As already mentioned, Pı̀ is a morphologically isolating language. Each lexeme does not undergo any morphological mutation. Syntactical roles are thus entirely expressed by syntax and word order. Lexemes can, however, combine in many derivative processes.
Nouns
Nouns in Pı̀ usually have a monosyllabic form, or a multisyllabic form, if morphologically derived.
On the morphological level nouns display no number, case or definiteness, exhibiting always the same unaltered form:
ū̃ wolf - a wolf - the wolf - wolves - the wolves
A process similar to pluralization, conveying the meaning of an undefined amount bigger than one, can be achieved by placing the pluralizing particle e̱ after the noun:
ū̃ e̱ a lot of wolves
This particle has, however, a very marked use and highlight the meaning of a large quantity of the said entities or items..
