Unlike Minhast and Nankôre, Nahónda explicitly marks number on nouns with the affix ''-pi''. This affix is a borrowing from Lakota. To indicate collectives, particularly of animals, reduplication is employed, e.g. ''dagozloba'' "elk" → ''dagogozloba'' "a herd of elk". Collectives can be further pluralized, e.g. ''dagogozloba'' → ''dagogozloba<u>pi</u>'' "elk herds". | Unlike Minhast and Nankôre, Nahónda explicitly marks number on nouns with the affix ''-pi''.
