 The [[Chlouvānem]] noun (''haloe'', pl. ''halenī'') is highly inflected: it declines for three numbers (singular, dual, plural), and eleven cases (direct, vocative, accusative, ergative, genitive, translative, exessive, essive, dative, ablative, and locative). Nouns also have grammatical gender, being divided in three classes (called ''dragon'', ''lotus'', and ''parrot'' based on nouns included in them<ref>Dragon is ''kaṃšūs'', lotus is ''yujam'', and parrot is ''geltah''.</ref>).
-There are a few nouns which lack number; a few are singularia tantum and lack a plural (e.g. ''hærūm'' lips), other ones are plural only - most notably these include all ethnicities (e.g. ''Chlouvānem'', which is also an irregular plural). The singular is made by using the genitive form attributed to ''lila'' (person), e.g. ''Chlouvānaumi lila'' (a Chlouvānem).
