Nerkami

Nerkami is the instrumental plural form of the Polish noun nerka, meaning kidney. It is a grammatical form used in sentences that require the instrumental case, rather than a separate lexical item or proper noun. The noun nerka is feminine; its plural nominative is nerki, and its plural instrumental is nerkami. The form nerkami appears after prepositions that govern the instrumental case, such as after z (with) in contexts describing means, accompaniment, or anatomical references involving the kidneys.

Usage and context: Nerkami is most likely to be encountered in anatomical, medical, or linguistic texts where the instrumental case is required. In standard, everyday Polish, kidneys are typically referred to using the nominative plural nerki, with nerkami reserved for constructions that demand the instrumental form. The usage aligns with general Polish grammar rules for feminine nouns in the plural instrumental.

Morphology and related forms: Nerka (singular) → nerki (plural nominative) and nerką (singular instrumental) → nerkami (plural instrumental). The form nerkami is therefore part of the standard case system rather than a separate word with a distinct meaning.
