Nouns
The noun cluster is formed by a noun, carrying the main meaning, and by other noun-type forms, namely adjectives, which specify this meaning or add other meanings to the main noun. Inside of a noun cluster, the noun can be replaced by a pronoun.
The noun usually introduces the noun cluster, being followed by every other specifying form. Thus, other elements conveying possession and belonging are always placed after the noun, as well as every attributive adjective.
kaztah kó mɔmi the man’s house
vámke isɔn my hand
žanɔ írçun the young woman
The noun cluster does not usually distinguish any number. If necessary, a numeral meaning is marked by indefinite adjectives, numerals or reduplication processes.
The role of the noun cluster in the sentence is marked by prepositions. Thus, it can be stated that the noun cluster can be introduced by a preposition.
ɔn goča hes hɔrto kaztah I am going inside the house
