| ===Nouns=== | | ===Nouns=== |
| Ouřefr nouns are classified into two genders: animate and inanimate, and they inflect for case. Similarly to Slavic languages, the case affixes are fusional, encoding both case and number.
| | Broken plurals |
| | |
| The inflectional cases are as follows. Other grammatical relations are expressed using postpositions and clitics.
| |
| *nominative (Japanese ''ga'')
| |
| *accusative (Japanese ''wo'')
| |
| *genitive (Japanese ''no'')
| |
| *dative (Japanese ''ni'')
| |
| *allative (Japanese ''e'')
| |
| *comitative/"and" (Japanese ''to'')
| |
| *instrumental/locative (Japanese ''de'')
| |
| ====Declension classes====
| |
| The declension classes are:
| |
| *''-a'' declension (usually animate)
| |
| *''-e'' declension (usually animate)
| |
| *''-aw/-ui-'' (verbal nouns)
| |
| *hard consonant declension (usually inanimate)
| |
| *soft consonant declension (usually inanimate, but default for loans ending in a consonant)
| |
| *Inanimate vowel nouns/-h declension (default for loans ending in a vowel; historically nouns ending in -g)
| |
| *''-ŕ'' declension
| |
| *''-ýn/-ín'' declension (adjectival noun)
| |
| *''-é/-ie'' declension (adjectival noun)
| |
| There are more declension classes than in related languages such as [[Nabbrzé]]; this is because of vowel changes after soft consonants and subsequent depalatalization.
