûnâi “King of the Anadunians”

Ad. Ârû ’nAdûnâi “King of the Anadunians”

An phrase illustrating Adûnaic grammar, in particular how the genitive prefix an- “of” must be used when a plural noun needs to be put into a genitive relationship with another noun (SD/429). Without the an-, the preceding noun would be in an objective relationship instead. Here the an- is elided to ’n because of the preceding uninflected noun.
