			Nouns can optionally be distinguished by number. The three numbers are singular, plural, and collective. The semantic distinction between the plural -mE and collective -kI is weak. The set collective suffix, -(O)t'ə, however, is normally used for things in an identifiable set, such as a pair of eyes, a pair of shoes, a collection of houses ("a neighbourhood") and the like.

	All number suffixes can come after a case particle, except for the Set Collective, which is fused to the noun. However, both the normal and set collectives can cause the verb to agree in the collective number too (see [[#Verbs]]).

	===Accent===		===Accent===
	~~## Pitch~~ accent~~? aaáaàa~~ == ~~LLHHLL?~~		There are two marked accents: relative high and low pitch. High pitch uses an acute accent (á) and low pitch uses a grave accent (à). There is also a neutral accent. After an accented syllable, all subsequent syllables may use the same pitch until the next accented syllable. Thus:
			* tatáta = NHH (or LHH)
			* tátatà = HHL
			* tatatà = NNL (or HHL)
