Number exhibits a two-way distinction in nouns: singular and non-singular. Singular number is explicitly marked with the determiner ''han/ha'', while plural and collectives are unmarked. Nouns beginning with a vowel are preceded by the allomorph ''han'', while ''ha'' appears before nouns beginning with a consonant. Sometimes the singulative is represented by inflection, particularly [[Vadi# | Number exhibits a two-way distinction in nouns: singular and non-singular.
