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 (including 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. | ||

There isn't an adverb suffix, unlike in English. An adverb applied to a verb usually takes the form of "particle + noun", sometimes fused into one word like ''nrit'' "here". An adverb applied to an adjective may take the form of a modification on that adjective, like -''[R]ui'' "well" and -''[R]ur'' "badly", where [R] is the final consonant of that word reduplicated, although this is limited to a few words. The common way of having a word act like an adverb is with a determiner that describes the branching structure of the phrase. | |||
