Nouns have two genders, three numbers (all inherited from Proto-Semitic), and 8 cases. The nominative, accusative and genitive were inherited from Proto-Semitic, and additional cases were formed by suffixing inflected pronouns (for example, ''beetilu'' 'the house (dative)' from ''*bayti-lahu'' 'the house, for it'). | |||
The construct state was lost. | |||
