Dlav nouns inflect by case and number: | |||
* Eleven cases: nominative, accusative, dative, genitive, instrumental, abessive, comitative, inessive, adessive, allative, ablative. | |||
** Of which, five cases are strong, i.e. they need the original grade form of a root, those are: nominative, accusative, dative, inessive and ablative. | |||
* Two numbers: singular and plural. | |||
