The noun declines by number and case. The basic form of a noun is the generic, which is neither singular nor nominative.

There are three numbers despite the generic: singular, paucal and plural.

There are three cases despite the unmarked: nominative, accusative and dative. When the fixed word order is used nouns must not decline for case. The prepositions use the unmarked case by default.

The generic number is unmarked, the singular uses ­m, the paucal uses ­r and the plural s. An ­e- is inserted to break the illegal consonant cluster if needed.

The nominative ends in om, the accusative in ac and the dative in ad.

Definitiveness is marked using articles: there is a definitive article ku and an indefinite article òl. The definite article ku is usually written as q when not capitalized. Articles are invariant.
