Euphony. For the purposes of euphony, definite articles must take a final -n when preceding words beginning with a vowel. Likewise, they may drop the final -r of the plural forms if preceding words beginning with a consonant. Examples: on otró (the water); sahë tä yeler (I see the girls).

The indefinite article (ën) does not vary and is used only in the singular.
