====Number==== | |||
Nawuhu has five categories of grammatical number: '''singular''', '''dual''', '''paucal''', '''greater paucal''' and '''plural'''. If there is not sufficient context, all nouns in a phrase have to be marked with suffixes denoting their number, including if the noun is singular. If a word ending in ''-a'' must be denoted as singular, the suffix ''-’a'' is placed instead. | |||
