Alethi primarily makes use of suffixes to modify words, most notably in names.{{book ref|sa3|7}}{{book ref|sa3|42}}{{book ref|sa3|52}}{{wob ref|3199}}{{ref|group=fn|text=<span style="font-size:90%">As seen in Adolin, Renarin, Oroden, and Kaladin, each making use of the suffix *-lin* or *-len*, translating to "born unto" or "child of", which modifies the central noun of their name. This can also be seen in Dalinar, with the suffix -nar, meaning "like unto".{{book ref|sa3|52}}</span>}} However, compound words have the modifying word placed before the noun it modifies.{{citefile ref|Alethi Glyphs Page 1.jpg|Alethi Glyphs: Page 1}}
