Unlike Minhast and Nankôre, Nahónda explicitly marks number on nouns with the affix ''-pi''.  This affix is a borrowing from Lakota.  To indicate collectives, particularly of animals, reduplication is employed, e.g. ''tatselo''<ref>Tatselo is cognate with Minhast kaslub "dog", and Nankóre kospor "fox".</ref> "elk" → ''tatatselo'' "a herd of elk". Collectives can be further pluralized, e.g. ''tatatselo'' → ''tatatselo<u>pi</u>'' "elk herds".
