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. | Noun morphology, compared to verbal morphology, is relatively lackluster.

Basic nouns, however, inflect for five numbers and eight cases. | ||
