description In Proto-Algic, a primary noun stem often ends in a derivational final, a secondary one in a nominalizer. Both usually resemble demonstrative pronouns in shape. A dependent noun stem lacks a root, and generally begins in **i:, **o:, or in a consonant other than **2 or **k(w).

Inflection for allocation differs for kin, human body parts, parts of nonhumans, and general nouns.
