As already mentioned, Pı̇ħ 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 Pı̇ħ 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:
hu̇ħ 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 ʔẹ after the noun:
hu̇ħ ʔẹ 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.
