NOTE: the morpheme -kø- is apparently interchangeable with -ntø-; Nganasan reflects -ntø(j)- forms in the dative and locative, but its ablative reflects -kø-. Make of it what you will, really. This is apparently a northern Samoyedic sort of           innovated noun declension system. I am currently unusure about what the southern Samoyedic declension forms would really look like, alas. The dual was most certainly marked with -ń- but we are not sure how it further operated. The VERB SYSTEM I'll be using is currently modelled a bit off of Nenets ---    ////  Predicative  //  Def.
