Rule #9
Inuktitut words are theoretically infinite in number.
All Inuktitut words can be classified according to their grammatical properties.
A full Inuktitut word is most often a combination of chunks generated as part of the speech process and not found anywhere in the mental lexicon, much like sentences in English.

1. Nouns : inuit
2. Verbs: takuvunga
3. Pronouns:
- Demonstrative pronouns : una
- Locative pronouns tamaani
- Personal pronouns uvagut
- Interrogative pronouns kinakkut
