==Nouns==
Nouns in Hoð‘i can end either in a vowel or in a consonant in their basic form. Nouns ending in a consonant usually add a vowel in their declension. There is no clear tendency on which vowel is to be added and the vowel is deemed as part of the noun root.  
Nouns in Rertu usually have a multisyllabic form; they very rarely have a monosyllabic form.


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.
On the morphological level nouns display ''no number'', ''case'' or ''definiteness'', exhibiting always the same unaltered form:
mṓrɟa
<small>wolf - a wolf - the wolf - wolves - the wolves</small>
