Nouns
Xaetjeon nouns could be said to have two cases, nominative and vocative. The vocative is formed by leniting the definite form of the noun.
-meo, -nae, -neu < ixmi, hinē, hinuoz

Indefinite | Definite | |||
Singular | Plural | Singular | Plural | |
Nominative | ba | bameo | banae | baneu |
Vocative | - | - | vanae | vaneu |
Adjectives
Adjectives do not take affixes. However, adjectives modifying indefinite feminine nouns (i.e. nouns that ended in a vowel in Naquian) undergo lenition.
- ba seowan
- a small person
- miv heowan
- a small house
However, the suffixes -nae and -meo always lenite the following noun:
- banae heowan
- the small person
Predicative adjectives precede the subject, while attributive adjectives follow it.
