Nawuhu has | Nawuhu has four categories of grammatical number: '''singular''', '''dual''', '''paucal''' and '''plural'''. If there is not sufficient context, all nouns in a phrase have to be marked with suffixes denoting their number, including if the noun is singular. If a word ending in ''-a'' must be denoted as singular, the suffix ''-’a'' is placed instead. | ||
Adjectives do not have to agree with nouns, though verbs do. Agreeing verbs have their own suffixes to indicate number, please see the [[Nawuhu#Verbs|Verbs]] section for more information. | Adjectives do not have to agree with nouns, though verbs do.
