nouns
number
Nouns are commonly preceded by determiners. Plural nouns are formed by appending -im. Dual nouns are formed by appending -ik. Trial nouns are formed by appending -ur. This does not alter the stress:
gender
case

The basic form of each noun, and the one cited in dictionaries, is the nominative singular. All the other forms can be derived from it.
oblique
- -o / -wa || beto || the house, to the house, etc.
genitive
The genitive for possessors (the horse's hay), composition (a meal of hay), and partiality (the horse ate some hay).
- -ai / -ya
- munwa betai - the door of the house
locative
