Nouns
Nouns have 3 cases - agentive, objective and dative, 2 numbers (though there' are paucal forms for verbs and possessions) and 11 possessive forms for each case and number. (And also a 4th person form. Overall 66 morphemes, including the base forms. Daaawg.) Also, most noun roots beginning in XV-, where X is a voiceless sound, voice the X if the possessive ends in a vowel.
