A question about the order of suffixes.

Hello,

I was wanting to know what the order of suffixes/prefixes are in Dovahzul.... (for example: if I were to translate 'my dragons' would it be dovahhei or dovahihe)

Thank you, Sneak Theif.

According to the Lessons, one should never use more than one suffix per word, but instead convey those meanings through separate words. "My dragons" would thus be "dii dovahhe".

However, if memory serves, there was once a time when this wasn't so. Words ending with vowels also had their own universal non-canon suffix -l. "Dovahhel" would have meant "my dragons" as well as "your dragons" and "their dragons".
