Nouns may form the plural with -i (occasionally written -j), which is a fusion of two historical suffixes. The first being ''-ʔi'', which can be thought of as a verbal shorthand for reduplication, and the second is ''-ñ-'', which referred to collectives. The two ended up merging. | |||
Cases and other particles adjoin to the end of the noun, ''after'' the plural marker. | |||
Words ending with ''-i'' will end up with ''-ei''. | |||
