==Nouns==
Nouns in Iðâɣ language can end either in a vowel or in a consonant, although there is a marked tendency for the vocalic ending. Nouns ending in a consonant, usually add a euphonic vowel before the normal declension endings.
Nouns in Læntixu language end mostly in a vowel in their basic form. A certain number of nouns, however, end in a consonant; in this case a euphonic vowel, mostly -i-, is added at the end of noun before the normal declension endings.  


Nouns are grouped into two declension classes: animate nouns or first class and inanimate nouns or second class. The first class generally includes nouns indicating animate beings, namely capable of intentional motion or action, while the second class includes inanimate objects or entities. As a rule, we can sketch out the following scheme:
Nouns display neither gender nor class distinction. There are, however, two morphological numbers for almost all nouns, '''singular''' and '''plural''', and a limited case system. If a noun is deemed as definite, a form of '''definite article''' is used and placed before it.
*'''1<sup>st</sup> class''': human beings, animals, deities
*'''2<sup>nd</sup> class''': plants, objects, ideas, feelings, senses, perceptions
A noun is not irreversibly included in one of the two classes, as nouns lack clear morphological marks for each class. There is, thus, a certain amount of exceptions to this general rule.
 
Despite the general lack of morphological markers in the basic forms, being thus unable to distinguish the two classes, the declension patterns depend on which class a noun belongs to.
 
There are two morphological numbers for almost all nouns, '''singular''' and '''plural'''.

Nouns

Nouns in Læntixu language end mostly in a vowel in their basic form. A certain number of nouns, however, end in a consonant; in this case a euphonic vowel, mostly -i-, is added at the end of noun before the normal declension endings.

Nouns display neither gender nor class distinction. There are, however, two morphological numbers for almost all nouns, singular and plural, and a limited case system. If a noun is deemed as definite, a form of definite article is used and placed before it.
