===Nouns===
The Classical Netagin noun system is typical of Talman languages: nouns inflect in a singulative-collective-plurative system and have absolute and construct states. The ''-â'' is an inverse number marker; Animate nouns have an unmarked singulative and ''-â'' in the collective while inanimate and mass nouns have ''-â'' in the singulative and an unmarked collective.
