====The 'separating' form==== Both nouns and adjectives, declined or not, may take special 'separating' forms in -и (causing gemination when added to reduced vowel stems and, in nouns, when added to consonant-final stems) and -скер. The meaning of the form in -и is, roughly, 'the one of them that is X', while the form in -скер may be rendered as '(while) being X'.<ref>Павлов 2017: 146-150</ref> For example, пӳлӗм-р(е)-и-сем 'those of them who are in the room'. The same suffixes may form the equivalent of dependent clauses: ачисем килте-'''скер'''-ӗн мӗн хуйхӑрмалли пур унӑн? ''''If''' his children (are) at home, what does he have to be sad about?', йӗркеллӗ çынн-'''и''' курӑнать 'You (can) see '''that''' he is a decent person', эсӗ килт(e)-'''и''' савӑнтарать (lit. ''''That''' you are at home, pleases one').<ref>Павлов 2017: 110-117</ref>
