Grammatical gender is animate vs inanimate, and is not marked unlike in Shalaian.
Grammatical gender is animate vs inanimate, and is not marked unlike in Shalaian.


Plurals are bad:  
animate:
*i-affection: ''czowan, czuwen'' 'cloud'
nominative: qoahđbi /qʰoəθːpi/, qoađbidd /qʰoəðbitː/,  qoađbun /qʰoəðbun/ <- PShal *qũdba, *qũdband, *qũdbaan
*reduplication: ''raudżos, rodżaudżos'' 'fern'
genitive: qoađbăt /qʰoəðbət/, qoađbinid /qʰoəðbinit/, qoahđbă /qʰoəθ:/ <- *qũdbat, *qũdban=igid, *qũdbii
*''-óg'': ''folar, folaróg'' 'rose'
inanimate
 
nominative: qoahđb, qoađbădd /qʰoəðbətː/, qoahđbu <- *qũdbu, *qũdbund, *qũdbaa
dual is ''-odd'' /od:/
genitive: qoađb, qoađbinid /qʰoəðbin/, qoađbuk <- *qũdbuk, *qũdban=igid, *qũdbaak
 
The definite article is ''ki'' (cognate to the Shalaian definite article ''ħi''):
*The animate singular uses the aspiration mutation (from the abstract-honorific singular *-ʀ)
*The inanimate singular uses no mutation
*The plural uses the soft mutation
