Noun declension
As already mentioned, the nominal root has a CVCV structure. This structure can be derivatively and semantically expanded by other syllables, while still preserving its vowel-ending structure.
Nouns do decline, according to their role in the sentence for case. They also distinguish three morphological numbers, singular, dual, and plural.
A nominal root is thus declined for case and number by adding the following morphemes:
| Case morphemes | |
| -li | |
| - | |
| -ra | |
| -ʂu | |
| -χæ | |
| -kʰu | |
| -kʰæ | |
| -ŋil | |
| -ʈar | |
| Numeral morphemes | |
| - | |
| -no | |
| -ʔi | |
Some examples are shown below: a class I noun, papəw, father, and a class II noun, sōgo, house.
| papəwliə | papəwliəno | |||
| papəw | papəwno | sōgo | sōgono | |
| papəwra | papəwrano | sōgora | sōgorano | |
| papəwxə | papəwxəno | sōgoxə | sōgoxəno | |
| papəwxəw | papəwxəwno | sōgoxəw | sōgoxəwno | |
| sōgogiəl | sōgogiəlno | |||
As for the rules, the endings for the abessive case cannot be added to a class I noun, while the endings for the ergative case cannot be added to a class II noun.
