Nouns, unlike verbs, have only one form: the root.
They decline for case and honorifics, but adjectives can tell number.
Cases: Accusative (base, nouns with je), Nominative (intransitive, also as dative), Ergative (transitive, nouns with uku), Vocative, Causative (Used for the person making something, or to state the existence of an object), Benefactive
Nominative- l(i)-
Ergative- t(a)-
Vocative- e-
Causative- z(i)-
Benefactive- h(e)-
The base honorific status is normal. There is also a honorific for the gods used in prayer only that rarely appears outside the vocative or benefactive case. There are three levels of honorifics for superiors. There are also a positive object honorific and a negative object honorific, used to discuss positive and negative characteristics respectively. There is also an honorific for children and an honorific for employees of such, though that one is often replaced with a title.
