Noun pluralization
Nouns are declined for number with different models, depending on the class to which they belong:
- Consonantal class: The last vowel is reduplicated and placed at the end of the word. If this vowel is long, its reduplicated form is shortened.
- Vocalic class: If the noun ends in a short vowel, this vowel is lenghtened. If the last vowel is long, this vowel undergoes breaking or diphthongization. The vowel ə does not undergo any change.
Examples:
sing. tɬʼīx → plur. tɬʼīxi
sing. gāβra → plur. gāβrā
sing. βā → plur. βwa
There is, however, a certain amount of irregularities and exceptions to these rules. For example:
sing. βūβ → plur. βujβ
Noun declension
Nouns are also declined in case by adding the following endings to the base form of the noun:
class |
class | |
| - | ||
| -ɴ / əɴ1 | -ɴ | |
| -uɟ | -ɟ | |
| -iq | -q | |
| -aʈ | -ʈ |
