 ===Parts of speech===
 {{PAGENAME}} inflected determiners and adjectives according to case and number. The inflection of adjectives in addition depended on their position and definiteness.
-====Adjectives====
+====Nouns====
-Predicative adjectives: no ending
+Nouns can be preceded by a definite article ''ein''.
+The definite article (possessive pronouns ''nein'', ''mein'', ''winder'', ''wein'', ''rein'', ''linder'', ''lein'' are inflected similarly):
+=====Gender=====
+Nouns have two genders, masculine and feminine. Nouns of each gender take their respective verb endings and pronouns in {{PAGENAME}}.
+=====Number=====
+{{PAGENAME}} has three numbers, like PPfK: singular, dual and plural.
+The dual is marked by dual case suffixes.
+{{PAGENAME}} has many morphological ways of forming plurals, some of which may be combined.
+*''-e'' suffix: ''Ŧeib'' 'goblet' > ''Ŧeibe''
+*''-en'' suffix: ''Zwerde'' 'law' > ''Zwerden''
+*''<sup>i</sup>-er''
+*''-et'' suffix: ''Ŧehr'' 'bird' > ''Ŧehret''
+*''De-'' prefix (''Ge-'' before ''t'', ''d'', ''ŧ'', ''đ'')
+*''<sup><s>i</s></sup>'' "de-umlauting" the singular stem
+*plural ablaut
+The plural form of a noun was unpredictable.
+The genitive plural could be in a third ablaut grade.
+=====Case endings=====
+In {{PAGENAME}}, noun phrases are inflected in 3 cases:
+*Nominative: subject
+*Accusative: direct object, some adverbial expressions
+*Genitive: possession, prepositional objects.
+{| class="bluetable lightbluebg" style=" text-align: center;"
