Noun
The noun in Nalheárlu has 3 genders: masculine, feminine and neutral (common)
Masculine nouns have mostly the ending -o
Feminine nouns have mostly the ending -a
Common nouns have no ending, though they can easily be turned into either masculine or feminine by adding the appropriate ending.
There are two cases in Nalheárlu: the Nominative case and the Relative case. Grammatically, the Nominative case can only be possessed by the subject. The Relative case is possessed by all the other syntactic units of the phrase.
| Singular | Plural | ||
| Masc | N | ckarálho | ckarálhwl |
| R | ckarálhe | ckarálhwli | |
| Fem | N | ghlónrua | ghlónrual |
| R | ghlónrue | ghlónruale | |
| Neut | N | lal | lálwl |

However, if the plural form is used as a collective, the Masculine and Neutral nouns change the plural ending to -ol in both cases.
