=== Nouns ===
Nouns are marked for class, case and number. Packilvanian nouns are built as follows:
(Negation)-Definiteness-Case-class-number-root.
====
Definiteness is marked by the tone of the first syllable of the word.
* Indefiniteness: High tone
* Definiteness: Low tone
==== Negation ====
Negation is marked with a 'g' (or a ge if the word starts with a consonant) and always occurs at the start of a word.
==== Cases ====
