Case masculine feminine
singular plural singular plural
indefinite definite
Nominative lìkkil lìkkel lìkkel
Genitive lìkkil
Dative lìkkel
Predicative lìkkels lìkkels

A stem with a long vowel *lítil would be expected, but sound symbolism caused the vowel to be shortened, and/tl/ became /kl/ for euphony, with /k/ spreading to the rest of the paradigm by analogy.
