Hope this is useful to someone.

To see:

  1. I see - Urnen.
  2. He/She/It sees - Urnes.
  3. They see - Urnesi.

  2. Ñuhi (Singular accusative).

Lunar Class (the previous class):

    I still don't get the difference between Nuhys and Nuha, can you please explain? I don't even exactly know that Nominative and Accusative means but I study languages with feeling instead of studying the grammar. Could you explain it another way perhaps?

    swordsperson is not accepted

    Report it. Swordsperson is a good translation to stay close to HV, as azantys is gender-neutral and it's literally sword- azan- -person -tys.

    That's true, but swordperson doesn't make sense in english. I don't think a literal translation is what Duolingo is aiming for.

    That is true. And, the licit translations for the word "azanti" are knight, swordsman, and swordswoman. "Knight" is the most gender-neutral of them all.
