	If the noun is a core argument, then the [[Nankôre#The_Auxiliary\|auxiliary ]] obligatorily marks for number. ~~Number~~ is indicated on the auxiliary by the affix ''-n-''. For plural Agents, it is infixed, and for plural Patients, it is suffixed. Additionally, if the auxiliary is marked with the Inverse prefix, the prefix redundantly encodes number by vowel length, eg ''ta-'' for the singular, and ''tā='' for the plural. Some examples are given below:		If the noun is a core argument, then the [[Nankôre#The_Auxiliary\|auxiliary ]] obligatorily marks for number.

			=== The Tower of Babel ===
			# Now the whole earth had one language and the same words.
			# And as people migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there.
			# And they said to one another, "Come, let us make bricks, and burn them thoroughly." And they had brick for stone, and bitumen for mortar.
			# Then they said, "Come, let us build ourselves a city and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest we be dispersed over the face of the whole earth."
			# And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the children of man had built.
			# And the Lord said, "Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language, and this is only the beginning of what they will do. And nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them.
			# Come, let us go down and there confuse their language, so that they may not understand one another's speech."
			# So the Lord dispersed them from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city.

	The Nankôre number system is dozenal, i.e. base-12. The numbers thirteen through twenty-three are modified compounds consisting of the unit numbers ''~~shori~~'' (1) through ''~~shiktash~~'' (11) compounded to ''~~shin~~'' (12). The number twenty-four ''~~hanoshin~~'' can be analyzed as ''han-o-~~shin~~'', where the affix ''-o-'' signifies "multiplied by", so ''~~hanoshin~~'' literally means "two times twelve". The multiplicative pattern continues until the number 144, which is called ''nakpa''. The number 100 (''~~nenanoshin~~ >> nena ān-o-~~shin~~'') is literally "four (and) eight times twelve". The ordinals for the numbers 1-7 are the cardinal numbers suffixed by ''-ak'' or ''-ok''. Numbers 8-11 are the cardinal numbers suffixed with the ending ''-u''. The ordinal for the number 12 is again suffixed with ''-ok'', and the higher numbers with ''-nok''. If the ''-nok'' affix is preceded by a consonant followed by ''-i-'', the ''-i-'' may be dropped, provided that this does not form the impermissible consonant cluster -CCC- sequence.

	Nankóre's connective ''si='' has no known cognates, and unlike its sister languages, ''si='' is not restricted to joining NPs or complex, non-verbal phrases. While the dependency relation in a ''si='' construction may be discernible, often the directionality is ambiguous and thus context must be used to disambiguate, or other morphosyntactic devices, such as the co-occurrence of the inverse marker ''ta' '' in possessive phrases.

	Interestingly, some NP phrases where one would expect a connective to appear are absent. A notable example is ''Hôkun Pe' '', literally "long house", rather than the expected ''hokun si-Pe' '', which is uncommon. The expected form is ''Pe' hokun iná' '', lit. "The house (that) is long".
