A list of cool morphological features:
* Hurro-Urartian anaphoric suffixes (Hurr. Abs -Ø, Obl. -'''ne''', Pl. -na; Ur. Sing. '''-nə/-ne-''', Plu. Abs. -nelə, Obl. -na).
* Hurro-Urartian Suffixaufnahme (basically adjectival agreement but applies to dependent nouns too)
:: ''Resembles PIE -n for nominalisation/participles and Japonic -no for nominalisation''
* Urartian '''-hə''' for adjectives of belonging
* Urartian '''-šə''' for abstract nouns
:: ''Resembles PIE -tis.''
* Hurro-Urartian '''-lla''' and '''-š-''', Sumerian '''-(e)ne''', PIE '''-s''' and Uralic '''-ð-''' plural markers all have something in common phonologically.

Then combinations such as:
* -mi, -ma, -man

* -nana etc.
