 ==Morphosyntax==
 ===Nouns===
+Nouns only mark for ergative, absolutive (lack of marking and citation form) and construct. Appart from these, Teutla uses a number of postpositional suffixes to convey most other senses that could be covered by cases in other agglutinative languages. More important than case marking is the plural, which depends on the noun class and can also cover names other than plain plural, such as collective or "completive" and a "multative" (many instances of one same thing).

+====Plurals====
 Some plurals include a semantic distinction and can only be used with nouns of a class.
