+Eivo has no grammatical gender and no mutation.
-===Nouns===
-The definite article is ''-me'' for nouns ending in a V or a resonant and ''-ime'' otherwise. It's placed after the plural suffix: ''duuvooŋ'' 'a teacher', ''duuvooŋme'' 'the teacher', ''duuvooŋa'' 'teachers', ''duuvooŋame'' 'the teachers'.
-Historically feminine nouns undergo lenition: ''xuuþ'' 'an animal', ''xuuþime'' 'the animal'.
-The plural is marked as follows:
-*''-a/-ä'' for nouns ending in a C
-*''-n'' for nouns ending in a V
-Eivo has innovated new possessive suffixes, unlike Tíogall or Bhadhagha: ''skänänä, skäner, skänyy (his), skänii (her), skänäk (its), skänäy, skänäner, skänäd, skänäär''
-In the plural, these suffixes are: ''skänäränä, skänärer, skänäryy, skänärii, skänäräk, skänäräy, skänäräner, skänäräd, skänäräär'' (if the plural uses ''n'', the ''n'' is changed to ''r'').
-For "of (a noun)", the ''ezâfe'' construction is used, with the word ''ri'' (''rin'' before V) between the nouns: ''xaunskänme-ri-Leemi'' = 'Leemi's girlfriend'.
-My girlfriend = ''xaunskänme-ri-naa'' or ''xaunskänänä''
-My tall girlfriend = ''xaunskänme-rin-aarde-ri-naa''
 ===Pronouns===
 *''naw'' = I
