Nouns

Mwail/Tucootka/Lexicon nouns are notable for inheriting the ancient diptotic (two-case) system with nominative singular -Ø < *-ъ < PSem *-u and genitive singular -o < PSem *-a. Diptotes are presumed to have been the oldest version of the Proto-Semitic case system. While Arabic and Akkadian developed the singular genitive *-i from the plural oblique *-ī, making their system triptotic, diptotes still survive in Arabic as broken plurals.

The case system has been restructured along Slavic lines. The behavior of the accusative case and genitive case are identical to Slavic: accusative is identical to the genitive for animate masculine nouns and to the nominative otherwise, and objects of negative sentences take the genitive. The dative and instrumental/locative was formed by suffixing inflected forms of the prepositions *la 'to' and *bi 'with/by, in'.
