Plural nouns in Kendane͡ivash are denoted using the suffix -a or -'a, e.g. vahra or vahr'a would be worlds.

There are three inflections on personal pronouns: Possessive, reflexive and honorific.

• -i for the possessive form, for example sai means my.
• e replaces the last letter for the accusative form, for example se means me.
  Not an exception: The accusative form of e is still e. That being said, some dialects might render it as y instead.
  Exception: The accusative form of na'a is ne'a.
• -'ik for the reflexive form, for example sa'ik means myself.
• -qa or -qua (compound word usually capitalised) for the honorific form, for example Nakwa would be an honorific form of you.
• -qi or -qui (compound word usually capitalised) for the honorific possessive form, for example Naqi would be an honorific form of your.

Note that zetu inflects as Zetakwa and Zetakwi rather than as Zetuqa and Zetuqi - though someone would definitely still be understood if they used latter. e inflects as a for the possessive form, but otherwise behaves normally (Eqa, Eqi).

There are also two common contractions:

• -'n as a contraction of the pronoun and “to be”, for example sa'n means I'm.
• -'s as a contraction of the pronoun and “should” or “ought to”, for example sa's means I should.

• -'ar denoting “more -”, e.g. temi'ar for warmer.
• -'arar denoting “most -”, e.g. khalei'arar for craziest.
• -'aos̈ denoting “too (much of) -”, e.g. bantor'aos̈ for too vulnerable.
• -'ini denoting “less -”, e.g. ashee'ar for less pleasant or unpleasant.
• -'inin denoting “least -”, e.g. dejek'inin for least afraid or courageous.
• -'ios̈ denoting “too (little of) -”, e.g. temi'ios̈ for too cold.

All base forms of verbs end in a vowel and an s. The 's' is dropped for tense and person inflections (e.g. kas̈uie is the future second person of kas̈us).
