Saakviü nouns may decline based on number (singular, dual, plural) and case (nominative, genitive, ablative, locative, instrumentative), with the ending noun ending always being modified by a suffix based on properties of the root or the suffix.
Negation of the noun is always done by prefix, not suffix.
Saakviü nouns have no grammatical gender.
Definitiveness is shown by articles preceding the noun.
