-The member of sentence is called **//homogenous//** if it consists of two or more words joined by coordination -- [[conjunctions]] like "and" or comma **,** in punctuation. It may be treated as a whole or as listing of individual words with same role in the clause. For example, "__Shagrat, Gorbag and Uglûk__ are orcs" (= "Shagrat, Gorbag agh Uglûk kulû uruk-hai"), where all three names compound a single subject.+The member of sentence is called **//homogenous//** if it consists of two or more words joined by coordination -- [[conjunctions]] like "and" or comma **,** in punctuation.

For example, "__Shagrat, Gorbag and Uglûk__ are orcs" (= "Shagrat, Gorbag agh Uglûk kulû uruk-hai"), where all three names compound a single subject. Homogenous subjects require verb to have plural ending (see the example just before), and may be referenced later with 3rd person plural pronoun "tak".

 Two homogenous verbs should be placed in the same form: "Orcs walk and jump" => "Uruk ukh**û** agh kamd**û**". This is also true for non-finite forms, e.g. for infinitive: "He loves **to** burn, kill and steal" => "Tabrogb ghâsh**at**, dog**at** agh orsk**at**";  in English particle "to" occured once for all three infinitives, in Nûrlâm the equivalent suffix "-at" is added to all predicatives. Two homogenous verbs should be placed in the same form: "Orcs walk and jump" => "Uruk ukh**û** agh kamd**û**".
