 The caland gender was made up of nouns that resulted from nominalized participles and adjectives and consisted of both animate nouns (e.g. names of professions) and inanimate nouns. Abstract nouns were usually caland.
-There were also three grammatical cases: agentive/instrumental, patientive and genitive. Case was not marked by noun morphology but by preposed particles. The agentive case was marked with the particle *la~li (believed by Nostraticists to be cognate with Semitic *li- "to" and Indo-European *-(t/dʰ)lom ~ *-(t/dʰ)lis). The genitive case was marked with the particle *i. In Central Camalic (e.g. [[Padmanábha]]), influenced by Indo-European and Semitic languages, the case particles are preposed while in Peripheral Camalic (e.g. [[Camalanàbha]]), the particles evolved into suffixes in a more typically Eurasian nom-acc system.

 Proto-Camalic also had an extensive array of derivational affixes.
