=== Nouns ===
Nouns are not declined based on grammatical roles. Nouns may be split into two categories, namely those singular by default, often solitary, unique, or abstract, and those plural by default, often gregarious or measured by amount (such as uncountable nouns in English). When the usage indicates a different number than the default or when specification is desired, a ''suffix of number'' may be attached to the noun to express a wide range of meanings, such as -''il'' "linear arrangement of", -''ij'' "grouping of", -''is'' "member of", -''ik'' "small amount of".
A noun may be preceded by a particle that may express determinate/indeterminate, figurative/literal, and general/specific. Although the particle corresponds to the determiner in English, in Hwnic it is frequently seen as part of the noun, where certain combinations may have idiomatic meanings, such as ''ci ceqn'' "a specific pattern of excessive buying for the purposes of obtaining collectibles".
