===Noun declension===
There is no article per se, but the numeral ṡāhu, ''one'', can play the role of an '''indefinite article'''. It is placed before the noun, agreeing with it in case by using the adjectival endings.
Nouns are declined in case and number by adding the following endings to the base form of the noun:
