Exercise 8.1: Tread carefully when you understand and produce nominal wordforms for you must be able to handle case, person and number at the same time

In this exercise you will make sure to have kept the overview. To do so you hereunder get the complex nominal system as a paradigm. Please, observe that the locative case endings in the third column also represents the other 5 local cases. They behave almost exactly alike so if you master the locative you master the whole system. First you make sure to understand the paradigm in principle. If you without problems can fill in English examples in the paradigm this is not a problem for you. Then you will add all the endings you have seen this far to the nouns erneq, panik ikinngut and nuna. All cells without shadings should be known to you by now. Remember that erneq is a +up-stem, that panik is a -up-stemord, that ikinngut is a normal p-stem with a final ә, and that nuna is a p-stem. Push to check your answer, or to reveal the solution.
