====Vowel-reducing paradigms====
====Possessive suffixes====
The largest class of vowel-reducing nouns have ''á'' or ''é'' between the first and second radicals that reduces to ''a''/''e'' (harmonizing with the frontness of following vowel; ''i'' after a ''y'') when a suffix is added.
 
===="Crawling-up" nouns====
The "crawling-up" (Netagin: ''mittzúchábh'') nouns underlyingly end in a consonant cluster. In the singular oblique cases the stem is turned into a CaCC (if the bare form is CeCaC, CiCC for CéCaC and CoCC for CóCaC) form, and the dual and plural turn the stem into (CaCáC, CeCáC and CoCáC).
====Nouns ending in geminated consonants====
These nouns may take sound case/number suffixes, or get the broken plural as a CVCC/CVnC stem.
 
====''-eh''====
In nouns ending in ''-eh'', the ''-eh'' is deleted before a case ending.
