In language, verbs conjugate and nouns decline. The nouns of this lang follow a pattern of case and count, and depends on whether the root word starts / ends with a vowel.

Have I confused you? Yeah, me too.

There are 4 case systems:

• nominative [subject]
genitive [possessive]
• accusative [object]
• causative [the cause of something]

4 counts:

• singular [one]
• dual [two]
• trial [three]
• plural [four or more]

And two declensions classes:

first class - where the noun starts / ends in a consonant

second class - where the noun starts / ends in a vowel

Obviously, everything mentioned above is applied to countable nouns. In the case of uncountable nouns, only the singular nominative, accusative and causative cases are used.

Like in English where you add [S] at the end of a word to make it plural, in this lang, you add the affix to the beginning or end of a noun to indicate it's case and count.

Example 1:

idhormikijha means [these two men cause...].

Breakdown:
idh - second class dual causative declension
ormik - noun, meaning man
i - first class dual nominative declension
jha - demonstrative, meaning these

★view chapter on demonstratives for more information.

Example 2:

othormikosjhi means [those (many) men cause...]

Breakdown:
oth - second class plural causative declension
ormik - noun, meaning man
os - first class plural nominative declension
jhi - demonstrative, meaning those

Below is the declension table. As previously mentioned, the first class is for nouns that start / end in a consonant, and the second class is for nouns that start / end in a vowel.

 As previously mentioned, the first class is for nouns that start / end in a consonant, and the second class is for nouns that start / end in a vowel
