Nouns
Every noun appears in two case forms: mutated and unmutated case. The unmutated case form is used in citation and is thus used as lemma here. The mutated case form is often required within a clause or a phrase (see Nias language for details), and its shape is predictable from the unmutated citation form for all nouns beginning with a consonant. The template nia-noun automatically generates the mutated form for these nouns.


 * E.g. for, nia-noun displays: fakhe (mutated form vakhe).

For vowel initial nouns, the mutated form is formed with g- or n- without a predictable rule; the consonant of the mutated form then has to be added manually in the template.
 * E.g. for, g displays: alitö (mutated form galitö), while for , ono displays: ono (mutated form nono).

You cannot use the template if the mutated form of a vowel initial noun is not known. When in doubt, just use the generic template nia.

The mutated form can be added as a non-lemma noun form. For instance, (mutated form of ) has the following entry:
