@Antonklroberts This entire construct is classical, not modern since modern mostly lost the construct form of nouns. So if you wanted to make this in a modern form you would say prasa d’khizwa and prase d’khizwa, but pras khizwane is combining modern and classical which looks very messy and just doesn’t make sense. People saying praskhizwane would be wrong. I hope that helpsShuraya (talk) 18:31, 20 May 2022 (UTC)Reply

in the standard koine, when the construct state of a word is used, is joined to the second word, it becomes a separate word; for example
- ܦܪܵܣܚܸܙܘܵܐ -> ܦܪ̈ܵܣܚܸܙܘܹܐ
- ܦܪܵܣܩܵܠܵܐ -> ܦܪ̈ܵܣܩܵܠܹܐ
- ܣܦܵܪܝܵܘܡܵܐ -> ܣܦܵܪ̈ܝܵܘܡܹܐ
However when they are written two separate words, they use the plural of the construct state in the classical; for example
- ܕܲܒܸܪ ܚܵܠܘܿܠܵܐ -> ܕܲܒܪ̈ܲܝ ܚܵܠܘܿܠܵܐ
- ܒܹܝܬ ܟܪ̈ܝܼܗܹܐ -> ܒܵܬܲܝ̈ ܟܪ̈ܝܼܗܹܐ Antonklroberts (talk) 04:21, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
This is why i have kept both plurals. Hope that makes sense Antonklroberts (talk) 04:21, 13 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
