| Patient nouns are formed by adding agent suffixes to stative passive or to ''-am-'' passive - e.g. ''arkanaa'' "one who is seen (''m.'')", ''arkameeya'' "those who are seen". The two forms (i.e. stative vs ''-am-'' passive) have slightly different connotations. For example, ''arkanaa'' might refer to someone who is being seen at the moment, while ''arkamaa'' might refer to someone who is regularly seen. | | Patient nouns are formed by adding agent suffixes to stative passive or to ''-am-'' passive - e.g. ''arkanaa'' "one who is seen (''m.'')", ''arkameeya'' "those who are seen".

| ===Numbers===
| |
| ====Cardinal Numbers====
| |
| When used with a noun, the dependent forms are used. When used as a pronoun, the independent forms are used. All numbers are grammatically feminine except for "one", which can be either gender. The masculine form of "one" (i.e. ''mitta'') is used for counting.
| |
|
| |
| Cardinal numbers come before nouns in the unmarked form. If there is no unmarked form, the singulative is used - e.g. ''lammá nama'' "two people" (NOT ''*lammá namooti''); ''áfar afka'' "four mouths/languages" (NOT ''*áfar afaani'')
