<þ ð> are not normally distinguished in modern Liðakuin, thanks to how the common way Middle Liðakuin made an altered version of a rune when converting to the bicameral system is not very distinct for the letterforms {{Lida-text|Þþ}}. Liðakuin dictionaries (and orthographies for other Gomensayan languages) often add a diacritic to ''þóda'' to represent /ð/ separately; although not mandated or standard, the resulting letter {{Lida-text|þ̀}} is sometimes used for /ð/ in words with it. This especially holds for areas of the Fenril Federation where multilanguage contact is common.

The letters for /æ o/ {{Lida-text|ä ó}} are technically ligatures (specifically, of {{Lida-text|ae  uu}}, but are considered distinct letters.

Liðakuin nouns have one of three genders: masculine, feminine, or neuter. Nouns decline based on this as well as one of several declension classes, named after the nominative ending:
* '''1''': ur class; masculine nominative nouns end in -ur, feminine nominative nouns end in -un, and neuter nominative nouns end in -us.
* '''1''': lax vowel/ur class. Masculine nominative nouns end in -ur, feminine nominative nouns end in -un, and neuter nominative nouns end in -us. Some (typically loaned) words do not end in any of these vowels but are still considered class 1, chiefly the endings -os and -as (typically pronounced the same, as -as was seen as verb specific).
* '''2''': ing class; masculine nominative nouns end in -i, feminine and neuter nominative nouns end in -ing. This class is sometimes referred to as the "neuter-neutralizing class" as neuter declension 2 nouns are usually identical to feminine declension 2 nouns.

* '''3''': a/ar class; nominative nouns end in one of those two endings. Generally a noun ending in -ar in class 3 is neuter, while a noun ending in -a in class 3 is feminine, but nouns with either ending of any of the three grammatical genders are still considered class 3, as the declension pattern only depends on if there is an ''r'' after the ''a'' or not.
