	The suffixes that mark definiteness, number and genitive case are agglutinated together onto the noun stem, which means that each noun will have a large number of potential endings. For example '''kvinnerns''' ''the womens'' can be analyzed as '''kvinne-r-n-s''' -- made up of '''kvinne''' (stem) plus '''-er''' (plural ending) plus '''-n''' (enclitic definite article) plus '''-s''' (genitive case ending). In all, a noun can have up to 6 forms.

The suffix that is used to designate definiteness is also called the ''enclitic definite article''.

	The enclitic definite article is only used when the noun-phrase is not modified by any other adjectives, determiners or articles. When these are part of the noun-phrase, the enclitic definite article is not used, instead independent, pre-noun definite articles are used; '''~~det~~''' ~~for neuter nouns;~~ '''~~den~~''' ~~for common~~ gender ~~nouns;~~ and '''de''' ~~for plural nouns.~~ (~~Incidentally these~~ definite ~~articles are also the 3rd person pronouns for~~ ''it'', ''~~he/she~~'' and ''~~they~~'')

	===Plurals===		===Plurals===
	There are two common methods of forming the plural; Called Plural 1 and Plural 2. Plural 1 adds a ''-er'' suffix to the noun stem when making a plural. Plural 2 adds no suffix, the form of the plural is often the same as the singular, although it’s normally possible to determine the plural from the context and from accompanying adjective inflections and articles. There are also variations on the normal plurals that additionally change the stem vowel by ''umlaut'' ('''omljud''' in SamSka).
