-===Irregular verbs===
+====Irregular verbs====
 Rttirri has 20 irregular verbs, which have special forms for the past and future inflections. However, when used with a modal verb, they are regularized, so the normal affixes ''-pu-'' and ''-mi-'' are used.

+===Nouns===
+Compared to verb inflection, noun inflection in Rttirri is fairly simple.
+====Possession====
+Like Arabic, Rttirri nouns may be inflected for possessor, using the ergative prefixes.
+:'''''na'''-puki''
+:1SG.GEN-dog
+:My dog
+Rttirri is considered a pro-drop language, but when emphatic pronouns are used, they are formed with ''-ttu'' ("self") in this way.
+''Ke-hhi-pu-enai-syi ke-'''ttu'''!''
+:2SG.ERG-3PL.ABS-kill-INFER 2SG.GEN-self
+:''You'' killed them!
+====Postpositions====
+Nouns can take the following postpositions:
