The Noun System in the Cherokee Language

There's nothing surprising or wild in that list. And those of us who care about these and everyone else can go look. One thing that struck me as interesting is there's not a huge number of root nouns in the language. Non-human root nouns are not directly possessed. They do not take a set A or a set B prefix. Instead, you give the noun and then the possessive prefix is smacked onto a stem used just for this purpose. So like my dog or your dog, you say dog and then my thingy. Then there's a dummy or something.
