== Grammar ==
I have to have a solid idea of how nouns work in PEK; I'm probably gonna cliticize classifiers after nouns
 
So the classifier is almost a suffix, maybe fully a suffix by PEK
 
That may affect the Ernish I have now, which I'm willing to accept. In that case Ernish should probably choose one form, probably the PEK genitive plural for most nouns.
 
Ensuring that Quququqquq genitives always end in a vowel is easy
 
Genitive should be -some vowel + (ng) in PI
 
Some nouns, like proper nouns, family terms and body parts, shouldn't have classifiers
