{{PAGENAME}} inflected nouns with endings. Case/number and personal endings were eventually elided or turned into tone distinctions. Writers were nevertheless expected to write all case and personal endings, until the 1811 v.C. re-standardization of the orthography abolished personal endings as well as most number/case endings.
{{PAGENAME}} inflected both nouns and adjectives according to case and number. The inflection of adjectives in addition depended on their position and definiteness.
