-<!-- How do the words in your language look? How do you derive words from others? Do you have cases? Are verbs inflected? Do nouns differ from adjectives? Do adjectives differ from verbs? Etc. -->
+===Nouns===
+Arnic nouns are inflected by number, animacy and case.
-<!-- Here are some example subcategories:
+====Animacy====
+All nouns are categorised by animacy: either animate or inanimate. Case markings for nouns and pronouns change based on the animacy of a noun. As an example, take the noun ''meshal''("man"). ''Meshal'' is animate, so the surrounding case markings change as so:
-Nouns
+: '''''Yach''' meshal damoch'''elin''' madai.''
-Adjectives
+: <small>DEM</small>.<small>APUD</small>.<small>SG</small>.<small>ANIM</small> man-<small>NOM</small> food-<small>ANIM</small>-<small>ACC</small> eat-<small>PRES</small>.
-Verbs
+: This man eats food.
-Adverbs
+If ''meshal'' were an inanimate word, the noun case would be as so:
-Particles
+: '''''Reh''' meshal damoch'''arin''' madai.''
-Derivational morphology
+: <small>DEM</small>.<small>APUD</small>.<small>SG</small>.<small>INAN</small> man-<small>NOM</small> food-<small>INAN</small>-<small>ACC</small> eat-<small>PRES</small>.
+: This man(inanimate) eats food.
