Nouns
Nouns inflect for definiteness and state (absolute/construct) and may include possessive affixes. A sample noun:

Indefinite | paṇoba | ||
Definite | paṇobahe | ||
Construct | 1st person | paṇabora | paṇabaroṇa |
2nd person | paṇaboda | paṇabadoṇa | |
3rd person | paṇaba |

- homa (legume) → hama
In e-type nouns, the e in the noun becomes an a, but the preceding vowel shifts: a becomes i, ā becomes e, and ō becomes a. If the only vowel in the noun is e, ...
