Noun morphology, compared to verbal morphology, is relatively lackluster. A large amount of nouns are derived from verbs and a derivational suffix. Nouns inflect for eight cases and five numbers. There are no articles in Hngatil.
Noun morphology, compared to verbal morphology, is relatively lackluster. Hngatil nouns comprise of two main classes: one that are derived from nouns, referred to usually as ''verbal nouns'', and nouns that are not derived from nouns, referred to usually as ''basic nouns''. Verbal nouns are majorly defective in their declension, only inflecting for two numbers and eight. Basic nouns, however, inflect for five numbers and eight cases.
