=== The cases===
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 grammatical role of the noun cluster in a sentence is conveyed by some endings. These endings are bound to ''grammatical cases'', with usually well-defined roles.  


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.
The cases in Proto-Piti language are 9:
gardan gü hɛ
*''Agentive''
<small>the man’s house</small>
*''Passive''
 
*''Ablative''

*''Genitive''
<small>my hand</small>
*''Terminative''
 
*''Causative''
ʑanɔç čü̃
*''Instrumental''
<small>the young woman</small>
*''Abessive''
 
*''Locative''
The noun cluster does not usually distinguish any number. If necessary, a numeral meaning is marked by indefinite adjectives, numerals or reduplication processes.
