Noun declension
Nouns are declined in case and number by adding the following endings to the base form of the noun:
| -liw | -hiwliw | -nuliw | |||||
| - | -hiw | -nu | - | -hiw | -nu | ||
| -šu | -hiwšu | -nušu | -šu | -hiwšu | -nušu | ||
| -rɛ | -hiwrɛ | -nurɛ | |||||
| -xjɛ | -hiwxjɛ | -nuxjɛ | -xjɛ | -hiwxjɛ | -nuxjɛ | ||
| -ku | -hiwku | -nuku | -ku | -hiwku | -nuku | ||
| -kjɛ1 | -hiwkjɛ1 | -nukjɛ1 | |||||
1 These forms are deemed as obsolete and rapidly vanishing from current usage.
Some examples are shown below: a class I noun, bɛbju, father, and a class II noun, sōgu, house.
| sōgu | sōguhiw | sōgunu | ||
| sōgušu | sōguhiwšu | sōgunušu | ||
| sōguxjɛ | sōguhiwxjɛ | sōgunuxjɛ | ||
| sōguku | sōguhiwku | sōgunuku | ||
| sōgukjɛ1 | sōguhiwkjɛ1 | sōgunukjɛ1 | ||
1 These forms are deemed as obsolete and rapidly vanishing from current usage.
As for the rules, the endings for the secondary oblique cases cannot be added to a 1st class noun, while the endings for the primary main cases cannot be added to a 2st class noun.
