Notes:
There is "dual" number in addition to singular and plural numbers,
but declension in the dual number is omitted.
* When a type-I noun is masculine, its genitive ending is -![]()
(e.g.
I![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
![]()
)
** Final consonant of the word stem is eliminated in front of -![]()
![]()
because of the euphonic reason, or it may combine
to become a double consonant.
# There is no neutral nouns in type I nouns.
