Nouns
Nouns have the following cases:
| Spahr 'horse' | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| Nominative | Spahr | Spahrlich |
| Genitive | Spährer | Spahrlicher |
| Accusative | Spahren | Spahrlichen |
| Dative | Spahrens | Spahrlichens |
| Locative | Spahrs | Spahrliches |
| Ablative | Spährung | Spahrlichung |
| Instrumental | Spahrein | Spahrlichein |
| Abessive | Spährst | Spahrlichst |
| Equative | Spährte | Spahrlichte |
| Translative | Spährtens | Spahrlichtens |
The locative ending -s becomes -es after sibilants. The same case endings can be add to nouns ending in -e in the nominative, except that -ee- and -eu- changes to -e- and -u- respectively, and the syllable before the -e umlauts.
Pronouns

|---|---|---|
| 1 | brund | bründin |
| 2 | zied | ziedin |
| 3 (proximate) | teck | tecklich |
| 3 (obviative) | zick | zicklich |
Pronouns inflect just like nouns, and there are no irregular forms.
Accusative clitics
There are clitic prefixes for these pronouns in the accusative:
| Person | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | be- | ben- |
| 2 | zu- | zer- |
| 3 (obviative) | ge- | ger- |
Possessive affixes
| Person | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | -au | -abe |
| 2 | -em | -ebe |
| 3 (obviative) | -el | -etz |
Only -el triggers umlaut of the preceding syllable.
Predicative affixes
| Person | Singular | Plural |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | -oll | -eule |
| 2 | -eid | -eibe |
| 3 (obviative) | -end, -Ø | -endlich, -lich |
