The local case-endings are alike in the singular and the plural, but 

 they are added to ditt'erent stems of inflection, the nominal stem 

 in the singular ending in m, in the plural in n. This is the same 

 in the Greenland and in the Alaska dialects. Only the prose- 

 cutive case is excepted; .since in the singular it shows a consonantal 

 stem ending in /•, but in the plural either a lengthened stem ending in 

 -te, or a lengthened suffix {-thjut).
