* 4.3 nouns have ablative singular with '''-ų''' and the singular stem, like ''aʔīma ''(a freshwater crustacean of the flooded rainforest in Southern Laltīmāhia) > ''aʔīmų; ''accusative plural with '''ei-au '''(> ''aʔeimau''), and dative plural '''e-ið''' (> ''aʔemið''). The regular ablative singular ''lilų''''' '''and the plural accusative ''leilau'' are however attested as variant forms of the declension of '''lila''' in some literary texts, particularly those composed until the 1st century of the Third Era in modern-day | * 4.3 nouns have ablative singular with '''-ų''' and the singular stem, like ''aʔīma ''(a freshwater crustacean of the flooded rainforest in Southern Laltīmāhia) > ''aʔīmų; ''accusative plural with '''ei-au '''(> ''aʔeimau''), and dative plural '''e-ið''' (> ''aʔemið'').

* '''lila''' has a peculiar, but predictable, behaviour in ergative singular and plural, that is the lack of any vowel between the '''l '''and the '''ss, '''and '''-iū''' in the essive plural. This happens for every fourth- and seventh-declension noun ending in '''-l''' or '''-la'''. | * '''lila''' has a peculiar, but predictable, behaviour in ergative singular and plural, that is the lack of any vowel between the '''l '''and the '''ss, '''and '''-iū''' in the essive plural.

* '''miyū''' has an irregular direct case for both numbers, otherwise it's regular but with the stem '''mih-''' (alternations between '''-h''' and a breathy-voiced vowel are all regular). Genitive '''męi '''is the only other irregular form, by simplification of earlier (attested in the early Classical Age) ''mięi''.
