Nouns in '''Eḥeiθymme''' are not inflected for grammatical gender, number, or case. In '''Eḥeiθymme''', there is no grammatical gender; neither the noun nor the adjective differentiate gender. This is in contrast to the obligatorily marked gender of the pronouns. In exception to this is when the noun is explicitly gendered, to reflect specifically gendered subjects. This distinction is wholly semantic. Number and case are entirely encoded in the definite article, of which is explicitly a marker of deixis. | Nouns in '''Eḥeiθymme''' are not inflected for grammatical gender, number, or case.
