Editing Enets language (section)

==== Nouns ====
Depending on the final sounds of the word stem, nouns can be divided into two groups: 
# nouns with a final sound other than a laryngal plosive stop, e.g. ''dʲuda'' 'horse'
# nouns with a final laryngal plosive stop, e.g. ''tauʔ'' 'Nganasan'
Either group uses variants of suffixes with a different initial sound (e.g. Loc ''dʲuda-han'', ''tau-kon'').

There are seven cases in Enets: the nominative, genitive, accusative, lative, locative, ablative and prolative case. The case suffixes are combined with numeral markers, often in a fairly complex manner.<ref name=":0" />

The dual case forms are produced on the basis of an uninflected dual form with the suffix ''-hɨʔ/-gɨʔ/-kɨʔ'' by adding the respective singular case endings of some postpositions (mainly ''nə-'') in local cases.<ref name=":0" />
