===Retail===

Retail shops in the Inquisition are still mostly artisans (''āndaralila'', pl. ''āndaraleliė'') for non-food products, while food is usually sold at market stalls (''~~ñoʔabemuh~~'', pl. ''~~ñoʔabemuvai~~''). "Traditional" supermarkets are not a common sight throughout the country, except for the large state-run department stores, the ''ṣarivāṃluvai'' (pl. ''-luvāye''), which almost exclusively sell products from state industries and state farms, and are typically huge, often monumental buildings, at the heart of large cities; the ṣarivāṃluvai in the central square of Līlta is the largest commercial building in the Inquisition. Another type of retail shop that is often found in large cities is the Chlouvānem equivalent of a convenience store, called ''laliāluvai'' (literally "night market") because they are reliably found open during the night (in some areas, it is common for them to be closed during the day). Convenience stores are also usually found at railway stations, bus/ferry terminals, and airports.<br/>

Another category of retail shops that may be identified is that of generic shops (still called ''~~ñoʔabemuh~~''; market stalls may be disambiguated as ''laṃghabemuh'' if needed), most of the time state-run, which can be compared to supermarkets, scaled-down versions of department stores, selling state-produced wares only — they are usually cheaper than artisanal products, but on average of lower quality.

Remote communities where most of the population works in a single activity (e.g. mining towns in the West or some factory towns) usually only have a general store (''yaivluvai'').
