Proper Nouns & Adjectives
Proper nouns are always capitalized, but proper adjectives aren't.
Lunnationu, "America"
lunnationua citab, "an American book"
While many languages borrow proper nouns, Novvocu prefers to translate them or invent compounds that somehow uniquely differentiate them. So "America" is "moon nation" (lunnation) as it was the first nation to send a man to the moon. Note: nation is pronounced /nah-TEE-ohn/.
Novvocu itself is a proper noun, meaning "New Word".
