Nouns
Nouns decline based on number and case. There are both prefixes and suffixes.

Prefixes will always end with a vowel. If a prefix is placed on a word which begins with a vowel, and the two vowels are an illegal diphthong, a "b" is added between them.

Suffixes will always begin with a vowel. If a suffix is placed on a word which ends with a vowel, and the two vowels are an illegal diphthong, a "b" is added between them.

Affixes are ordered from left to right, so prefixes are ordered toward the word, and suffixes are ordered away from the word. Only one of each type of affix is allowed at the same time. Usually only 1 prefix and/or 1 suffix are used. Occasional instances may allow the use of more than 1, but those are rare exceptions.
