===Nouns===
Nouns are declined according to three genders (Masculine, Feminine and Neuter), three cases (Nominative, Genitive and Dative) and two numbers (Singular and Plural).  
Nouns are declined according to number only (singular or plural). There are no grammatical genders in Éljansk and case is not marked.

The base form of the noun is always singular, e.g. ''man'' "man", ''barn'' "child", ''ríķ'' "kingdom". In most cases the plural is formed by adding ''-er'' to the singular form, e.g. ''maner'' "men", ''barner'' "children", ''ríkjer'' "kingdoms".

The genitive of possession is shown by placing the possessor after the possessed, e.g. ''hús Duvan'' "Duvan's house", ''kirk Patrik'' "Patrick's church". When the possessor is a definite noun, the article ''en'' may be placed before it, e.g. ''Kong en Éljaner'' "King of the Isles".

===Articles===
